DBP Roro Inter-island Adventure Race - Day 6

We arrived at Camarines Sur in the middle of the night. We went straight to the CamSur Watersports Complex. We had a good buffet dinner there. It was all good except when Will and i talked, he started shouting again about how he doesnt care about Ryza and I after the race. The other teams noticed. Hay nako. I was telling him to calm down and that it was just a request to tone down on the orders. Anyway,we got our keys and headed off to our room. I was so tired but the luxury of a nice warm bath beckoned me to the bathroom.

The call time in the morning was 6:30am. It was a drizzling day. Dismal time to race. We were given some snacks and then it was race time. We left 3rd. The task was to run to the dragon boat area and then two will paddle as one beats a rhythm. On the way, we ran across Jai from team Agila who was berating himself for going the wrong direction. We overtook them and ended up first. I took the position in the middle, will near the front. He kept shouting to steer and was stopping his paddling every so often which pissed me off a lot but i just had to do my best. We sped ahead of the other teams and landed first. We were then supposed to run to the water sports lake and grab some life vests. I hated all the running!! After getting the vests on, we were supposed to swim across the lake to the pitstop in the middle island. William went ahead as usual. I had to deal with Ryza who didnt know how to swim. I forgot the life saving technique of just letting her get on her back. She grabbed my neck as i struggled to swim across. In the middle, which was soooo deep, i asked her to lie on her back and relax. Luckily she followed and we back stroked to the end. Team Sikatuna overtook us since they were really strong swimmers and the blue team of the twins and Zaira came before us too. We retained our third place.

Irritating thing was that each time a camera points at will, he starts blabbering about this and that. He started talking to the camera about how his team mates were all full of drama and that if it werent up to him , we wouldnt be where we were. Kapal right? Worse was that Ryza and i were a few feet away and we heard it. Thats me in the picture after the leg. We were given free few hours to wakeboard but i was too exhausted. We managed to arrange for a massage and just recovered from that race. Will went wakeboarding which was fine with me. I didnt want to see him for some time.
