Well I'm *finally* back!
Rúmil: finally is right! What a day!
Hey! It's not *my* fault I missed the plane! I had the wrong details!
Rúmil: I know but MANCHESTER?!
It was that or hang around the airport for 36 hours! Besides, we're back now.
Rúmil: Ok, lets just forget about it.
Indeed.
Anyway, what the people really want to know is how the comp went.
Rúmil: So tell them!
I'm trying to!
OK, so Saturday went pretty well, despite disastrous sighters (which don't score anyway) a couple of the guys there offered me a few pointers and when it was over, I'd managed to grab 3rd place in my category! (Ladies recurve)
Sunday wasn't quite so good, the 70 meters was fine, but for some reason I struggled at 60 and 50 meters. I picked up again at 30 meters and pulled my score up a bit, but it wasn't enough and I scraped in at 5th.
Monday was the field shoot, mostly for fun, though it did score. You should have seen the places they put the targets! It was - interesting!
Monday evening we had the presentation dinner. This is where I got the shock of my life. Somehow I’d scored well enough to come in at 2nd place overall in my category!
I got a *trophy!*
Really not sure how I managed it - but YAY!!!
Rúmil: And you were worried...
I *still* think Sunday left a lot to be desired.
Rúmil: Stop putting yourself down! You did good! *Hugs Tux*
Awww....
