It wasn't my favourite task either, and probably indeed the worst I've flown this year.
But, to say that it is unfair, or takes way too much time, I don't agree.
The task was as fair as can be as only static lift was usuable, everybody had the same opportunity.
Too much time, no way. It would take about 1:30hr to climb to 5000m I think.
Quite long yes, but with that altitude the task only took 1 hour or so.
If I wasn't so stupid to look for better wave I'd probably started earlier and higher than I did.
But no, as it was allready too late I chose to start anyways and try to become best of the rest and defend my position this month.
Look at it this way, there was a max start altitude (5000m)
Nomatter how slow you flew you'd always get 672p, so because the task was not 'good' the scoring will refund the loss.
Just funny to see people were allready worrying about their score during the task.
And it seems that people can lose the fun if they lose the idea that they can win.
Because the task was different people found an excuse to give up, (that's how I look at some of the comments, not all)
So, tasksetter, nice idea. It was worth a try as else we'd be stuck in the same tasks forever.
But don't do this anymore ; )
Congratulations to the winner, and everybody else that was satisfied with their result.
I can laugh about it, spend as much time as the winner, but didn't got that high.
So basicly I made one more mistake than the winner, wether that's before or after start doesn't matter.
SeeYou next Sunday!
Think positive, flaps negative.
