We had a task thursday after all! The winds dropped and we went to a tiny north facing site. The take off area was only big enough for a couple of gliders. An 'elapsed time' task was set so to as to allow for a fair chance for all. We had an ordered launch and I decided to take off early. My plan was to let the top guy Claudio to go first then start a little later. This meant I could use his local knowledge to show me where the thermals were and then I could catch him up and Finnish with a faster time. The plan worked and we raced into goal on final glide from 16km out. There was nothing in it as we crossed the line together after a full speed glide.
I beat Claudio by a minuite and a half but was beaten into seccond by his brother also by a minuite and a half. Prety fast flying as we did 50+ km in an hour and a quarter!
So I finished in third place in the comp!
Wendy took off and landed at the bottom with many others. For this she scored minimum distance which after her result in the first task was enough to secure seccond place woman in the comp! Well done!
Will update post with pictures soon......
