103km goal and Rod gets stitched up.
I Set a 103km goal for the competition today. Great forcast and conditions with a NE wind and climbs to 3700m. Out of around 50 pilots some 30 made goal. Our outgoing group had a short flight before going to the Airport andRod, who stayed behind took of later to catch the better conditions. Unfortunately a sink cycle put him into the Chalets, and after getting dropped on the appoach he impacted his chin on a rock. He has been neatly stitched by the local doctor (Ramon, also a sailplane pilot), though will need some dental work for a lost filling tomorrow.
The next few days are looking like EPIC days.
