After a bit of a late start thanks to long lines and running out of gas for the boat on the way out, we finally got out on the water only to find that there was ZERO wind. We bobbed around for awhile, rafting up with the Swiss, Spanish, and Turkish teams to hang out and eat lunch. After sitting out there for hours, they finally canceled all races for the day at 2pm and we headed back in. Kind of a disappointing way to end the week, but this means that we finished 19th overall, which is really amazing. Our goal was to be top 20 and we accomplished it, so we are really really happy with how the week turned out!
We're currently hanging out in the International Club, waiting for the Swiss to do their food tasting for the rest of the teams-- Raclette! We plan on meeting up with all the other international teams tonight for one last opportunity to hang out before everyone heads their separate ways tomorrow. It's been an incredible week and, as always, it's going to be hard to head home.
Tomorrow we are heading back to Paris for one last night, and then we have an early flight Sunday morning back to the States!
Thanks again to everyone who helped us make it here....especially EDHEC and the international organizers (Simon and Deborah have been absolutely incredible and we couldn't have survived without them!), GG+A, and AnyArt for their support and contributions to the team. We are so appreciative!
Here's to a great 43e Course Croisiere EDHEC, and to the UCLA team who makes the journey next year to carry on the tradition :)
