World championship to remember

11 day World championship was a competition that will be written in the history. The longest triangle tasks, no rest days and arguing abut rules for cancelled days. I was really unhappy as Primoz got zero points for the cancelled day, saving his ass in the CTR. But it is like it is and I can t do anything about that. In my eyes he is the best pilot in the World. With hard work and always reaching goal he climbed to 7th place overall.
I wasn t able to write my blog, since I was working from morning to the evening. I got very cranky, because everyone was flying and I was just working. On one triangular task I went flying in dragonfly with Steve. I appreciate that very much, but I want to have the control. For me that is the point of flying. Every morning I looked at my towing bridals being sad I can t use them again.

I was driving for American team. And I can only say good things about all of them. Great guys awesome pilots with big harts. I was very happy having them in goal so many times. Every time we went to eat healthy and good food. They tried hard to beat Italian team, but stayed on great second place overall. I am proud I was driving for such an awesome team.

At last competition day I was waiting in goal, screaming crazily when saw Primoz coming in with first five and right behind him Matjaz. I almost started to cry. It was such an intense moment. I am very proud of both.

I would like to congratulate to everyone that was competing at this Sparta competition. For me everyone, who can go flying everyday for around 5 hours and more, is a champion.

I missed the big party in Forbes, because I went flying in the morning. I tried the dragonfly. It is similar as flying my uncle John's plane. I guess he would like to fly this toy too.

After beautiful brunch and saying goodbye to almost everyone, Dave took Matjaz and me to the Conungra beach in Sydney.
Kathryn let us oversleep at her place and next day she borrowed me small FUN glider. We went flying Stanwell park. It started to rain, so we were waiting and waiting and finally when conditions looked good I launched. With the gloves, I just put them on because they were in the helmet, I couldn't undo the ladder of the harness that Curt Warren tandem teams land it to me. I went away from the cliff, tried to undo it there, but I just got low. I landed very nicely, great landing conditions in Stanwell, being furious because flying just five minutes. I packed my glider really fast, went back on the hill and flew for an hour and a half. Big thank to Matjaz, who was waiting me at the landing place.
We had a beer on the beach and after we went to uncontrolled hang gliding party that Curt Warren team organized. 

Forbes practise day/ Forbes zacetek tekmovanja

So, World competition has officially started. We had a nice parade from headquarters to the park. Primoz and Matjaz decided I should carry Slovenian flag for them. I really like the team uniforms they got for flying, but I will have to fly a lot more to get one too. Anyway, after a nice BBQ dinner I tried to catch my man on Skype, but I was very late and headquarters were already closing…. Next day we had a practice day. I was working on line; it is so easy now when there are so many crew people. Wind was enabling us to speed it up and get the pilots fly as soon as possible.

As American team said they don t need me for a driver I decided to go in the pool. I stayed in there for few hours. I know that because I almost didn’t t feel my skin anymore.

At the night I went out for dinner. I ordered fish and veggie, being surprised by the price and quality of the food. Maybe it is better I stay on the noodles and rice; it is way cheaper and better.

Today the competition starts, everyone is anxious about it including me. I hope I find my boys in goal.

Svtovno prvenstvo se je uradno zacelo z parado. Pridruzila sem se Primozu in Matjazu, ki sta me dolocila za zastavonoso.  Cela zadeva ni bila tako slavnostna kot  v Sigilu ampak okusna hrana je odtehtala zabavni program.

Naslednji dan smo imeli poizkusni dan. Vse skupaj se je odvijalo prepocasi. Nagajal nam je veter, zato smo morali linijo premikati. Upajmo da bo slo danes bolj gladko. Americani me niso rabili za voznika zato sem she sla ohladit na bazen. V bazenu sem ostala par ur. Ko sem prisla ven, skoraj nisem imela vec koze in cist zgubane blazinice na prsti. :) Za vecerjo sem sla ven, ker nisem hotela odkloniti povabila. Spet preplacala hrano. Zmrznjena riba in zelenjava 22dolarjev, da ne omenjam da ti je se postrezejo ne ampak jo moras it sam iskat k pultu. No bo ze, danes se zacne tekmovanje tako da ze vsi nestrpno cakamo. Drzim pesti da  sta Matjaz,  Primoz in moja ekipa v cilju.
