Day 5

Master tasksetter and all round superstar, Giorgio Galetto



Back to racing tasks again today with a 361kms task to Pescarasolla and North to Nocera Umbra. The day felt like it should have yielded some really fast speeds but very few people seemed to string it all together. The Empire team certainly seemed to struggle down near the first turn with a few low points on the ridges before we could get high enough to nip in and out of the turn. Going North was much better with a couple of very strong therms of 8kt average, with one peaking at 13.5kts on the vario average. Getting round the last two TP’s was surprisingly OK and I finished with a speed of 124kph. The LX9000 logger is doing funny things with the SD card download so it was a good job the Colibri 2 backup is working well. Man I would have been annoyed if I'd not scored for the day!

On tow for another fine day of racing
