day 5

just 1 more day till the rest day, were hanging for it, i've racked up 20hrs and 400km in 5 days and everyone is starting to drag. heavy head cold for me today so early to bed. big one today, 114km out to some pretty far reaching terrain. i fell 16km short so a bit bummed with my 4 1/2 hrs and 98km. maybe 40 or 50 in goal today so sorted out the field a bit, a 30km head wind back to the mesa plateau hammered us. lots in the trees today. feeling better about my flying tho, slow the first couple of days but today i kept with the lead gaggle for 85km which in this field i'm chuffed with, headwind then scattered us to the wind, litterally and half of the top ten didn't make goal either so will shake things up a bit. rough day for the aussies and kiwis today with none in goal, hard day tho i must admit. finding it very hard to crack the top half of the field. we'll keep on at it tho.
now for sleep, sweet sleep. gav
