Urgh

Long day, hot weather, nothing to eat etc etc.

Had a good draw in the early afternoon, but 33 laps in the other pilots had mishaps on takeoff putting me into a redraw.

So, late this afternoon I flew my heat with an Italian and a Swedish team, but only put down a 3:12. Personally, I was hoping for a little more than that, but the tune was undercomped and we had to wait for landing models to clear our segment before release.

However, Trev & Steve put in a solid 3:30 with room for improvement, while Fitz and Mellins came through in a reflight to record a 3:07.

So, at the end of day we have 2 Aussi teams in the semis, at P3 and P7, surrounded by various Russians, Ukrainians, and Frenchmen.

Kram/Chayka put in a 3:01 too, with a few bad restarts, though the race was largely two-up.

Anyways, I'm up with the French and the Poms tomorrow, which should be good.
