US 15M Nationals

-----

I arrived with my crew/wife Maria in Mifflin PA three days before
contest to have opportunity to fly ridges. We had excellent ridge
weather today and I did 1073km Out and Return flight with average speed
149km/h. I declared turn point Tazwell airport instead Tazwell N and I
was forced to leave ridge and use thermals to claim turn point, on
return thunderstorm cut way back and I had to wait 5 minutes until
storm and rain passed. There was a lot of turbulence and in some course
sections wind was up to 50km/h
Total OLC distance was over 1250km
