This past Saturday, Felix and I had our first serious competition archery. It is the first of 4 races to which we will go this year with the club in Leganés, and is part of the junior league of the regional federation Archery (FMTA). What are a blue tide of people? Of the 30 newcomers who competed, 16 were in Leganes.
Despite announcing a mega-extratropical cyclone to the very day and hour of the race (Saturday at 3 pm) at the end the thing was only a few showers that fell on our heads and some fierce winds in some of the runs. So anything that we had not practiced in the past ... Come on, that what might have been, the weather was pretty. The place where we competed, the sports Puerta de Hierro in Madrid, has facilities that are amazing. That itself is not pleasant walk through artificial grass for puddles and if you do not wear good boots ... and even so, that was not so bad on Saturday.
Chuck went very well both Felix (who has finally found himself in archery: P) like me, I finally did score very respectable and was 5 th in the classification general (and first in the classification of girls, although in our class did not separate women from men) with a not inconsiderable 644 points (301 to 343 to 30m and 18m). Come on, I was happier than a lark:)
Of course, on Sunday we were busted, and it was the nerves of the competition (that was!). But as he did a beautiful day as we approach Butarque to throw a few arrows, lest we forget how.
The next race (2nd in the league), 20 March ... And if nothing remedy, 27 we point to the Championship University of Madrid, where there are also novice category. And report back! At the moment I leave here some pictures of the event. Shortly, and will edit the post to get photos at higher resolution, because at the moment are very low resolution.
In any case, the club's Web , there is a whole series of more photos.
