Both Jerzy and Dave hit some slow spots on task that cost them speed. When he landed, Jerzy's comment was, I am ready to give up flying!
In 15m the winning speed was 114.24 kph. Dave came in at 95.28 kph which got him 30th place with 728 points, according to the preliminary scoring.
In 18m the winning speed was 123.97 kph. Jerzy's speed of 110.92 was only good for 28th place and 811 points, according to the preliminary scoring for the day.
Overall, Dave moved up from 31st into 24th place in 15m, on the heels of Katrin Senne. Unfortunately Jerzy dropped from an excellent 5th to 10th place in 18m, just ahead of Doug Jacobs and Riccardo Brigliadory.

Hi Joerg:
Please tell Jerzy and Dave that they are doing very well, even with the odd slow spot. We all know that these things can happen to anyone. Look at Steven Raimond today and other top pilots. Now is the time to stay optimistic and push ahead, perhaps when others are getting discouraged.
