Area Tetrathlon
Emily Colling flew the flag for the Mid Devon at the Area Tetrathlon competition last weekend. The shoot and swim phases were held at the Dawlish leisure centre and the running & cross country ride at Bicton.
Former club member and Olympic hopeful, Gorgs Geikie, had recently given the Club’s tetrathletes a coaching session and this was obviously a great success with Emily shooting a wonderful PB score of 940. This was the second best score in her class, only beaten by a girl from the Banwell who hit a maximum ten bulls out of ten.
With just one stop over Bicton’s daunting X-C course, Emily did really well to finish in seventh place in the Novice Junior Class.
