Nordics Task 1


We drove to launch today around noon after a rainy morning. The skies were clearing and hopes were high of flying a task. Yassen was our wind dummy today, and he reported 3.5m/s lift and great flying.

Wind was cross at launch, and launch conditions were tricky. Once in the air the flying was awesome even though base was low. There were ample thermals and we had a fast 37km task.

I was 1st into goal, and placed 2nd for the day. Bjorn from Norway won the day, arriving to goal 5s behind me but with 4 points more because he had higher departure points.
