Athlon

Thursday Morning

Good morning and welcome to the event of the year: the multi-discipline relay race known locally as The Athlon.

The weather started fair this morning, but as the athletes gathered at the various start points the cloud descended. 

The race started with a team of runners who ran about a half-mile and then handed over to a team of water carriers, who must carry a tube of water filled with water over the long course...
... Some did this more successfully than others!

They then handed over to the two-man blindfolded kayak team  ... 
... One sighted person gave instructions whilst the blindfolded one paddled: Tess' useful navigation instructions such as "no! This way!" might eventually find their way into the new generation of TomTom.

The kayakists eventually found the pontoon and  handed over to the swim team ... Who thrashed the water to a foam.

... Now back to the dining room for a bowl of hot porridge!
