A fun day flying in beautiful conditions, much better than yesterday's high winds. Another complex course, this time accommodating the C class gliders more after yesterdays slug fest into which caused a lot of grumbling, not to mention reserver tosses and tree landings. The course went up the ridge to Rabies Peak, back to Burnt, across to Woodrat again, over to Rabies again, then out to Jacksonville for a complex loop.
I was doing great until the leg back from Jacksonville to the Cemetary turnpoint. After tagging the Cemetary turnpoint, lift got harder to find, as is often the case when transitioning out into the valley. I didn't change gears to the slower pace required, so sank out in the long field on Poormans creek road with a bunch of other pilots.
39th out of 48 pilots today.
