Got in at midnight last night. I'll post details later.
So, they called the longest task in comp history, 236 miles. I didn't see the wx that we might be able to make that. We had an alternate task of 150 miles. The wx wasn't shaping up for the big task sgot o they call the 150 miler. Towed up about 12th or 15th and got nothing. the early guys up and out. then a bunch struggled. and the group i was in we all found nothing. I landed back at the field along with many others. I got back in line and launched 2nd to last. I got dropped off in a great thermal and got up to 8k and took off on course. Had some great climbs and hit 11k a few times. Unfortunately since I took off so late the day was getting weaker. My last glide was 13 miles. I landed and broke down and waited for my retrieve. I didn't know it but our driver got lost picking up Roger and I had to wait for an hour and a half. Luckily the land owner came out and invited me to his house for a beer. I didn't make goal but back to back 100 milers isn't bad.
