Yesterday we had another epic day at Hochfelln.
142 FAI with Pinzgauer Spaziergang
Submitted by Corina Schwiege... on Sun, 05/11/2008 - 05:06.142 FAI with Pinzgauer Spaziergang - I felt I was a bit tired after two days with 14 flying hours and 400 kms. Yet it looked good again, so Peter and I went to Hochfelln to try again. I was incredibly lucky that Gundram wanted to have some training and carried my glider up to take off - I had to save energy for the flight.
and... 218 kms!

I just wish it was easier to documentate for a world record, as it would have been a new women´s world record for FAI triangles ;)
Today the easterly is predicted to strengthen, so I will be more careful. But lets see- the Pinzgauer Spaziergang worked incredibly yesterday, it is highly addictive.
How to cure jet lag...
Submitted by Corina Schwiege... on Sun, 05/11/2008 - 04:50.How to cure jet lag... - After the Austrian nationals, we arrived in Munich late at night, got up at 6 the next morning because I had to go to Frankfurt for work. The flight to Tokyo was about 11 hours, then we had 22 hours in the city before going back early next morning. I arrived wednesday evening in Munich and already knew it had been a big day for xc, cloud streets everywhere. And sure, the 200 and 300+km flights were posted in the evening.

http://corinnaflies.blogspot.com/ Oh and yes, if you are reading this Mr. Oz Report, we had a northerly wind and quite a bit of rough air sometimes. I have complained about how uncomfortable it is to fly in this wonderful spot when the wind blows out of the north.
