The Vaal Triathlon is traditionally the last competition
in the HTL. I am not sure for how many years this competition has
been held, but it is more than 15 years in a row. Why Triathlon?
The competitor is tested in three areas: Duration, precision landing
and air reading. The scoring is done with a sawtooth table. On the
even minutes, 2,4,6,8,10 you get more points than the following uneven minutes 3,5,7,9. Makes things real interesting as you have
to plan 3 minutes ahead. The landing score is 200 for a spot landing. This
competition have a way of amplifying your mistakes. This is a team competition
and each team may consist of up to 4 members.
This year it is scheduled for the 20th November and hope to see
you there.
