Silver!

We are currently at a sports pub not far from the race venue. IIn a very Dr. Chen-like fashion, they opened up at 4:30 for us instead of the usual 6 p.m.

Closing ceremonies are complete and we are enjoying some beer and foozball...and a SILVER medal in the 2000m race!!! We were the ONLY team on the 2000m course out of 12 teams with a woman tiller...Steph! She was awesome and steered her first 2000m ever at the World Championships...wow! We're very happy with the results and the times were close, very close.

We can't wait to share our experiences with you all...did we mention the dragonflies yet? They are beautiful and EVERYWHERE!

We're so grateful to have had this opportunity, so happy to represent the USA & Wasabi here. Some banners will be coming back to decorate the boathouse...of course...we know our jobs here!

See you soon...we're back Tuesday.
