Today was a long day 5:52 on task and landed at 20:09 for 117 km/hr over 692 km. I made it home, but was very slow as I had to take some 1 kt and less climbs at the end to get on final glide. It is better to get home slowly than not at all, but I would have been happier with fast.
The one low spot that shows at 18:20 on the barograph was the result of going left when I should have gone right. I was with a gaggle, and one glider and I went left and the rest went right. Those who went right found a thermal that we missed and that got them home 17 minutes sooner. That was a costly decision!
