Team Challenge Task 4

Weather doesn't look so hot from launch on this day. The wind is strong and crossing from the left (north) and the windsock really likes to dance. I think someone slipped that nylon bag some crack cause it was twitching like a spaz. We waited to launch till late again hoping for some clouds but none were heading our way. Blue day blues. I found the air off launch to be rough, broken, and very challenging. The best I could get was a thousand over launch with really difficult conditions down low. Every few minutes a viscous shear would pull me hard behind the ridge and the conditions, although very soarable, were way too much for a fun comp. I went out to the church LZ and landed. Most of the pilots on launch broke down after an announcement was made to drop the scores for the day. Some pilots hung out and slipped in some flights during the late glass off.
