Being two of the sassiest World Racers to date, Jenny Dawson and I were asked to create the awards given out at our Final debrief Banquet. The night was a lot of fun where we enjoyed good food, great conversation, and everybody looked fabulous. I got to Emcee the evening for our squad and it was a blast. When it came time for us to give out awards Jenny assisted me as we congratulated everyone on their achievements. We all enjoyed them so much that several folks asked me to post them on the blog site. Sorry if they don’t make sense to the average reader, they are apparently an inside joke, but I am sure the racers in question would be more than happy to explain why they received the award they were given. We also had some of our teammates that, for a number of reasons, were not with us in the end but we want them to receive their awards also so they are listed at the end. ENJOY!
