Pre-worlds Day One

Today was the first day of the 2006 pre-world hang gliding championships and the weather was great! I had a bad start but raced hard and ended up making goal with a good time. 78 miles is 2 hours 6 minutes and some change. Because of my awful start I flew most of the task alone, which forced me to make my own decisions; some paid-off as I managed to pass groups of thermaling gliders all along the coarse line. I usually screw up the first day of a comp but things worked out today.
