Today was a good day. We started in 4th place and have finished in first place after the morning and probably will still be there after the afternoon.
The morning flight was another three part task with Fly in, Hesitation waltz and then fly on.
We got third place for the Fly in but a total of 986 points from the 1000 because it was close enough to the winning result. The last two tasks were average in terms of performance but fortunately better than those at the pointy end of the field, pushing us up to top spot with just under 200 points buffer to second place. Fourth place is not about 500 points behind so the gap is starting to form.
This afternoon was a Hare and Hounds task which was perfect for the light conditions. The hare balloon did a great job of making an achievable goal for the field and the results will show that with some luck. I am not sure where we stand exactly but again I am sure we did better than those we needed to better than.
We are off for dinner and lawn bowling tonight for a bit of a social event which will be a great way to unwind.
UPDATE: as of 9:55pm we are in first place still and have extended our lead to about 420 points. Going to sleep like a lamb ;-)
