Don't run in heals, it is not fun

Blue Tornado is over for the time being. We deserved to reign victorious but they did not want to admit it so supposedly we lost.
This is not possible. Red team won 4-0 but lost in the final round because of despicable judges. We lost in points by over all by only 6 points (1917 us to1923 them) to the team that won in the final round, but this is the kicker, we lost 2 out of the 4 rounds. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? The first trial we lost by only 20 points out of more than 400 and in the next trial we lost by only 7 points! The kicker for that trial is that the other team was supposedly novice.
I was very proud of my team however, because although I doubted us at one time, in the end we all worked together and did our best as a team. Apparently our best wasn't good enough for the biased judges but who freakin' cares what they think right!?! I shivered, I sweated, I was nervous and I felt sick to my stomach all at different periods during the day. However, I can officially say we kicked some royal butt and had fun doing it! I am glad it is over though. Very glad. Four out of the seven people on our team received an individual award and I was very happy for that. I would just like to say that I think we are winners even though they did not award us with the first place trophy.
Basically the whole day was bogus but in the end it was still about the fluff not the stuff and I believe we did our best. We can't apologize for doing our best.
After the initial shock of not winning (that story to come at a later date) we went out to eat as some southwestern restrant I cannot pronounce much less spell. The food was good and the company was better. It was fun to let loose after being so tense all day. After we ate we went and walked the bridge, freezing our tails off all the way. I hope we got some good pictures. I know they will be good memorizes.
It is time to go to bed now. I have been up approximately 19 and half hours today.
I am tired and I want to go to bed, but first I must take this evil goop off my face.
