The past two days have included some serious Unicycle time and some serious Unicycle progress. Still a ton of work to do, but I'm more hopeful now than ever. Tomorrow is a first meeting with out Unicycle guru. Yeah, you read that right...
Report Number: 5 (June 9th)
Days until DCM: 50
Progress: Starting to have some success with free mounting. Able to make extended runs without wall assistance. First two major falls.
Self Evaluation: A major milestone. I'm much farther along then I thought I ever would be.
Notes: What a day. Me, Pete and Eric were out there for 2 hours. Fell twice (to the ground) and have some serious cuts and bruises now. I'm at the point where I don't need a wall now - I mount from a wall or a pole and go off on my own. Had my longest runs thus far. I'm also close to cracking the code with free mounting I believe. Also, unicycling is far more addictive than I ever thought it would be.
Report Number: 4 (June 8th)
Days until DCM: 51
Progress: Able to traverse the length of a basketball court with a chain link fence nearby.
Self Evaluation: Dedicated to my craft, but not making a ton of forward progress.
Notes: This was my first time waking up before work to get some practice time in. Doing so really wiped me out later in the day. Very structured today. Did 50 wall assisted runs and attempted to free mount 20 times. Didn't notice major improvement over Tuesday.
