All have launched. The boys have both started (Andy 1252, Johno 1256) on a 348km speed task. Cloudbase 5700' at the start. The finishes are across the lake today so I am charging the camera and clearing the card. Hopefully some photo's in the morning.

Congratulations Nathan - 3rd overall! Congrats also to the organisers and especially the web site organiser(s) - the web site was very informative and kept very up-to-date - almost felt like we were there watching the action live. Good job to Andrew, Mike and Julie too. Submitted By: Grant J

This is exciting stuff - edge of the seat & dangerous after a bottle of red with good friends! We're watching the times come in with no more than 10 minutres delay. Good stuiff from the comp organisers. Doing some back of the hand calcs and it's looking OK for Nathan at this stage! Go Andrew / Nathan !!!! Submitted By: Grant J

Hey guys, great effort over there - keep it up no matter what the weather brings. It's inspiring for us, too, at Rieti, to see you doing well. We've got 3 days left of practice before our comp starts, so keep giving us inspiration! Submitted By: Allan Barnes

Nathan and Andrew - Looks like a lot of superscratch weather there, you are really doing great in trying conditions. Hope you get a boomer to show everyone what Aussies can really do! I'm enjoying the pictures and the blogs. Keep looking and keep it safe. Submitted By: John Welsh
