Saturday morning, we all rushed to the race site to register our teams. We had to be there by 8am the latest, and our first race was around 10am. We were all nervous, since it's our first outrigger race. Surprisingly we did really well. Our Team A came in first and Team B came 2nd for the Men's novice. And yours truly was of course in Team A :) We won gold and silver for that division. We also raced the Open Men's division and came in 4th and 6th respectively. To be honest, I didn't expect much from us, since we only practiced for about a month and a half, but with what we've accomplished, I was more than just satisfied.
Saturday night, we celebrated. We went to eat at the Rio seafood buffet, where I almost died from eating too much. Then we walked the strip and gambled. On Sunday was check out time, where we had to say goodbye to our room, were we shared with 7 guys. Before we left, we had to go back to the race site one last time to receive our awards. We were all tired on the drive back. Everyone was knocked out in the car, except for the driver of course. It was a short, but really fun weekend. Everyone enjoyed it, and they can't wait until our next trip/race. Here are some pictures from the event. Enjoy!
