Blown away.

The task today was a 240km dog leg.  The forecast was uncertain due to the location of the trough line.  Some pilots had concerns with forecast winds of 50-70km/hr winds.  I took a tow behind the trike today and couldn't stay in position behind it.  The tow line went slack several times and I was amazed I never broke the weak link.  I was dumped off in sink and got drilled all the way to the ground.  Second tow was a little easier but still couldn't connect with any good lift.  I hit some strong surges but the lift was blown apart and very hard to track.  I landed near the edge of the start circle in 30km/hr winds which turned out to be less than those that landed further down course.  Would have been better to take a rest day today.
