Pulpiteer Competitors!
I have data from Dan T., John D., Bacil, Hank, and Carlos on Saturday. If anyone else flew XC on Saturday--or on Sunday--let me know so I can tabulate results. Tell me if you had previously flown more than 25 miles, and tell me what category you're in:
HG Team
HG Individual
PG Team
PG Individual
Read the rules from the Pilot Package regarding mileage calculation.
Finally, if you're a H2 or P2, tell me your longest duration flight of the weekend.

Pulpit Competition
Hi Dave,
I like Linda's strategy so here goes:
H2 - Treemendous Tallywhackers - Duration - 1:30
Saturday was my first flight at the Pulpit and it was extremely fun! I
flew the glass off but it was the punchiest glass off air I've ever been
in. It was the first time my glider has been turned 180 degrees by
turbulence. No worries, I was far enough from the ridge that it was
just cool. It was very different than the air I've flown in at Ridgely.
I can't wait to do it again!
Big thanks to Sparky for observing me, and for recommending that I take
a morning sled to the secondary. It decreased the stress later in the
day to already have a launch under my belt and to know that I could get
my Falcon into the secondary if I had to. I almost did as conditions
were shutting down and I was getting tired. When I got to the primary I
saw three other gliders in various stages of landing so I stayed on the
ridge for one more pass. I was in sink halfway to the secondary but
knew I could land there if I had to so no stress. By the time I got to
the secondary I was back at ridge level so I headed south and found the
airspace above the primary to be empty. I went out and landed with a
nice fast approach into what had become a calm field. I reviewed my log
and found that 1:30 is my longest hang gliding flight ever!
Great flight, great weather, great weekend, great friends. What more
can you ask for!

Finally, if you're a H2 or P2, tell me your longest duration flight of
the weekend.
>>>Couple of additions to what David wrote.
H2/P2:
Due to an oversight in my prep of the pilot package for Christy, I left
out a description of how a 2's flights count toward a team score. For
every 10 minutes of duration a 2 flies up to an hour, the team is given
credit for 1 mile of XC distance (so that's a maximum of 6 miles).
Others:
Remember if you did a ridge run to report your distance. You will have
had to traverse beyond the launch to the North or the LZ to the South
for that mileage to count. In other words, a straight shot to the LZ
does not give you credit in this XC competition.
Everyone:
Sorry about after-the-fact updates. If you have any issues with the
format, please feel free to raise them in your offer to volunteer for
the position of comp director next year.
Thanks to David for compiling all of the data!
Cheers,
Daniel
