See Me In Action

PARAGLIDING IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS

Okay, this has nothing to do with training, but in 2004 I went paragliding in the Austrian alps with my brother and his friends. On a calm day in a valley near Grossarl, we decided to climb the summit and all glide downhill into the valley together.

My brother was flying right next to me at the time, and he took this picture of me in mid-flight.
