Третий день был самый лучший. Кромка аж до 3700, облачка, красотень. Поставили маршрут 150 км с возвращением в лагерь и с обязательным заземлением до 6 вечера, и мы погнали.
The third day was simply the best. Cloud base up to 3700 meters - amazing. They set a 150 kilometer circular task with the task deadline at 6 pm; and we started our race.

По пути на первый ппм, вид на долинку
On the way to the first turnpoint, overview of the valley
По пути на второй ппм. Горы прямо по курсу - самые красивые.
On the way to the second turnpoint, which is nearby those beautiful mountains ahead.
Летела я неожиданно неплохо. Только одно отклонение маршрута после второго ппм. Быстрее чем всегда летела, пока не заблудилась. Не могла найти 4й ппм (как потом оказалось, многие столкнулись с этой проблемой). Это капец. Уже и высоты не было пролететь сверху сразу напрямую. Сначала в первое ущелье заглянула - не там. Потом во второе - о, должно быть здесь. Летишь по стрелке, 4 км осталось, 3 км, 2 км - поднимаешь глаза - оппа - стенка - упераемся в гору, черт, ппм в следующей долине. А ты уже ниже, потоки фиг найдешь на теневой стороне. Короче, протормозила я там долго долго долго. Ну, успела долететь до финиша до 6 вечера, и то хорошо. 150 км! Вчерашний рекорд побит:)
I flew surprisingly not that bad. Only one detour after the second turnpoint. I flew faster than usual until I got lost. I couldn't find the fourth turnpoint (as it turned out later, lots of pilots had the same problem). Horrible. I didn't have enough altitude for flying above all those valleys and mountains straight to the turnpoint. I tried the first valley - wrong. Then I flew to the next valley - ok, it should be it. I was flying, looking at the GPS arrow, counting kilometers: four kilometers left, three, two - bang! The wall! Instead of the turnpoint I had the rocky mountain in front of me. Damn, the turnpoint in the next valley, when I am lower than the ridge on the shadow side. Not clever. So, I slowed down and spent plenty of time there. Good that I, at least, made goal before 6 pm. 150 kilometers! Yesterday's record got beaten:)
