Bruce and Brad did well. David and I got together and started last, 10 minutes or so behind the winners. A low point just after the first turn slowed us down, then we had to go around a storm before heading off into a not quite “right” sky. As the task was 692km fixed, the day was long and we got slowed down at the end and we lost a couple of places overall. At least we beat all the gaggle we had been with up to the last turn. We landed at nearly 8pm after thinking 7pm till half way around the flight! The Trotters went through the 15k finish ring below min finish height so scored as outlanding – and then actually outlanded (rather than fly home) to avoid a penalty for landing after sunset! A hard day.
