Condor

August 10th, 2007

Last night’s task seemed pretty straight forward. With ridges to follow on all legs we all knew it was going to be quick. I packed plenty of water for the trip but alas not enough super glue to hold the wings on when the flutter kicked in:(

Lenny also met a similar fate. Chesters and Speedy are still walking out of the alps after pushing hard and getting very low.

That just left Andrew to finish the race in style. I managed to take line honours but it was nowhere near enough to make up the 200 point penalty.

Another fun race.
