A bit of a tough day, not just for the Aussies but for nearly everyone. Weather forecast was for "better than yesterday.." We ended up doing the whole flight under heavy cirrus cover, with thunderstorms approaching from the west; the best climb I had was 3kts, most were under 1kt.
Only about 20 or so gliders out of a fleet of 150 managed to complete the task. I staggered around about 245km, David not quite as far.
Disappointing not to get round the task. It probably puts a podium finish out of reach unless something weird happens. But who knows with the weather we are experiencing at this competition?

Oh Graham! Anything can happen with points... keep flying the best you can. We still have hope for you. If there's anything we've learned, it's to hang in there with good solid days until the very last. Good luck for today. Aussie Aussie Aussie!
