GOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! 107 K'S!!!!!!!!!!!

I will make this post short and sweet. Today was the first day of the 2010 Canadian Nationals. The task was to fly from Golden to Invermere with a total distance of 107 kilometers.

I found a climb off launch right away and did my best to deal with the rough conditions along the way. I didn't really get low until the last 20 kilometers which I really wasn't sure if I could make. I basically ended up having to ridge soar part of it and take really lame climbs, but it paid off!

I am so excited and happy. I had a personal best, I made goal, and I had my highest altitude flight of 4200 meters!

There are about 45 competitors in the Nats and I think around 20 made goal.


I've been waiting for this day for a couple years now and it feels great!

I'm gonna sleep well tonight! :)
