Got caught on launch, queued behind PG and HG for 1 hour.
Climbed to 2400m then crossed, got in on the rim with Conrad and Matt Senior
Conrad bombed on the rim Matt and I scratched out.
Decided to fly to Mansfield taking a good run reaching 3000m, pulled away from Mat on the way.
At Mansfield good lift made me decide to try a triangle to Withrow then perhaps onto Farmers. Got a bad sink line and pulled away to the west after 10kms, reclimbed where Matt rejoined. I was going to fly straight back to goal but Matt was keen to make the Withrow triangle. He pushed out towards Withrow whilst my climb consolidated back up to 3000m. I watched Matt until he took a climb then joined him for the flight to Withrow then back to Goal.

Brett Yeates, Canadian, had been slightly behind us and took a good line from Mansfield to Farmer and then back to the LZzzzzz. Ho took the day with a better triangle.
Lessons
Be ready to launch, do not get caught in the queue
Watch for climbs on the rim more closely
Leave a bad line with enough height to make a save
Don't get spooked by a bad line, there is always another better line
