Regional Competition went really well. We all had a great time and learned a lot. We ended up bringing home 9 trophies one of which is the best you can get, overall team percentage. we were all very proud.
There were 4 competitions that we competed in, Firearms, Crime Scene Investigation, Testing and Physical agility. i competed in all of them. (YES!! even the physical Agility) I wasn't even going to do the physical agility but i thought hey why not. I ended up doing the best out of my whole team! I was impressed that i was the fastest seeing as how i was the biggest (probably most out of shape) person there. I completed the Physical Agility course in 1 min and 11 seconds.
The Crime scene was fun. it was an actual hotel room that we went to investigate and it the scenario was that an illegal gambling involving a police officer was taking place and got busted. we had to go in and find the evidence that was hidden.
Firearms was a lot of fun. I realize now that i still need to practice more often so i can improve my score. I scored a 209 out of a poss. 500. not very good but i will do better next time seeing as how i know what to expect.
The testing was, well... testing. wasn't fun. its testing. but we did score i think 3 or 4 trophies from that category.
Liberal was interesting. very small, smelled funny and just small western town. Nice people but just different. i did get to eat a 14 oz. kc strip with mashed potatoes, salad and soup for 15.95. i think that is a bargain!!! it was probably the best steaks i have ever had.. it was very good.
On the way back home we stopped in Greensburg, Kansas. For those of you who aren't familiar with Greensburg, it is a small town that was devastated when a F5 tornado wiped out most of their town. It really puts things in perspective when you see a nothing left but the foundation of a house with the debris of the walls scattered everywhere. It was really sad seeing everything that the tornado wiped out. Peoples lives were destroyed in a matter of minuets and how they are having to rebuild literally from ground up.
We took pictures of all of the things that we did so i will be posting those soon.
Love to all
Cody
