Parrot update

Sorry for delay in updates -

We got done with a drill called reference points. Todays lessons are really difficult to get right. No wonder as its level 2... Which makes me wonder what level 3 and level 4 are to be.

My physical fatigue might also have something to do with it. Yesterday being the first day, I was well relaxed and even the drills did not demand physical strength.

It is a different story second day onwards. I go out again in 20 mins. I am to run the track this time and it is expected of me to experiment with different lines on the track and explore areas where my bike otherwise never goes in a regular course of a lap.

This, I believe, is to prepare us for something very difficult that they plan to teach us in the afternoon session.

Signing off for now... pray for my lower back... it is getting really really sore.

Had the biggest scare of the day. Almost lost my front at C8.

Having the wrong line and screwing your entry makes me stiff on the bars resulting in excess input...with excess input, u screw your stability.

Lesson learnt the scary way.

Lunch time done...hogged onto bananas, some salad, pasta fluids... the sun's shining like it were made of steel. I wouldnt feel so tired if it weren't for the heat here.

Last lap the coach roade up to me after observing me for one whole lap and gave me a big thumbs up sign. After the lap I met up with him and he said my throttle control and lines had gone through a 50% improvement.

This has upped my confidence a lot. Suddenly my back is not sore and I feel I can turn in the corners even later. Turning later really helps you get a good apex.

That's for now... catch you guys later.

Done for the day. It is difficult to know what I learned today for there was a lot of info coming my way. But according to the coaches, I am improving drastically.

Fatigue raised its ugly head on my last lap of the day. On a left hander, I started preparing to hang out to my right. Got my xxx out and then got it back in and took the entire left hander sitting up straight on the bike as I had no time left to hang off the right way again.

BIG wtf moment that was....signing off for the day. Ciao.

I don't understand why loding and hotels are so expensive here. Standard of living is not even Rs.100 per night but I am paying 500 for a room which has no window...no warm water...and stinks all the time...no tv... half of the time there is no electricity and has no parking at all.

I went around today looking for better accommodations. They are all so expensive...2500rs for a single a/c room per night. WTF...deluxe room is 7500...even in goa, I get a room with a kitchen for 650 bucks...and here I am 35 km away from the city...it's not making any sense at all...

I am getting so bored in this god forsaken village where I get nothing other than onion uttapam. Went around 50 kms to look around for better and cheaper accommodations for future track days. There are none..a cafe coffee day just opened up today on the highway..I feel I have been saved.
