Oopsie…
Charged hard today. Took the last start gate with the top guys (Rohan, Ricky and Jonny). We caught many of the guys that started in the start gate in front by the first turn point. Barnsie and a few other good guys were still in front so we continued to charge on.
I got slow and Jonny managed to lose me on the way to Mt Mohammed. Adam Parer was real low at this point but managed a great save just before reaching the mountain. I joined him as we flew down the length of the Jim Broken Range at cloud base to the second turn point.
Still making great time to this point I joined the tail end of the gaggle in front just after the TP. I found a great core to take me back to base which gave me glide to the next TP.
A gaggle was turning only a km or so past the TP. Because the wind would be blowing us in the right direction for the next leg I pushed on low to join the gaggle.
Much to my dismay, and not at all to plan, the gaggle dispersed as I approached. The lift was gone. I searched the hills to the left of course to no avail and landed 10km short of goal.
All my hard work at the start, pulling out a fast time around the track all amounted to nothing. I didn’t make goal so no speed points for me. Oopsie
Barnsie remained in front of me the whole time and made it in in good time. Dave, after having a pretty arerage start also managed to make it in. Atleast two Dusty’s make in it to wave the flag at goal. Nice work guys, keep it up!
