Dragon Boating in St. Ives - July 16, 2006

Sunday was a smoking hot day of 34degrees. And we had to boat the river three times. Representing the new school, 14 teachers and 2 'civilians' that we picked up to fill out the team, our day started out at 1000hrs and lasted until 1700hrs. We came out slow, got a little faster, and then pooped the bed in our third race. Because of it, we finished 9th and out of the top 6 by 2 or so seconds. 2 or so seconds prevented us from making the semi finals. It was devistating. The day only got worse as the beer tent ran out of cold, tapped beer and they began selling hot canned beer.

Only two more teaching days. Paper airplane lessons!!!! Then, it's three days of moving as we shuffle the departments around for the new school. Yippee.
