I was so impressed by all the races and teams, but we are looking at three teams that are in the top 20 and it showed today with their camaraderie, competitive spirit and overall performances. The Warriors got challenged today, but we met and raised our performances to meet it. Looking forward to another fast day tomorrow at 10 am!"
