Jump Numbers for First Half 2003 (1H03)

[Gawain 0]

Continuing to add variety to the weekly numbers game.

In early February, I posted a bit about jump numbers for the month, and whether I was keeping pace with my goal for the year. (Link here)

Then I provided a quarterly update here.

Now it's time for the first half 2003 report.

My goal is 240 jumps this year, 20 per month.

January, 20 jumps. 100%, 100% YTD goal.
February, 15 jumps. 75%, 87.5% YTD goal.
March, 15 jumps. 75%, 83.3% YTD goal.
April, 12 jumps. 60%, 77.5% YTD goal.
May, 19 jumps. 95%, 81% YTD goal.
June, 5 jumps. 25%, 71.7% YTD goal.

As you can see, there was strong activity in the first quarter, which was thwarted by several outside influences in the second quarter. This will continue to have an affect going forward.

For the half, I'm at 71.7% of my YTD goal. My forecast for the third quarter will continue to fall short in July and into the first part of August, which I believe will bring me to about 66.3% of my YTD goal. The reasons for this downward (no pun intended) activity was due to job concerns. Those issues have been addressed and put into motion beginning of this business week, July 14th (Bastille Day...ironically enough).

However, I believe that September through the end of the year will be extremely high activity months for my jumping with consistent over quota achievement bringing me over 100% of my goal for the year. We shall see!

If you're curious about how I'm calculating this (italics are forecasts):

Knowing that pure numbers can be difficult to grasp, I also put together a chart for your reference below... Blue skies...

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

60 so far this year for me. My goal is just to jump as much as I can afford, so I can't really do the fancy math.

You know that post you made earlier about having 500+ threads and 11000+ messages to read ? Well, one of them was a dupe of this thread. Enjoy finding it... hehe

Year goal is 365 - for obvious reasons. I usually manage 400 a year - weekends only.

103 so far this year.
Want to make it to 250 before the end of the year, then take it easy during the first half of 2004, and buy new gear..:)

Going to a 9 day boogie next week (in Stadlohn germany:), hoping to do 20 to 30 jumps there..:)

SO i go to down load my jumps from my jump track. And there is nothing past 3-15-03. Oh shit why did this thing break? it still gives me tones. So i figure it quite logging because i don't listen to the tones and so the computer figured i dont look at jumps either. Well i mentioned this at the DZ, while we are waiting for clouds to part. And Chris says "maybe you turned off your log book". About 5 of us replied in unison, "Why would you want to turn off your log book???". Any way that is what happened.

Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...

Since Jan, I've gotten just a hair under 300 jumps...something like 280 jumps (I'd have to check).

My goal is to hit 1000 this year.
