Task 2 of Chelan XC

Finally we were able to have another task after lots of swimming,football,wiffle ball and beer drinking while watching the wind howl. We had a 65 k task up the Okinogan valley to the city of Okinogan. It was looking grim at the start with lots of wind and very little lift, I didnt think we would make goal at first and on our first glide we got a really low like 200 feet off then we hit a ripper the first good thermal of the day and not the last. I was in a position to take the day about 3/4 of the way through the task at 9,000 feet and sitting over the field but decided to wait for the group and it cost me I ended up getting 10th wich I am still happy with and it jumped me 14 spots from 22 to 8th so now I am shooting for a top 5 finish, today the wind is back so we will only have one more task for this comp ;( or I would have the oppurtunity to jump more spots, thats usually how I roll is climb my way up the rankings, but we need tasks for this strategy. You can find results here. http://chelanxcopen.com/results.htm After this I will be home for more than 2 days which I am pretty excited about. I will get to spend some time with my freinds and family, See you soon!!
