winning

i was in a competition. we were all in teams, and right at the moment we were all in a rollercoaster type sled, made of tiny slats of wood that would bend and flex into the size of space they were in. it was like a bobsled or a rollercoaster, and each team was near each other in a long line of sled pieces all made of this flexible wooden construction. we went through tunnels and over rapids. i was in the first "car" with this little girl that was my partner.

we made it through the rapids, and then the tunnel we were heading down closed into a really tight space where i had to fold in half at the waist to fit through. i pushed her to the side and behind me so we could make it through.

at the end all the teams were confronted by what our scores were. i didnt make the cut for the final two. i always made the cut. this was the first year i hadn't and i was really disappointed, and it completely sucked, but i couldnt figure out why i hadn't had a good enough score even on the trivia part to advance our team. anyway, this was bulshit, and i got out of there as soon as i could. balls.
