Day 7. Last task before mandatory rest day, so it was made just 98kms around the valley. Yet another day of Californian weather, no clouds, but fairly strong thermals. It was supposed to be fast and easy/boring task, and mostly was so until the end. I took bad start, being lower than everybody 150m, and could not quite catch up with leaders during the course, but this possibly prevented me from getting screwed on final glide: many leaders got stuck in ESS area polishing ground in zeros and landing there. I saw that and slowed down and took all climbs available on the way, there was strong sink in between as well. Came to goal way higher than necessary, I probably lost couple of minutes in climbing, but taking into account 33pilots landing after ESS line, loosing over 400pts, my loss of maybe 20-30pts doesn't look as bad. As I already have two bad discards, I don't quite have right for mistake. Anyway, it was interesting task in the end and something to learn.
