Anyway day 2 of competition started with a misty warm up
It is quite cold here like autumn in the UK, only warmer as the sun comes out (picture from Monet Smith Photography who have been taking some excellent shots!)
Individual sword was up first and i had a point to prove after a seriously iffy day 1 performance. I managed to finish 5th overall, but as usual when the pressure was on i accidently reached on a peg and missed.
Oranges were up next and again a shocking performance from me let the points score down, but fortunately the others did well for some high individual places and scores on the door for GB.
I have to mention at this point i was feeling fairly sick as i have been fighting an indonesian gastro bug since being here.... One day the team will be sponsored by immodium!!
So just indian file to run where i bucked up my ideas and GB just missed out on silver by 2 points to Iraq which was rather gutting, but we are in the medals!
Evening was rewarding by a steak followed by a rather long bar session which is onsite, and explains the lack of blog!!
Never ever get in drinking competitions with South Africans as they will beat you with experience. On the plus side we got lots of tips from the SA coach before the shots started, unfortunately the springbok shooters taste good so slip down easily (creme de menthe topped with amarula cream).
Fortunately as i was still under the weather i did not really partake so was a lot perkier than other team members emerging on the rest day!
So today we went to the lion park and saw lots of animals including the lions, tigers, chimps and caracals.
The rest of the day was spent at the waterfront in cape town, which is stunning in the backdrop to table mountain
Tonight we analyzed videos of the teams performance and plan to use what we have learned from this in the final two team events, which are tomorrow
Better sign off at 0630 start tomorrow!
