US Paragliding Competition - Team Blog

Description

Excerpted from the website:

I’m back home now but wish I was still racing. I miss that place! When we started task 5, I didn’t think anyone was going anywhere due to the low cloud base and tiny amounts of lift. I also figured there would be many pilots with nothing to loose who would take off in a blazing race and show the rest of the non-committed pilots where it was happening. I followed fairly close behind the lead pilots but then wished I had left with the lead. As we went on course, the lift was getting better. There certainly were spots of risk but overall it was heaven compared to the launch area. The pilots in the lead were racing full speed. I thought it was great and wish the other days would have been more like that. I was playing it safe and staying high between areas of lift because there were still pilots landing out on course beneath us and I didn’t want to ruin a good day. The plan worked well and I didn’t need to pull off any low saves. It ended up being one of the best days because of the work that went in to staying aloft and timing the areas where one would push the speed bar. Many pilots made goal on that task and the anticipation of curiosity over the final scores was incredible. Upon finding out that I was to be the first American to make the podium in the history of this event, I couldn’t help but think……It’s not just me. It’s all of the supporters too! They helped make this possible. I think we need a bigger podium!
