[SCCC] Sprint

[Craig Gullickson]

Hi all,

Sorry I missed the meeting.  Something came up.

Anyway, for all the guys that feel like Rick, the
sprints are not always about beating that wildman in
OR but about personal goals and tuning your skills. 
Regardless of how everyone else does, I set personal
goals for each sprint I do.  Meeting or exceeding that
goal is what makes me feel great.  I think Mike put it
best by saying he set milestones and has steadily
surpassed them.  More often than not, it's the
operator and not the station in sprints.  Sure a
superstation helps, but skill helps even more and that
is gained over time.  Spend 40 yrs doing the sprints
like #429 Tree OR and you will have hundreds of people
wondering how YOU did it too :)

Great to hear a bunch of chatter on the SCCC list
again!
