2011 Senior Championships

The Senior Championships are coming up next week at Seminole Lake Glider Port and I am as excited as a virgin on her wedding night. I have the back seat of Karl Striedieck's Duo Discus reserved for Tuesday of the event and I am looking forward to this like a kid waiting for Christmas. I am sure this will be a great learning experience, a chance to see a true champion do what he does. Hope the weather cooperates, much of last years event was washed out.

Tuesday is looking to be one of the hottest for the week, so it's
looking good for your consummation. Be sure to eat 2 chili dogs, 1
bean burrito, and 3 Pepsi to get the best pumping action out of Karl
as he has never lost a day when prodded along by encouragement from
the rear.
After all, everyone should get nothing but the best effort on their
wedding night.

See you there.

Oddly put, do I detect a bit of double entendre? I am not one to prod a Karl from the rear, a Karla perhaps but not a Karl.

I was thinking of a low residue meal, the one you described reminds me of one I had just before qualifying in the altitude chamber 40 years ago. 'Twas an explosive environment for sure. Actually it would be tough to find two chili dogs and a bean burrito around SLGP. There is a gas station down the road on 33 but the best you could do there would be a mass produced, pre packaged Cuban Sandwich and I would recommend against that. Had one last year and it was the best laxative I've ever had.

I could not resist....I will say that some of the best gut busting
tales are those that happened aboard the S.S. KS, all as a public
service to the US Team. And the great thing is KS enthusiasm has not
faded. From Ed B. and Ray G. to the newbies who failed to understand
what was required to stay in a thermal, Fighter Pilot style.
We all look forward to what tale you come home with.

I look forward to seeing what a fighter pilot does in a thermal, I'll be taking notes. I've spent the last year trying to teach myself how to stay in one and would welcome any first hand experience, especially from someone with Karl's record. You speak as though I should be scared. I've been scared in an airplane before, but someone was shooting at me. I've spoken to Chuck Coyne and I hope to have an account of my ride in Soaring Magazine.

The fighter pilot note was how a newbie might describe max effort
competition thermaling (are you confuse again?) is. Remember, you're
the virgin and unlike being shot at (hmmm, potential gig), this will
be a good kind of scared (read thrill).
Also, I want to acknowledge Doug Jacobs and others, like Karl, who
have allowed so many to see what so few are aware of. I failed to
mention that in a previous post. All the ride-a-long stories would
make a great read.
