Task 2: with strong winds predicted today the task was set shorter than yesterdays 104km at about 55km. Wind WAS strong on take off with many people (including me) getting a dragging on launch. Conditions were better in the air and eventually most people launched. I was late taking off but managed to climb and get with the leaders before the start ! Phew!
We set off down wind and never got as high as we were at take off. Rapidly making our way down course bouncing up in thermals until a final glide. I had a great result coming in 10th!
The wind was so strong that when I turned back into wind to land I was being blown backwards!!
Good result. Let's hope for more tomorow :-)
