With the airfield covered with snow, there was no chance for flying today and the day was officially "scrubbed". In gliding terms, this means "cancelled" or "bowling". However, with seven UK National pilots here, we decided to spend the day doing theory.
We all got together in Liz' tent and discussed "the process". Advanced gliding racing tends to be self taught and developed intuitively by individuals. There is no formal teaching or training process. So what we were aiming to do in formalize some of the thought and decision making processes and put structure around them so that 1. it can be taught and 2. we can practice it.
Decision making is at the heart of gliding racing and there will be a lot more on that later.
Top decision later on was to have a team pizza followed by late night shopping at Tesco.
