I'm first to cross the finish line in the Icarus Trophy!

16/10/2015

 
I finally finished the Icarus trophy today and I'm stoked to be the FIRST one across the finish line. Thank you so much to everyone for your well wishes and words of encouragement.

Some stats:
I've travelled well over 1000km in under 2.5 days
Spent up to 9.5 hours in the saddle in a day flying.
Gone as high as 10,000ft and skimmed as low as tree trimming height.
Been neck and neck with fellow Aussie competitor David Wainwright and only beat him to the finish line by 4 minutes!!
Zero mechanical failures or problems.

I had one hell of an amazing adventure with too many aching muscles to count! Now it's party time and a massive thank you to everyone involved, helped support me (Teddi especially!) and continued to send me their well wishes while I was in the air. Even though I could read them it was a little difficult to reply with PPG T-Rex arms.

2 More Days Till Launch

10/10/2015

 
Only two more days now til launch and I can't wait! Weather has been terrible and very little flying happening pure race thus far. I'm hoping for a break in the wind and fog on Sunday to get up for a pre race blitz and to take a look at stunning Mt Ranier from the sky. Monday morning USA time is the official start.

You can follow me live with my tracker from that time on using this link.
