after the self challenge there was a pre-race party at the the hotel. once again all the vips from giant, taiwan tourist board and government agencies were introduced. the racers were given gifts and taiwanese aborignal dancing completed the event. during the presentation we were served an elaborate 7 course dinner. guess what the entree was? yup, roast beef! i ate lots of fruit for dessert and went to sleep. kinda tired after my self-challenge incomplete ride.
