Sport Class - Day 1

Today we had our first training day with the "initial" Sport Class pilots batch  and it went pretty well!

We did a huge effort to make it up the hill as early as possible and, despite the several "first day issues" we were up there by 9:45 and were able to begin with our Clinic going through basic concepts for the 9 pilots who joined us today. Among these pilots we have 3 guys who are quite new and have never entered a comp before; it is a great opportunity for us to introduce them to the competition world  and help them as much as possible.

After the different presentations and questions, they went to set the gliders up while we prepared the task (32km over 5 turnpoints). They flew for around 2 hours and tried their best, some made it and some didn't, but they all enjoyed the day!

In the evening, while Pedro and Rudy were working with them, another four pilots arrived, which means we will have 13 Sport Class pilots flying!

Some pictures, including the map and task board:








Today was definitely a great start for our comp and we hope it will only get better!

For tomorrow, the first thing in our agenda is a delicious typical Mexican Style breakfast at the "Chile Mole POZOLE" restaurant at Plaza Valle!
