Day 3 in Sri Lanka: race prep! 🛺⚡
Today was our last day before the tournament starts. We picked up our team flag in Colombo, added (lots) more decorations to the tuk tuk, and had a go at the barrel challenge. Alan drove around three barrels while I hung out of the side grabbing and dropping bottles. We managed 26 seconds; the winners did 19!
The best bit was our taxi driver, Harsha. It was his very first day on the job, he'd studied business management at university in the UK, and he's now back home setting up his own transport business. What a lovely man.
Then a swim, route planning and packing. We hit the road today!
