The day started strange. When my friend Evi helped me to take the glider to take off, she slipped and could not walk anymore. Luckily Florian took her piggy back, I got the tape on and ice, but it didn´t really get better. Konrad carried her back up to the cable car. It was a good idea, as it turned out that it wasn´t a ripped legament, but a fractured ankle! Yes, not flying can be dangerous!
Considering it was the last day and award ceremony tonight, the task seemed huge, as the thermals didn´t exactly turn on fast. I had a good start, but after the first turnpoint I hit a major headwind. Again. I tried a different course and could almost catch up with the front gaggle, but got badly stuck at Seiser Alm.
I tried all I could to at least get back out to goal directly, but it didn´t work, and the safest I could do was to land at St Kassian, Alex´ home.
Retrieve took a while. Only 5 in goal, all Italians. The top was shuffled again, with Christian Ciech winning the comp, Alex 2nd and Karl Reichegger 3rd.
I finished 15th overall, 3rd best German pilot and first woman, a really good result, considering that 4 of the 5 top female pilots of the world were here to compete!
