Who doesn't love working out in sand?

Today was Summer Crush Games held at Magic City Casino. We arrived at 6:30AM for registration and didn't leave until around 10PM. It was a loooooonnnnnng day. I feel mostly good about my performance. I didn't write down all my times and on the website for the competition, they only have the final overall placement of the athletes. If I can track down what my times were - I will update these.

It was a super long day and I have a major waddle. According to the online scores posted, I finished in 5th place. The scoring system they used wasn't announced ahead of time, but might have meant a slightly different strategy. I think I'm used to the scoring system based on rank points, but for this comp they added up all your times and the fastest total won. The venue was really neat and it's always fun to get to hang with a big group of people just as crazy as you are. It was my first comp without Jonathan, but Danielle and Chris took good care of me. Had a great time in Miami ... will have to visit again!
