Official Practice Day 1 - MS and 2W

Today was the first official practice day, for Sergei and I it was also the first taste of world level competition soaring.  The start gaggles were pretty orderly but neither of us is used to the head games of leaving and coming back.  We decided to leave on course as soon as we had a good position rather than wait for the pack.  We considered sticking around and waiting but with the forecast thunderstorms we elected to go early.  The fast guys were a little more patient and left 10 to 30 minutes after us.  The day was quite good but had some large dead zones to cross, this made us a little cautions (read slow) and deviated too much.

Today's scores are available on soaring spot, here is the direct link to the 15m class Practice Day 1.
