Exactly!


Just did another 96. Just before that, I had a good one going, but
accidently hit the "go fast" button and screwed up a thermal.

If you can make the first line of hills in 18-19, you have a good
chance to go under 95 because you hit things right along the rest of
the route. That, of course, takes a lucky first leg.
That last 96, I had 21 min. at the first hills.

I too wish I had flight logs from this!


I can pretty consistently get the first set of hills at 20 minutes, and
the third set of hills at 60 minutes, which seems to typically be a good
set up for the two thermals to the 4th set of hills. although sometimes
those thermals are really tough to line up.

Just had a 97 minute finish, my best ever.
