World Champs, Task 1 and Task 2
Amazing flying conditions on both days with strong climbs (1200 feet /min).
We've been flying the valleys and the diving deep in to the mountains.
Yesterday, Task 1 of 162 km, there was drama at the goal line as about 10 pilots didn't quite get through the sinky air, and landed JUST short of the goal line. -I was one of them.
Jeff O'brien, of USA, smoked the day with a confident win.
Check out his blog. He's got some great photos and videos.
Today, Task 2 of 124 km, was another super day. Manfred Rhumer, 3 time world champion, completely blazed the task.
Christian Ciech of Italy finished close behind. Then it was 20 mintues before the next pilots started coming in.
Tomorrow could be borderline windy....
