Started out really strong for the first 20 min or so and I wished I had set up my 5, but then it dropped off significantly so I was glad I went with my gut on the 7m. I'm also getting used to my waist harness, I think it does help me in flexibility. I also like having my hook be higher up on my body because it is easier/quicker to hook in and out. The winds were super gusty, but it was all right. In the lulls I focused on my handle passes and in the gusts I either did my typical unhooked rolls or raleys or something else. I feel like I am improving on my handle passes, I still didn't get them in the air but I am much more comfortable releasing my front hand while still in the air - a good precursor to getting the pass in the air! I worked on them until I could barely hold the bar unhooked anymore. Then the winds dropped off a bunch and I had some errands to run so I peaced out around 4. | ||
