The team are currently at Lake Keepit for Squad Week. The schedule is very full with morning discussions, a task briefing, a competition task, a debrief and an evening discussion.
The Australian pilots who will be competing in Argentinian next January are also here training.

Early in the week we were joined by Helen and Holly from TMS consulting who facilitated discussions on a range of topics such as arousal, fatigue and managing stress.

The week started on Monday with mass outlandings and some late night retrieves for both teams. Tuesday was more successful with everyone home for tea and a debrief.
Today we had a lot of cirrus over us, with some blue holes. We also had channel 7 TV here filming and interviewing pilots. We gridded and launched Adam Woolley as a sniffer, but when he called 2kts in an empty Cirrus and then joined circuit the day was cancelled and we retired to the briefing room to discuss Start and Finish tactics.
Tonight we had a “nuts and bolts” logistics session to sort out accommodation, entries, insurance, uniforms etc.
Tomorrow is looking good so there should be a task.
