"Racing paragliders is fun This was the final day of competition in Macedonia and Im happy to report I didnt fly like a complete pleb. This was my first proper comp and I had an absolute blast. Its a humbling experience feeling like a total beginner again. Took most of the week to find my rhythm but I loved the challenge and learned loads. Its a seriously technical side of the sport that takes years to get even half decent at but Im hooked. Definitely not my last comp. Looking forward to the next one and seeing how much I can improve. #paragliding #racing #macedonia"
