Wil's Task 2

Yesterday was super unstable, clouds were popping off at dawn. Forecasts were calling for a more stable day, but Valle De Bravo is somehow impervious to outside weather.

I launched about thirty five minutes before the start, my usual time, and had another good start. The route was shorter but more technical, the start was about five K from launch so it was a bit of a cross country flight just to start the race. The second turn point took us out into the flats then the third was back to davis (DA VEEZ). from there the course line took us over the plateu and along a convergence line. I was able to glide 6 K and only lost 100 meters. It was cloud surfing at it's best. I ended up coming into goal 26th which put my overall placing at 25.

Wil's Task 3

Today was another different day, much higher pressure but I made it to about 11,500 feet, the highest I've gotton here. More wind today also. There was high cirrus coming in quickly so the task was shorter then the other two, 64 K. I had an amazing start, but it's difficult to keep up with new comp gliders... I held back several times today when I should have pushed, but my job this competition is to make sure that I'm in goal. I was pretty slow but I made it again. There was at least fifty pilots in goal today and I was probably in the high thirties. Dad's been killin it. I'll try to get him to blog something.

Gotta get my laundry and it's definitely time for food. Hope the cold snap breaks soon up there. It's been awhile since I've been up there, but i'll never forget what negitive temperatures fell like.
