Dance competition was loooooooooooooong. I was down at the hotel by 7:30 a.m. and didn't get home until after midnight. The competition itself ran from 8 a.m. until after 7 p.m. We danced early and danced in heat 400 out of 409.
By the end of the evening, one of my partners, Joy, and I won best amateur couple and took first in our championship round. I was also named best country-western male dancer, which I find hilarious because they were the dances shortly after 8 a.m. and I was embarrassed by them. Joy said it was probably because everyone else out there was worse.
