We are one week already in Uvalde.

I did four practice flights, most of them in very challenging conditions in the blue. I had the opportunity to compare the performance of my glider to others and it seems that there is no difference.

There are very strong teams flying in our class with the Australians and South Africans very well trained in Uvalde-like weather. The Poles and Germans are very well prepared and will definitely be working hard to be on the podium.

The last several days were very hot, reaching records temperatures for the region. We expect to have very good weather for a week but then there is the  risk of a hurricane reaching the Gulf of Mexico, which can influence very negatively the contest area.

We finished the practice period with a Pre-Contest party with Texan food and music.
