ANOTHER day of rolling the dice! I had an awful start, the gaggle I was with pushed nearer to the start before the race, trying to get into a good position. It did not work and we ended up lower scrabbling for altitude whilst another gaggle sat at cloud base in the flat lands. Woops!
After a lot of tentative thermalling we ended up with altitude to get the first turnpoint in the flats. Then a glide to the next turnpoint with a good strong climb saw us at base and in pursuit.
We saw the leaders at the next turnpoint and flew over them as they were heading back towards goal. The 'Drama Dice' came into play - lots of shade, no thermals and a glide to the deck. Woops.
I thought that would drop me way down the rankings but thankfully I only lost 9 places!
Result - 29th overall! Not too shabby in this level of competition.
So Sunday we will think about heading off. We are planning to go to near Mount Olympus for some flying and beach time then we have a ferry to Italy on Tuesday night. Then it is the Italian PWC the following week.
