World Champs. I got a medal too.
Posted by: Claire
I've been on the road for 6 weeks and I'm exhausted. It reflected in my Worlds performance. My race was extremely average. I finished 14th and was hugely dissapointed. But hey thats ok because I quickly recieved a medal at the little outdoor kiosk bar in the pits after attempting to drown my sorrows. Maria, the bar tender and my new best friend made me one out of a bottle cap and told me I'm still a winner!
Then the Boxxer World Champs happened. It was action packed. Every year I help design the trophy or award. This year I drew a big pizza on the rainbow stripes jersey. In the state I was in, that was all I could think of that was typically Italian. Some pepperoni and some crust. There were lots of friends lurking. Brendan and Kyle, the Riffles. Rennie was cracking me up, not just because of his new hair do but because he was absolutely obsessed with Matti Dupelle winning. They are old buddies. We squeezed Matti into my Canadian National Team jersey and Nathan arranged his tools for him neatly and so that they weren't touching and proceeded to coach him with positive talk in whispers over his shoulder as he rebuilt his boxxer. It was a classic! But Dawson took the victory, probably because he could handle the booze best and I got this AMAZING shot of him post win.
Now I'm going home. Bout time.
