Àger Open 2011 1st task - a big fat success :))))

A 49km task today with lots of happy smiley pilots landing in the sunshine at Vilamitjana. Provisionally the task was won by Laurie Genovese  with Daniela Hofer 2nd and Paty Garcia Leytona 3rd.

The 32 pilots competing all launched with 15 minutes of window open and reported level 1 conditions throughout the course.
The task started at Agullo then a zig-zag in the valley from the gorge and back to Àger before jumping over the back into the Tremp flatlands.
Our World Cup wind-dummies, Pepe & Philippe were given strict  instructions to NOT lead-out, NOT to show where the thermals were and NOT to arrive in goal first! Fortunately for them they behaved themselves ( for once ;-) ) and can avoid getting their assess kicked by the girls! ;-)


We had no incidents and lots of competition newcomers in goal - the 1st comp and goal on the 1st day is always a good feeling! :-)


GPS's are being downloaded now ... more later
