Default Watching Sarah Go!

Sure wish I could have time to Watch Sarah Go! She's America's only pilot participating in the 9th FAI Women's World Gliding Championship taking place in Zbraslavice, Czech Republic. Today, she appears to be running quite well, AGAIN!

GO SARAH GO!

I know squat about contest rules, but she did land out on a previous day with no penalty. Today her landout was within the final calendar. Does that mean she'll be shy of distance points, but with a good finish? On the last leg, she broke away early from the second pack and just screamed for home. Hope the risk payed off.

Scores have been revised and Sarah did indeed finish, albeit with a small finish penalty (too low). Still in 3rd overall, 237 pts out of 1st. Pretty darned nice going.

best,

"It ain't over 'till it's over!" I have seen all sorts of crazy stuff
happen
on the last day or two of glider contests, especially WGC's... She's in a
good position right now, especially if others screw something up....
