Killarney
Task 3 - Was cancelled with pilots on task.
Wow woke to another clear day with some overcast - with an average forecast the conditions looked good and a task was called with elapsed time. A race start would have been better as the task was cancled due to over development.
It was a fun day and not too difficult to get away as I climbed out 2 min after launch. With a low base it was difficult to get to the next climb. The cloud was closing off the exits leaving most to pay around in the valley. Me and Loyd pushed between two clouds before it closed off the exit on big ears and bar making it low at the first turn point. Shortly after we drifted in the climb again to base. The wind had picked up and again we had to push head-wind to find our next climb. At the top I found little wind.
It was a difficult day and on approach to the last two points I realized that I was leading out with Meredith and Andrew in the lead gaggle. We all started to race to the large cloud developing on task. At first we got magic lift and in the middle we got over 8m up a second. The field was spread out and at the same time all the pilots began to spiral down. After a few deep spirals I noticed my viro was beeping in accentL ! Not to nice under a overdeveloped cell. With a few others we kept big ears’s on and glided 90deg off the line until we got out of the area. Before the task was called we tried to slip around but it just blocked off the route.
Task 4 - Gear Malfunction
Made a simple mistake and missed the first turn point… Fuck. Only got scored to the first point.... I crossed over the next task line and my GPS gave me the green light to go and get the second point before I entered the 400m circle. So always use both GPS units to take the stupid factor out!
