Yes Leon I think it would have been a fair bit slower if they had flown the full distance.

Well done Muzza, well done all.
What are the overall returns like ??

As you say, could have been a very different race if they'd gone the full distance, must be very frustrating for those who's birds are more suited to go that little bit further !!
Haveing said that I know Jelle Jellema is a distance man, I've actually got one of his family in my loft.
Not directly from him of course, she came into me as a youngster last year (2023). She had a couple of races as a baby, unfortunately this year she came home from her first outing with her throat all torn open, our club chairman stitched her up for me and remarkably she made a full recovery and even managed the last couple of short races.
