What a result!

Well, what a final day! I went into the day 50 points behind Mario Schupfer (AUSTRIA) who has flown a brilliantly consistent competition. Mike, Brendan and I knew that with Mario's advantageous glider handicap (3 points) all he had to do was follow me round the sky to win. So we decided at any cost to become invisible prior to the start. Straight after climbing from aerotow, Mike and I snuck off to the west 25 km and hid behind some clounds. Meanwhile, Brendan stayed with Mario and called his movements to us. When Brendan said that Mario was starting for a second time, we made our move to the start line and began 20 minutes after him. Brendan let us know from in front where Mario was turning, and how strong, so we knew how hard to fly. Poor Mike missed a climb partway round and didn't make it home, but in the end, a brillian team effort got me over the line 13km/h faster than Mario, and it was enough! Thanks guys - you (and the crew) can take equal credit for the result.
