Junior Relays

Day 15

Today was the last day of world champs and to finish it off were team relays! Unfortunately there are only junior relays (4x2.5km for girls and 4x5km for guys), not U23 relays so Kendra didn't race. Her and the other teammates that didn't race rocked the cheering though! We didn't actually have a complete junior girls relay team because two of the girls weren't feeling well but luckily the other girl and I were still given the chance to race our part of the relay. Even though it wasn't ideal not to have anybody to pass off to when I was finishing, I'm glad I didn't pass up the opportunity to race in the event! I will never forget what an inspiring and amazing feeling it is to represent Canada :)

Finished!
Cheering on the guys!

In the evening, the Canadian team along with all the teams, attended the final banquet/athlete party. First we had a taste of fresh beef cut off from the huge rotisserie at the entrance, followed by a traditional Romanian dinner and finally a dance!
Overall, a super fun night with the team! 

Biiiig Rotisserie - pretty sure it was beef?
