Return from IMO

I have finally returned from the IMO, not having gone to bed since Saturday night. On Sunday night we had to sleep on the floor in the hotel dining room due to the hurricane. In the event however the hurricane both weakened and turned slightly away from us so it did no damage in Mérida.
On Monday we had the closing ceremony, at which the medals are presented. The final cut-offs were 35 for gold, 23 for silver and 12 for bronze so I got my gold! Between the party after the closing ceremony and leaving at 4.30 on Tuesday morning, there was no point sleeping. Since then I have been travelling home.
