Finally I have some time to report.
My luck has gone away... Just before the first task my primary gps died. Thanks to Itay, for giving me his backup.
First task:
I'm on goal, but almost the last one. Right after the start cylinder I've lost the main gagle. As a result after couple km's
found myself stucked above the small ridge on 100m altitude and 30 km/h wind with couple of other pilots.
Somehow managed to escape from there, thinking all the time that in case of any collapse the first thing I would do is throuh the reserve.
Anyway, managed to rich the goal on my own.













 Second task:
Perfect air start, stayed with the main gagle till the first waypoint. Just a little misstake lead me to the ground with another pilots.
Italian pilot who landed near me was very depressed, just couldn't realise how this happend to him.
Camila is crying... poor girl :(
First rule is - stay high.


Third task:
So you're telling your luck has gone away? Not yet... wait a sec. Now it's gone! 
Fuck! Somehow I've broke the gps screen (the one that Itay gave me) during the takeoff. So only able to hear it when I go up. 
Used my Garmin to navigate on the task. Me and Itay on goal. Victor tried to be with leaders and left the last termal without gaining 
enogth altitude, so landed 2-3 km before the goal.
