Task 1 is running as we speak, and Felipe at 95 km seems to be in the 2nd Gaggle - go Felipe. Ivan's last live tracking point (see piedrahita2011.com) is at 45km out, I think he's on the ground, Geoff seems to have gotten washed off the pass at 31 km out (known Piedrahita difficulty #2 - sinking air behind the pass for several kms) and yours truly sunk out right at the start, scratching all the way to the ground (known Piedrahita difficulty #1 - it is after all a North facing, shallow slope, and I can verify that this is not conducive to thermal formation). It was windy on launch, but not as bad as yesterday. Good luck to those still on course. And for myself, I guess I'll be well rested for a new day tomorrow.
