The field are thoroughly frustrated with the task setting style not understanding why we cannot make use of the ridge before setting out to turn-points in the flats.
As a result, the task was stopped, yet again, today and the minimum distance not reached. Points were as low as everyone's moral and I had overheard some pilots had considered leaving the competition through frustration.
My own performance was not worth mentioning so I have awarded myself another Joker card (there are usually 2 in a pack!).
A very long walk out of almost 2 hours, cross-wind carrying 27kilos. Tough. The buses were mopping up pilots all over the flats.
For goodness sake, let someone give us have a decent task tomorrow not involving any pushing bar into strong winds. Two petitions are circulating at present, one of them regarding task setting criteria, we'll see what happens tomorrow.
