Day 1 of the Brazilian Nationals started with a 90km zig zag task.
I ended up doing the last start with many others and was blazing the early
stages but then I got low on the Plateau and scratched and watched many fly
over. I ended up making goal and should place top 10 for the day. The weather
seems to be improving everyday with climbs already 6-800fpm to 9,000ft. Its good
to be back here in Brasilia for one of the last years.
Task 2 Brasilia proved to be a difficult 111kms with the 2nd last leg into a
25kph headwind. I was with the lead gaggle most of the day and we even managed
to get past the 2nd start gate guys. Unfortunately, the lead gaggle got low
before the last turnpoint and played a yoyo game for the next hour as we watched
the later guys flying high over heads. I was the only one to survive the lead
gaggle and was last into goal just as the sun was going down. Looks like Glauco
Pinto will win another day but only 7 of us made goal. 5 hrs of hard work today
lets hope tomorrow is a better day.
Another Hard day here in Brasilia with only 6 pilots making goal. Andre will win
the day and I should move into 1st overall. I was out in front for the first
half of the course alone but played the yoyo game again on the 3rd leg into a
30kph headwind. I was down to 100m on my 2nd attempt at the turnpoint and
managed to back up but finished well after the others as they flew over my head
high. Many pilots landed on this section so I'm just happy to be in goal. Go the
