For those who flew Sunday, it will be a day we'll still be talking
about over beers this winter. Cloud bases to 6,700 feet, thermals of
500 fpm and some long distances flown. Many times I'd be startled by
flying into corn leaves at 5000 feet. Swept up off the harvested
fields, they were marking thermals for us instead of hawks! I bet not
anyone in the whole world knows there could be corn leaves at 5000
feet except glider pilots. Cool. Ron had a great flight of 231 miles
at 56 mph to win the day (It was the 5th longest flight in the world
based on OLC reports for Sunday!) Your scorer also had a good
high-speed flight, although not as long, at 50 mph, thanks to staying
high and one nice long glide on course. Simpson had a good flight
that would have been a great flight if he hadn't encountered a gravity
storm over Converse. Once away though, he managed a remarkable 32
mile straight glide before crossing the finish line. Terry Wools had
a tough time for the first half of his task, but came on stronger with
two long glides in the second half.

The overall standings changed slightly. With Taylor finally getting
his fourth flight on the board, he moved up to 4th place overall and
put Team 8UP into 3rd place. There are three weekends left in the
contest, so who knows where this will end up. See you at the field.
