Jen gets her name on some silverware

The 3 Valley Rally

As a seasonnaire, if you thought your only challenge of doing a season was trying to make a fried breakfast for 10 guests while still nursing a monster hangover without pucking all over the scrambled eggs, you were soooo wrong.

Enter the 3 valley rally, a no holds barred scavenger hunt type team race across the 3 valleys. It’s low on rules and morals but high on fun. Typically this takes place at the end of March and requires teams of 4 people (including at least two females and a snowboarder). This is the first hurdle as suitable women and snowboarders are always in short supply. (rather like my life). The second main hurdle goes by the name of Jennifer Clare. Again a mite unfair for singling out this spunky scot. Perhaps the second hurdle should be a selection of ultra-competitive teams who will do almost anything to end the day with the trophy in hand.

The final hurdle is of course…. me. As the organiser it’s up me to unleash my sadistic twisted mind in order to slow the teams down. In the form of forfeits/tasks/alcohol and my personal favourite, misinformation.

Anyway before I continue monologue-ing like a bond villain, this year, for the first time, we will have a proper trophy (which will have the winners name engraved on), as well as the usual home made effort (which the winner gets to keep), presented to the winners in honour of the team captain who has given new meaning to the art of rubbed the defeat into the noses of all her vanquished opponents over the last four years. The full title, and boy is it a long one, of the trophy will stay secret and will be announced nearer to the event.

Here is a list of winners over the past decade. As you can see most of the ultra competitive teams get very complacent just in naming their teams.
