Default looking for advice on lead n follow flights

I partially agree with Nick.

Flying contests is great for IMPROVING your XC skills. I don't think it is a good environment for LEARNING XC skills.

If you get in a contest with challenging conditions or intimidating terrain, I don't thing that is a great environment to take your first significant XC flights. Your first contest is pretty overwhelming anyway. Adding "cutting the apron strings" to that workload might be a step too far.
