Mark,
Allow me to reinforce what you wrote about the teamwork. I thought our team worked really well together, but watching you guys converge on your damaged airplane like a swarm of scalpel-wielding surgeons was an amazing sight!

I also noticed the spirit of mutual support going around between the teams. I think it was really great, and probably due to the fact that one thing we all had in common was the months of sacrifice and pain we'd put in just to get to the competition. I wish I'd brought more props to lend people.

I hope I didn't seem cold at the competition. I don't think we actually spoke, but I was really focused on our plane and making sure all the details were taken care of. I was there to get the job done, although I wish I had taken more time to meet people from the other teams. Maybe next year!
