The tasks on the first day is 834 Km for 15 meter and 1012 Km for open. I
guess that will get the attention of the participants ;-)

The results:

In Open Class all but three pilots made it (1 K, that is!) and also all the
three not completing the task flew over 900 K.


From (poor) memory, I seem to recall stories of two previous 1K tasks
during competitions (I believe one was in the US, and one possibly in
Australia?). Details are hazy, but I think the number of finishers in
each case was in the very low single digit range. Nothing like 17
finishers.

Leaves you wondering - what are the tasksetters going to do now if the
weather turns really good? :-)
