Sportavia - Day 6

The task today was a 165km dogleg with plenty of clouds to fly. The first leg was down wind 89km which only took an hour. I found Kraig Coomber about halfway there and stuck with him - he was severely out climbing me but I was making up for it on glide. After the first turn point we did about 20km and found a nice big blue hole - we hung out for a while waiting for it to cycle up again and ended up getting low and just going for it. I decked it after about 10km and Kraig pulled it off getting a low (very low) climb. This was the first task in sportavia where I actually got to fly with someone...and not be alone. Kraig was a good person to learn from.

After we got our team picked up we met in a small town for a pizza party (it was Australian Day) and then had a swim in the river before heading back to tocumwal. Jack Simmons recommeded the swim and it was a GREAT suggestion; the river was cold and felt great. Jack and I piled in the back of his sweet camper van, our driver Mark did his job, and I put my headphones on and had a pretty amazing sunset ride back home.
