First 60.5 km long task is finished! 

Although the task was a bit tricky, there were 15 pilots in goal.
Yassen Savov ( BUL ) was 1st with time 2'21''26, 2nd was Stefan Wyss ( CH ) with time 2'28''05 and 3rd Aljaz Valic ( SLN ) with time 2'41''07.
In our HQ, Chris is testing a new feature which will continue to develop - as the pilots return to base and do their download, there is a display screen at www.fastretrieve.com/download which will show the instant position of each pilot relative to those who have downloaded already. But that is before any scoring has been applied and does not take account of leadout points or arrival points so the position can still change. We must say it's quite interesting! 
Ulric is going to be realy busy with downloading and we have to start thinking about a new task.
