Blessed DayYey, it's Friday! There are so many things I'm looking forward to, but let me first recap my archery practice yesterday.
Coach Chi is back from Korea and of course he knew very well just from watching me shoot that I hadn't trained since the tournament ended. I was dead and battered again. He fixed my form again, from the nitty gritty - I should stand with 50-50 weight on each foot, and I should lower my head to let the string touch my nose and lips - to the more technical - I should relax my grip on my bow some more and let the lower limb fall to just about my thigh, and I should release the string by pulling some more and not just simply letting it go - to the more important - I'm shooting too fast, I should allow 2 seconds to aim then shoot). That was a whole lot to correct again. And since I've developed those bad habits again, I've incurred... Never mind! Bam's reading this and I'll get a beating from her too.
But Coach Chi, former olympian (if I'm not mistaken, a silver medalist in the men's recurve division of the 2000 Olympics, or is it 1996?), shot with MY bow and arrows and WOW! That was a historical moment for all those present at the archery range. My bow had been truly blessed. And I thought Coach Ricky was good.
So, now I'm looking forward to tonight's dinner with the gang. I just have to get through all the obligations of today and I'll be ready to have fun later. Time for a break!
