Good training day. Task was a 3 hour TAT- 02Finish --> Jolamtra --> Grand Canyon --> Towanda --> 02Finish. Conditions were challenging; we lost the cool advection from yesterday and most of the thermals were torn up pretty good. The lift band was diverging; it got stronger with altitude. I had the bad luck of being generally on the lower side and struggled to keep up.

Later the day overdeveloped due to the lack of an inversion. This made the leg from Grand Canyon to Towanda more challenging. Team flying worked out very well to get us up and away from that hole.

Good practice and off to tomorrow!

Thanks Aero Club Albatross and Harris Hill Soaring Corporation for letting us use their club gliders toward training for the Junior Worlds.
