Alex won on Saturday, shooting across goal with Christian and 20 year old German pilot Tim Grabowski in tow. I stood by Alex just as he was taking his helmet off. Tim came up and peeling his own helmet off as he shuffled to Alex still inside his harness, to Alex he said, "Danke! Danke! Danke!"

Hearing this, someone asked Alex if he had helped him. "No! No! Not at all," Alex replied. Apparently Tim was just enthusiastic about being able to keep up with and even ride the Alex/Christian train.

With the diameter of the speed goal being 2000m, the pilots pull up and disperse long before they cross the 400m diameter of the distance goal overhead. Alex, Christian, and Tim were so close together it was hard to tell who crossed first. Alex told me he had but that Christian had lead much of the race.

Currently Alex remains in first over all with Christian and Primoz close behind.

In the women's division, Corinna reached goal a full five minutes ahead of Kathleen. Carole even had a few seconds on Kathleen but they were so close that the points show them as tied for 2nd for the day.

Kathleen remains in first with Corinna and Carole in second and third over all.

On Saturday Primoz didn't cross the 400 meter cylinder and therefore had a twenty percent reduction in his speed score.
