Rolling the dice...

Well, we thought it was going to be a good old Darling Downs style racing day today - and it was - but only if you started early enough. Mike and I decided on a late start with the theory that we should be able to bounce all the stragglers and catch the better gaggles - but after a ripping start we got caught out by an early finish to the conditions, and struggled around the final turnpoint where all the others had still been racing. Pretty much our worst result for the comp - even though it was probably our best day's pair flying! Just one tactical misjudgment on start time had a massive affect on the result. Still, there are 3 days left for us to pull some dignity out of the bag!

I know you are going to go hard in those three days and you'll probably score well, but I wouldn't worry too much about your dignity, that is in the "bag"

Don't be too hard on yourselves... you're already doing the best you can. Take care, fly well and good luck. All the best for the next few days. Aussie Aussie Aussie! A&B
