flight computer ergonomics and function

For thermal XC if your computer is telling you to fly at 60kts then you're
probably flying dry and have MacCready set pretty low. So no you won't get
anywhere.
You need to climb faster and set MacCready higher

The wind only affects the rate of climb you need to make progress, speed to
fly between climbs is determined by "normal" MacCready

Flying Ridges or Wave, or final gliding to a fixed point, is a different
ball game
