The weather was much better today - an AAT. We finally got some nice cu's and a good task. I started just after the gate opened, and had a good run, but was cursing only being 1/2 full of water - just not competitive on a good day - we are hoping for a rest day so we can pull the bags out to solve the prolem. The Germans, Czechs and French are so organised and today their met people looked at the cloud and blue holes on track, so called their teams back for a second start when the cloud base was lifting. It really is hard competing against such an organisation.
Hi Team
ReplyDeleteI remember the first international comp we went to I felt like the Jamacian bobsleigh team in the movie Cool Running.
It's certainly not a level playing field when we are competing against professional teams and flying borrowed gliders!! Hang in there.

Yes, you may feel like the under-dog (know it well :)) - still, doesn't change that you are a great pilot - have fun, try to do what you planned, but don't worry if you don't. What an experience, eh?? x Anita
