More Kenmore

Went up to the Kenmore shooting range again this morning to take in a little more shooting. Met some new people, got some more good advice on weapons and starting shooting and learned a little about scoring. I'm really looking forward to starting up as soon as I return from Sydney. Still haven't decided which air pistol I want, a Walther, Steyr or a Feinwerkbau. It really all depends on whether I want CO2, condensed air or a pump. Hopefully, some time with some other pentathletes in Sydney will help me narrow down what will work best for me.

You always hear athletes, or anybody trying to reach a major goal I guess, say that getting there is as important as meeting the goal. One of the things that I really enjoy is the many people I meet along the way in my training. The horse crowd is very different than the shooting crowd is very different from the running crowd, etc. Diverse, interesting people with so much to offer and a willingness to share their knowledge and skills. I can honestly say, even though my far-out chance at the Olympics is still four years away, that this is the most incredible time of my life. I'm sure it will only get better as the years go on. Stay tuned...
