antje cracks the ton !!!

big big pat on the back for miss daehler, she just cracked a 114km goal for a distance PB and her first 100km flight, superb. first aussie into goal too, followed by myself and james. nice day, good clouds and 3700m base. freakin cold at altitude tho, the wind chill had to be about minus 5. 70 something in goal i hear. great task tho, big climbs, superb flying.

yesterday was interesting, easy task after our rest days, supposedly, but with 4 nappy chucks, 3 mid airs and 3 tree landings and a final glide across the lake made for a memorable day. i felt edgy about a 9to1 glide across the pond but made it in with 100m. one select serbian came in late and cleared the bank by 1m, landed tail just over the edge to a huge roar, a windsurfer had to put down to avoid him, awesome stuff.
