we had a successful day with the distance flights. most of them were wins and a lot of legs ahead of the competition. Matthias had a great run in round 7 with 32legs. The most in the whole week including Pre-contest.

For the Foo fraction it is definitely nice to not fly against Jens for a change.

Another great flight was group 2 in round 7 with Erick Venegas flying 23 legs against sub 10 legs of the three competitors. He flew as only pilot on the southern side in a good thermal.It was great from a spectator point of view but of course a bitter pill for the other pilots.

Temperatures got quite high already yesterday, but today everybody was feeling the full effects. some things were missed, some of them led to bad results like Steffens speed time. We just did not check and correct the sighting device before the flight which led to the turning error on base A in Speed.

To counter these effects, most of us joined the official helpers and had a relaxing bath in a nearby lake. This makes such a huge difference and is highly recommend!

Tomorrow we will fly the last duration and final Speed in oposite order of the ranking.

The lunch break is over. We continued the duration of round 7 in difficult conditions. A lot of relaunches after several minutes of flight. The results will be interesting. Matthias unfortunately had his second bad duration flight. Steffen Theo and Andreas made it. Jens is currently flying.
