Today was awesome. We started the day off with a scenic drive to northern Washington. We got an excellent view of several mountains and the Snohomish River. Then we went river rafting down class 4 rapids. We had three great guides who got us all down the river safely, and made sure we had a blast. The water temperature was 35 degrees and this was their first run of the season. At a few points our guide, Craig, had us spinning down the river like a top. Because it is early in the season, the water level is low, which makes it a slightly slower but much more technical trip. It was hard and required a lot of teamwork, but it was an amazing experience.
After this we had a few hours of downtime, where several of us went walking and driving around Seattle. After everyone met back up, we went go-cart racing. The competition consisted of a practice round, a qualifying race, and a final race. The practice round was a 12 lap race to get familiar with the track, Roth and Austin had the best times. For the qualifying round we went 14 laps, our best lap time was used to arrange us in two groups of 6, from fastest to slowest. We started the final round in order of our best lap time, but the winner was the first one to cross the finish line. I had the second position in my heat; I passed Alex in the first lap and lapped Richie by the end, to win the first place medal. Today was incredibly fun, and it will be hard to top, but will do it.
