PWC Switzerland: task 1

A short 38k task was called in an attempt to get pilots around the course before the approaching weather front moved into the area. Predicted foehn winds had pilots nervous on launch but were not that strong on course, a little turbulent at times but not too bad. The racing was fast and furious, soaring in tight to big cliffs, at times if you stopped to thermal you only lost places as people would just fly straight and pass you. The last two turnpoints and goal were located in Interlaken, many pilots got stuck there in the weak conditions. Michael Von Wachter wins the day, American Matt Dadam kicks ass placing 10th, I think I might be in the top 20. Scores should be posted soon. I will try to post a better task report later.
