US Paragliding Nationals, Chelan 2019

Not much flying for me last 2 years, so my goal was to get out and flew as much as I can and competitions, especially Chelan is perfect for this. I stopped and flew Herd Peak near Shasta Mt. on my way there.

We had 5 tasks out of 7 days, 124 pilots participated, overall I took 76th place. Results are here. I made goal twice in the first and last tasks, not great for the score, but overall I was satisfied with ~25 hours of airtime. Competition level was definitely higher than last time I flew in Chelan, more pilots was making goal and faster too. In the Sport class 12 pilots had better results than me on the D wing.
