Nordic Open – Game over – New harness 3- Myself 0
General No Comments »Hoy manga de 82km con dos balizas en el valle y una en la ciudad de Covilha antes de un tramo en el llano. despego perfectamente , me voy a remontar a la primera termica delante del despegue y me vuelve a pasar lo mismo..super incomodo en la silla, sin casi la posibilidad de girar la termica de lo mal incorpordado que estaba y de lo poco que sentia la vela..unica solucion, ir a aterrizar y volver pa casa para no rayarme mas de la cuenta. No he conseguido volar ninguna manga en esta compe..una cosa increible.. la primera vez que me pasa algo asi en 8 anos de competiciones; vay error mas gordo que he hecho al cambiar de equipo con lo bien que iba y con motivacion y confianza a tope…la silla esta en venta por si acaso hay algun interesado..tiene 4 vuelos y es el modelo mas nuevo de la Genie Race 2. Estoy hundido…
Today an 82 km tasks with two waypoints in the valley, one above the city of Covilha before a long stretch in the flatlands…I took off early and nicely but again the same (in spite of the further adjustments made yesterday..) happened ..I felt extremely uncomfortable in the air and after a few turns of the thermal in front of the take off, I was left without any options but to go and land and go back home (two tasks could still be flown). this is the first time something like this happens to me in 8 years of competitions…I did not manage to fly a single task..something unconceivable…and especially as I came here very motivated and super keen after the good result in the Spanish Open and the very good flights and feeling with the R11…..The new harness is for sale (GIn Genie Race 2 ..the latest model if interested, size S) – I am really gutted.. Getting to goal today (from the reports I had) was very difficult with only a few pilots getting around 20km from the finish line….well done to who flew the farthest today (Possibly Micheal Bass from Australia with his UP two liner) and to the awesome meet director Mads who is now in the lead..good luck for the remaining two days..
