First task at Nordic Open

Today we flew the first task at Nordic Open in Vågå, Norway. It was 66 kilometers long over four turnpoints with take off from Juvass, approx 1600 meters over sea level. It was really cold, with snow on many places and skiing just a kilometer away. And we had lots of wind.

As this was my first competition flight ever I did not have high expectations. That was good. I had lots of fun but only made it through the start cylinder and the first turnpoint before getting drilled to the ground after 13 kilometers and 55 minutes. Then I spent lots of time with a Norwegian pilot before we were picked up.

Luckily, lots of other pilots flew better and many made it to goal. No results are out yet but it seems that Larsa Johnson made it into goal as first Swede and third in total, with Fredrik Lindholm coming in fourth - well done! Probably two Norwegians (one of them Ronny Helgesen) took first and second.
Soon there should be results here.
