My first CW comp in Nice
|
|
On the 28th of May I had announced 28 m for my first comp in CW in Nice...
The day before I had done easily 25 m but with a slight problem when I did the turn : doing my turn at 25 m I felt an ache in my right ear...
The day of the comp I started at 3:30 PM ; I did my descent very relaxed... I looked at the cable ...
at 25 m I decided to look at my target and I could see the target not very far away : I was at 26 m.... But then I felt an sudden pain in my right ear and I grabbed the rope to stop my descent...
as far as I remember my pain stopped as soon as I got my head up... then I began my ascent very relaxed and with plenty of air in my lungs...
I executed a good SP, and received a white card (which first surprised me since I had missed my target which was 28 m...)
My first question is :
1. Can my pain in the ear be caused by my breaking my neck in order to see my target ? Then can it be avoided by going on looking very tightly at the cable ?
My second question is :
2. Having grabbed the rope and eliminated the pain by being head up, does it make sense to let myself sinking down till the target, grab the card, and then ascending ? In this case I have no more right to pull the rope a second time ? In this case, shall I receive penalties ?
