Day 3

I am doubling as metman so i knew the high cirrus would be moving in - and it did. The clubclass launched first and were hanging around in .3ms - the cd changed to the fallback from them and then for us. But after i lucked into a 2.5ms to 1700m we were back onto the A task - fortunately a little while later we were back onto task B - just as well - around 16h00 with us all safely back the cirrus had killed everything. So we were all off onto a short 131 km task - with clubclass of a lot earlier they had the better part of the day, with reports of some good climbs. Back in the 15m class OG struggled to get up and, in after a good climb just short of the startline - ran us down. But it was risky going around - towards the second turnpoint we all ran wide to the right to get to some cloud in the sun - with varying results. OG was mostly below LG and I but having started 5 minutes behind us, it was good enough. Hats off for another 20 points.
PS i must say i think this is really tough training for the flying later in the year.
