Monday task

Another task today. We went to a lower launch today to avoid any strong winds on the normal higher take off. First thing this morning was blue skys but this changed as the day went on. Once on take off the sky filled in and we thought that we may not fly. Slowly the cloud broke up and we prepared to launch. 
Today's task was elapsed time with an ordered launch. The first pilots to launch grouped up and the rest of us eventualy launched. This resulted in effect in 2 races!
A fun flight for me saw me above my gaggle and making good progress. Unfortunately the gaggle made a mistake heading up wind to try to push onto the windward side of the mountain ridge. I did not think heading into the flat lands on my own was a good idea so I followed. The move did not stick and I ended up landing with some of the gaggle. 
Points will be bad today and I have no discards so today will probably hurt my position :-(
