3 consectutively worse starts yesterday. I had a slight advantage yesterday as the top 20 pilots were forced to take the second start. I decided the day was improving so I waited for one more start clock. However I ended up lower and farther downwind. It was 15 min after the last start clock that I really got going :\ So, I messed that up!
Most of the flight was survival mode, it took me 6 hrs 12 to get round the course, I was spent! I managed to dribble along downwind toward goal in 40feet per minute until I had 12:1, I got to got with 100m to spare.
I suspect I will be sore straight off the cart today.

Boy, that mentoring I've been giving you has really been paying off, eh, mate?
Thanks especially Chris, I try to listen but sometimes it doesn't stick. Looking forward to a refresher course :) Especially on the speed gliding.
