Re: Newbie in California

I am so excited...After starting very recently, I have seen massive improvements. I am now up to 4:15 for static with relatively minimal discomfort. That is to say I think I could have gone 30 seconds longer but I didn't want to test my partner's CPR skills...certainly could have gone :15 longer.

I hope this doesn't sound self-congratulatory...my reason for posting this is this: It's freaking exciting to see such massive improvements in such a short time (two weeks???). I have competed in so many sports over the years and to just get to a decent level it takes months, even years. Now, let me say that there are plenty of folks who can go far longer than I can, but I guess I see this as the equivalent of an 8 minute mile or so....and that too me longer to accomplish than two weeks, that's for sure.

It's kind of wild to consider it a sport when the point of static is to relax...now THAT is my kind of sport!!!

Thanks for everyone's help and support...great board here!!!
