US Nationals Big Spring, Tx.

Needless to say I am pretty tired with all this flying. Today I was hoping it would be an easy task. Nope! 97 mile triangle. Got out on the first tow and worked to get high to go out on course. Finally got to 9k and left. The first leg wasn't too bad. I hit the first turn point and turned directly in to the wind to the second turn point. That's when it got tough. heading into a fairly strong head wind climbing in ratty lift was wearing me out. I took a few climbs and told myself if I didn't find a good climb I was going to deck it. Little did I know there wasn't any lift in the area and 4 of use went down within a mile of each other.




Flights 1  Duration 2:23  Distance 46 miles  Alt. 10045
