Charity boat race: the results!

How did we do?!

The Trisoft team entered the Nottingham Riverside Festival Dragon Boat Challenge that took place on Sunday 7^th August 2016 and was comprised of 43 teams!

This was a charity boat race where each team was tasked with 3 races of 200m against 3 other boats, and the teams with the overall most successful race times then got through to the semi-finals and the final.

Entered with team name Trisoft-y McTrisoftface, we smashed our first race winning with a time of 60.59 seconds, 1.33 seconds faster than the next boat! Here’s the team winning race 1:

In our second race we came in second place, but beat our first race time, completing the race in 57.43 seconds!

The third race saw us take second place again with a time of 62.01 seconds, just 22 seconds behind the first boat.

These brilliant times put us in the semi-finals!

Sadly however the semi-final wasn’t our race, and we came third with a race time of 62.74 seconds, losing out on a place in the final by 2.43 seconds.

Overall Trisoft-y McTrisoftface came 11^th out of 43 teams, a position we’re really proud of! The Dragon Boat Challenge was a great day out for the team and it was all for a fantastic cause too.

The sponsored charity for the Dragon Boat Challenge, Rainbows Hospice, is the East Midlands’ only hospice for children and young people, and is a place where life-limited children and their families can find care and support.

Trisoft raised £135 for Rainbows Hospice, however the whole event raised over £19,000 for the charity.

But there’s still time to support the cause and donate! Click here if you would like to support Trisoft in raising money for Rainbows Hospice.
