The 200km task to the East was changed because of a problem with
airspace and a 126km task south with four turnpoints was set instead. I was late
to the launch line and got a tow about 15 minutes before the last start. After
climbing out to the cloud base at 10,000ft I crossed the start line with two
minutes left. It was catch up time and I had a fast run to heavily shaded in 2nd
turn point where I climbed with Jonny who left on final from 34km's out.
After grabbing the last two turnpoints I did a long glide to the hills 20km from
goal. I found lift and climbed until I had 11/1 glide and knew I could make it
easy. Thing was the there was a storm cell raining on course between me and goal
and after a while of waiting I thought it wasn't worth the risk and so I flew
back and landed by a road away from the rain and gust fronts.
Seven made goal and Trent won the day and with Jonny in 2nd. Big news is Attila
landed about 15 km short so the overall scores got a shake up and Jonny will now
be in the lead. One day to go and the weather looks iffy.
