Day 1, US 18m Nationals Nephi, Utah

105 mph and I was still 5th! It was a good day, a reasonable task call for the SSA GOBs, albeit very short as usual. Strong crosswinds on landing created some minor excitement. I could have gone much faster but got stuck trying to max out the second turn area. No big deal. Overall a really fun day in which I was very conservative and relaxed, as planned. Tomorrow looks iffy due to an even higher chance of thunderstorms.

SSA website seems to require SSA membership to view the results webpages. What a mess. Promoting soaring to only those willing to pay for membership? I just don’t care anymore.

Grid, 35 or so 18m gliders plus 30 or so competing in regionals.
