We got a lie in this morning until 6.15am instead of 6.00am. This morning we had a Sprint set a 200m set and a 400m set for three different groups. When we had to get out of the pool for the Dive it was very cold, but probably still hotter than England.
At 10.30 we met up for the trip to Siam Park, and after a delay the coach finally arrived and took us there.
When we got there we had the team challenge of the day racing in heats on the Nager Racer (see photo). Kane tried to have his LZR shipped in for the event but unfortunatley it did not arrive in time. With a lot of banter and in depth conversations on technique the racing began. Andi matched up against Kane, Zichen, Matt and Steeps with Matt emerging the victor. The lads then had a rerun with Leanne joining in and she came second to Andi beating the 4 lads! We all then went off to explore the park. There were some great slides like the Tower of Power which had a 28m near vertical drop (see slide in the background of the team photo), the dragon, the volcano, the rapids and the Boa. All swimmers had a great day. The temperature was the highest yet at 27 degrees celcius.
After Dinner we had the team meeting and tonight the quiz's were slogans and logos.
The entertainment in the hotel was sssssssso funny! There was a snake show, and with points being awarded to the swimmers that held the snake, Steeps made sure he was first in there to be involved. Steeps was choosen to hold all 3 snakes (photos to follow). The performer then asked for a lady that was scared of snakes to go up, and after chasing Emily around the room (so funny!) Evie stepped up and volunteered. Evie was very scared and at one point yelled "I feel sick" was blindfolded to hold the snake, screaming it was then revealed that it was only a piece of rope! She then bravley held one of the smaller snakes. With the points still on their minds Sasha, James and Hannah S and Rosie then went to hold the snake and have nice pictures to prove it.
The points are now building up:
The red hot chili peppers (Matt's team) winning the days racing, and the slogans, and joint winners with the A team (Zichen's team). The swimmers of the day were James, Rosie, Kane, Eve and Sarah for their excellent performances in the morning session. However, Emily and Evie lost points for being late in the morning. Points for Steeps, Evie, Sasha, James, Rosie and Hannah S all winning points.
1st - The Red Hot Chili Peppers (Matts team) 80.5
=2nd - The Safe Sick Badmen (Kane's team) 57
=2nd - The Original Phone Boxes (Steeps team) 57
4th - The A team (Zichen's team) 49.5
