As a pilot, we returned from the task after 6:30, secured the glider,
downloaded files, took O2 bottles to be filled, removed batteries to
charge, installed covers, talked (briefly) with a few pilots, went to
dinner, went to motel, took a shower, answered email and went to bed
exhausted.

It is a long, exhausting, *day.

Yo Tom,

Been there, done that. I did my own "guerilla reports" from Standard
Class Nationals in Cordele two years ago. 15 minutes propped up with
a pillow in the cool air conditioning of the hotel. Point being, if
we put some effort into it, it's not a herculean task. Here's my
virtual report from Parowan, and I wasn't even the

"Once out on task, it was fairly easy to catch up with the early
starters. Great Cu and scattered markers allowed the fast guys to
really move. The 20kt tailwind didn't hurt. Ray Gimmey averaged
over (x MPH) on the first leg, with several others moving right
smartly. I heard several pilots report Xkt climbs at Ymountain.

The field seems to have split into two groups, with the fast folks
going deep into Turn 1. Man, the scenery was beatiful, with X
landmark to the east and Y to the west. Reality set in, however, as
we turned and headed back north...
