The first day of the comp yesterday (Sunday) and a task was set for 78km. It’s looking like its going to be great weather for the week so hopefully some longer tasks will eventuate.
Once again Trent is away (I never seem to see him as soon as spring/summer arrives) and I have the job of posting results.
The Canberra guys did very well yesterday with Nath leading the way ahead in his first ever goal for comps and finished a well deserved 4th place (a great effort!). Next in goal was Pete in 5th position and Trent in 7th position.
Dave had an awesome flight also making his first goal. This is a great achievement for his second ever comp. Well done Dave! I can’t give you his place as the wrong tracklog was used and it is reported wrong in the list but Trent informs me that this will get fixed shortly.
While we are talking on first evers, Grant in his first ever comp had a great flight and kept up with his motto of never landing in the same paddock in which you took off in (unless of course the goal is the same place as launch). It was the longest (in hours) cross country flight he has had and there’s no stopping him now.
If the boys continue with these great results and the tasks keep coming up as out and return which I am told by Trent was also the second day (109km), then I might have to consider driving for them next year so I can relax instead of driving the long distances at Forbes!
Results for day 1 can be found at the following website (subject to change when Dave’s results are fixed up)
UPDATE ON DAY 2: Trent made goal again today (109km) but I am yet to find out the results for the rest of the guys. Will keep you posted tonight.
