So i had a day off from blogging for our rest day. The team explored Delhi and discovered that by using the metro we could travel quicker and cheaper than via vehicle. We visited various shopping places and raced tuk tuks around Delhi and finished with dinner back in the hotel.
Today started with the pairs class, we paired myself and Sarah and Michael and Rachel, matching the speed of the horses.
Unfortunately i muffed up the sword, and only picked up one peg, so our chances were blown. Rachel and Michael got a full house first run, but got too excited and couldn't manage a repeat on the small ones.
India took Gold, Oman Silver and Sudan Bronze in the pairs.
Individual lance followed and it was again a knock out round, requiring 10 points to get into round B. Myself, Rachel and Michael all progressed to round B, which was a good result for the British.
it was the Grand Regency again for lunch, this time we also took carrots from the salad to give to the horses as treats, as polos and apples are refused by the Indian horses, but carrots are good.
Round B was a late start and delayed further due to the timing equipment playing up. So its been a long day, again the GB team did well, but did not achieve perfection so unfortunately not in the medals today. Sudan dominated taking Gold and Silver with India taking the bronze.
