Tell me about it! Same for us the last two years.

Some of the Silver Distance flights are downwind dashes from wave rather
than a thermal XC, but I'm not sure of the ratio.

What I said applies solely to the way things work where I fly, which is a
flatland club. I'm not remotely intending what I said to be taken as
generalisation and realise that it often doesn't work that way when you're
not situated in the midst of flat, fairly landable country with suitable
glider fields or airfields 50-70 km away.
