The strike throughs on the scoring:

If you make end of speed section but land short of goal your time shows but in
strike-through because you lose your time points. If you had some leading points
you might still beat some people who made goal very slowly with few or zero
speed points. Those people's times are not struck through. This happened with a
few people on Saturday.

The last task was a great flying day. Like Task 1, we had a lot of time above
base before the start. Flying next to and between clouds with fifty other
gliders in the same bit of lift is ethereal, beautiful and scary.

Unlike Task 1, it never paid to get anywhere near base once on course, as the
climbs were much stronger lower and the people who left before you got the
strongest part of the next climb and got it sooner. I made this mistake
repeatedly early on and didn't understand it clearly til later, much to the
detriment of my overall score. Another good lesson.

I still had a gorgeous 70k flight flight for my birthday and my first World Cup
goal field. (Between Sun Valley and Baixo Guandu there had been only two tasks
with anyone in goal and this was the first with more than few.) It was fun to
see what Baixo Guandu offers on a good day. Stunning.

Of the ones I've seen my own favorite is Task 1
