Race to the finish!
Post from Sabitchen: For those of you who did not hear how the competition ended here it is, and it was pretty exiting! Denny Mallett & I led most of the comp. On our final trip to Big T it was a low trip. I left Lances at about 3550 first & Denny left 100ft lower & later than me. I arrived to Big T first followed by Denny, I stopped in a weak one at Middle T & Denny kept on going into no mans land way in front of BIG T. Later he told me that he didnt even think that he would sink out & then said (I dont sink out!). But unfortunatly he did as I watched him get lower & lower, then disappear, then I noticed 2 gliders that sunk out from the first run to Big T, I was thinking (son of a !@$%*&%), but slowly got back up from the weak one at Middle T.
I got to Big T & climbed to about 3,700 at this piont I saw a flex wing at Little T low & very slowly get up the lift that was getting weaker. I went towards Little T to go home & got down to 3,400 I figured the glider that was low was still here from the first run so I stayed to get a little higher to go the final turn point at East Trash. Up to this point I had only had to stop in about 7 thermals & was going full blast the whole way but it was getting late & the man at the thermal valve was shutting it of for the day.
Then I noticed that the guy that was at Big T was getting up & came towards me, it was the Rob Beerges, he flew over head by 150ft going home, at that point I realized that this might be his second run to Big T, so I left Little T at 3,400 we arrive East Lances at the same time 200ft below the top seeing Lances at a whole different perspective, we are both right up against the hill Rob is in a Atos & mountain sandwich barelly squeeking by the knob at West Lances the looking down & thinking Hungary Joes property is huge from this altitude, this is where I pull on the speed to pass Rob, he then gets behind me & tries to pass me on the left but does not.
I tag East trash & win the day. Good job Rob that finish was awesome!
Here's some audio from the salvagable audio we recorded when the "JAMMING" wasn't going on too much.
