A Little Bit of Hypoxia. Santa Cruz Flats Race 2011, Task 6

This video shows the last thermal and final glide from task 6 of the 2011 Santa Cruz Flats Race. I reached 13000 ft MSL and very suddenly felt ill from Hypoxia (starting at 1:13 in the video). The remainder of the video shows my slow recovery and 31 mile glide to goal.

How do you take off in one of those???
If you fly often enough at altitude, you'll get used to it. It took me about a year, but about 13000 is the highest I can go before I start to feel happy and sleepy, if you know what I mean.
Awesome flying!

@glendeco yes he is

The obvious solution is a pressurized fairing. Given that the symptoms could be euphoric or nausea, sorry to see you getting the less fun one.

You are a pilot sir. Great job!

Another awesome in-flight video. I can not get over the amount of room inside that pod.

@heroineworshipper
Everyone starts at 2000' AGL (3400MSL). My lowest point on this flight was 700 AGL (2000MSL).
