The Final Word?
Jake has already posted a summary of the results, and in addition I’d like to state my appreciation of all the hard work and sheer determination of the whole team, not just the race team, in Arkansas. There are plenty of people who contribute to making this happen, including all you contributors to our blog, and sending email support all week. It meant a lot to everyone, and I’m very glad we stayed safe, and raced well.
Despite the lack of sleep, frustrations of shipping, heat, sometimes dehydration, the team worked well, with everyone having fun, and racing hard together. Whenever anyone got a bit down, someone else was there to pick them up and dust them down. For me the teamwork award was a no brainer, but as we picked up so many others, I’m OK with that!
To the guys heading home – safe trip home! To the guys staying on for a few days – enjoy the USA, have a great time, stay safe, and look forward to seeing you when you get home.
We’ll have a “homecoming” event sometime in July when the boat is back, and we’ll let you all know when that is.
Many thanks to the folks in Arkansas – it is a great undiscovered place, and the people are brilliant. Wooo Pig Soooie!!!! (if you don’t know what that means – ask someone from the race team!).
