Robert, may I suggest the following, in order to improve your ground speed as well as your chances of a successful takeoff:
(1) Reduce your body weight as much as possible. Shed any clothing......running naked would also improve your aerodynamic "flow".
(2) Strap some sort of large flat cardboard pieces to your arms in order to improve air lift.
(3) Try to think like a goose while you are accelerating, honk like a goose if that would help, bacome a goose.
Fair enough, but we ought to be practical too, for we know that the chances of Robert becoming a goose in his lifetime are rather slim, naturally, short of succumbing to insanity, in which unfortunate case he could become anything he'd want.

If you are goosed by a goose do you honk and fly
Just checking given my lack of ability.
Jerry, one way to recognize a foreigner in Canada is to see them interfere with geese while they are nesting or having babies. That can get goosed-up ugly, yet perversely comical too.
Peter, there is a large pond n park just a bit from me, geese have taken it over and it can get quite loud and many a 'stupid' SoCalerarian are chased madly about, it is indeed quite
There's another even larger pond I'll shoot later this year. Last year there was a rather dominate goose that chases rather large dogs around, humans; well most, have learned not to flock with it
This particular pond/park has lots of runners of all size pijuns, even a few flyers, it's a feather rich environment...even a stray Blue bird, sometimes Red Robbins take a branch n rest, it's why I bought the 300, just haven't made it back since 08...soon tho.

Chances a very low but my Dad's nickname from his youth was GOOSE. That albatross still hangs around his neck
Nice 2nd shot.
The insanity is on the way, I think I'll move away from landscape and wildlife and become a wedding photographer. My niece asked me to shoot her wedding. More gear purchases (1Dx or 5D MKIII) on the horizon.

There you go......I suppose you'd be spending some time on the Wedding Photography Forum now. I guess a high ISO capability camera becomes a neccessity for weddings......and you also need a backup body.......that means you might have to get both 1DX and 5DMkIII.

That's right, plus it is impossible to shoot a wedding without an 85/1.2, a 70-200/2.8, 35/1.4, 50/1.2, 135/2, four or five strobes with radio triggers, an 8-15 fisheye, and a laptop, projector and screen to start the sales process at the reception.
If I can't join in the snow shots, I'll try cheating. I was having a last snack before preparing for bed tonight, and I thought to myself that because the 600 EX-RT is so easy to set up and use off camera, I might as well do a quick shot of...
this:
Cacao nibs and yogurt, 100 L (thats a lens, not a quantity in liters!)
