Pots, shots and sore botts!
It’s been a day of intense competition today as we launched the inaugural Invergarry Lodge Alternative Triathlon.
During the first day of competition the boys went head to head at archery in the garden where I took an early lead on points and Ben (the young competitor from Yorkshire) was penalised some of the bonus points he earned fixing the hostel computer when he broke two of the arrows.
The second event of the day, admittedly a little unconventional for a triathlon, was pottery. Anna and Jen went head to head on the hostel’s new pottery wheel, it looked close to me but I’m told Anna snatched victory with her wee dish but Jen was definitely hot on her heels…
Third event of the day was Mountain Biking which consisted of a quick (ish) 7.5 mile loop around the forest, up the forest roads and down the narrow waymarked trails with a quick stop to collect some chanterelles to go on our homemade pizzas – the food of champions!
After a couple of recounts over some delicious post competition pizzas, the final results are in….everyone’s a winner at Invergarry Lodge!
