Two Days, two good tasks.
With a forecast of cloudbase at 1800 meters, the highest yet in the 10 days that I´ve been here, the task committe called a 62.4 km task.
78 made goal.
Norman Lausch of Germany was first with a time of 1:54.
For the US team, three pilots made goal, Eric Reed, Len Szafaryn, and Cherie Silvera.
Eric was 18th for the day, only 4 minutes behind Norman.
Len was 43rd, 8 minutes out of first, and Cherie was 70th with a time of 2:05:55.
That´s right less than 13 minutes between first place and 70th place. Talk about gaggle flying.
It was quite impressive to see the gaggles move across the landscape and to the goal.

Kari and Josh did what would normally be considered reasonably well, had there not been 78 pilots in goal.
Kari was about 7 km short of goal and Josh was about 9km.

I´ll try to post a few photos on the paragliding forum website in the favorite flight photo catagory. (This may take a day or two as our internet connection is a bit slow and cumbersome.
