Today it was a shorter task because of chance of over development which can cause rainshower or thunderstorm.
After the start I was getting lower and lower and I went to the South-fish-landingfield.
While going there, Arne was there too. He found a thermal and I went into the same thermal. Lucky me !
And also climbing this thermal up was really good. I flew steep, hard, I cored it !!
I was back on cloudbase, even trying to avoid the get sucked into the clouds.
I was right on time for the first startgate and went together with everyone on glide over the ridges West of the Chabre for 20km. This was really easy, since I could glide on and on, only pushing out and descrease speed when I was in a thermal.
After TP1 I went back to the Chabre, but I also had to make a de-tour, since I otherwise would have been sucked into the clouds.
After the Chabre I went to the Genis. I first wanted to get on the Ajour at once, but this was not smart.
On the Genis I found a great thermal and I was back at cloudbase. Others joined me in this thermal, but I was on top all the time. Towards the Ajour there was a lot of sink, but I was high enough to get to TP2, the Ajour.
Just before the turnpoint I found a small thermal that drifted me into the turnpoint, those are easy made ones !!
A little bit to the West a big group was thermaling really steep. I could step into this thermal allmost on the top.
After a few turns I went on glide, over TP3 and heading to goal.
It was a bit excited on final glide, since the height was dropping. But at a moment I knew I would make it… yesss !
While landing, it looked like landing on Schiphol, because we were all in the same path landing.
I was also pretty fast, since only 15 to 20 gliders were on goal.
I did this task in 1:31 hour, which is really fast for me.

I am really happy about this last task for now, heading back home tomorrow.
These two weeks also 2 times and goal, longest flight, heighest distance, heighest average task speed… unbelievable !
My learning curve becoming a better XC pilot was pretty steep these two weeks. I wonder what this would bring for the future !
