Hey, everyone! I just want to say that, despite worrying about this trip for weeks on end before it happened, I cannot express how greatful I am for the opportunity. This trip with my incredible team mates is a precious experience I will never forget.
This morning's walk in a downpour with thunder and lightning and little frogs hopping everywhere was amazing! The entire racing experience has been simply awesome.
The comoraderie between teams...from all over the world was something to remember for sure. I feel so proud of my team, not only for paddling like badasses, but also for the way we represented our country with friendship, smiles everywhere we went and just plain ole heart, spirit and good will. The other teams seemed to not quite know what to think of us at first, but by today they all wanted Wasabi Gang Green t-shirts! Everywhere you looked this afternoon, it was a sea of wasabi shirts, just like at home! A couple of other teams even raced in our shirts today!
OK, that's all for now...
XOXO

It's been great waaking up each morning and catching the latest up date on Team WGG. You have certainly made an impact - remember to announce that the metal detedtors will go off but there's a reason for it. Then, flash your bronze and silver and if that is not enough - show a leg! Have a safe trip home.
