“You must prepare yourself for success,

picture yourself succeeding and

never think of any other outcome.”

Breakfast:  Part 8– See Day 1. Beef Stroganoff with dates, potatoes and gravy.

With a solid first day behind us, we head into today knowing our performance will set the conditions for success.

“Dobry Vecher.”

HOW’D IT GO YESTERDAY?

With four rounds out of the way, we finished yesterday in second place, trailing the French by 3 points.

81 France, 78 USA and 72 Russia.  Exactly where we need to be…hungry with the target in sight.

Now that the first day jitters are out of the way, it’s time to focus and get after it – just like Laurinburg.

SFC Krause hits the breaks on landing.

AND TODAY?

That’s exactly what ‘s happening!

Round 5 – All three of the top teams – The USA, France and Russia – ALL, scored 22 points.

Round 6 – We picked up 2 points and now, hot on the French’s heels, it’s a one point game…

Round 7 – Treated it like Laurinburg and scored 20 points – putting us in the lead by one point going into the last 3 jumps…
