Default Cross country record: personal shortest flight

Those short flights are not always a short retrive.
On my first contest I
went through the start gate and 'lawn darted' into
a valley just short of a
runway. The flight lasted about 15 minutes and 10 miles
but it took 14
hours to get me home. You'd think I would have learned
something from
that. Nooooo.

And scored 1 point.
