After Chavert and i both bombed out on the first day, we had some catch up to do. We used the third (and last) race for this. It was a 55 km task and conditions were very poor at the beginning. Initialy the idea was to race but because of poor conditions it became an elapsed time start. We both directly pushed forewards and were in the leading gaggle for almost all the way. thermals got better and better and inversion rased to 3200 meters. We came in third and fifth. In endranking chavert climbed from place 25 to 11 and i climbed up t 4th overall and third in x-class.
The whole competition was really great organized and we had lots of laughs. Subscription for The Chabre open was full in less then 8 hours. The popularity of these recreational comps is still growing.
So , well be back next year :-)
Chavert, Hans
