– More Heat –

There was a slight breeze throughout the day today, but to say that it was cooler than yesterday would be an understatement. The heat was still very unrelenting. However, I cam better prepared. First, I did not have to hike up the hill this time as someone gave me a ride. How was I better prepared? I brought a beach umbrella!!! The ground was too hard to stick the post into the ground, but that did not stop me from getting creative. This definitely made a difference throughout the day.

– The Games –

The national championship comes down to the Old Red and the Panthers. I was hoping that the Panthers from La Serena would win the National Championship because I helped coach them to a third place win at the VARC Beach Rugby Open several years ago. However, Old Red from Arica just proved to be too much for them. Maybe the intense heat worked in their favor as Arica is a hot, desert zone? If you are used to playing in those kinds of conditions, then it does not become a factor. However, the Panther still put up one heck of a fight.

– First Night Sevens Tournament –

What an awesome idea, night rugby!!! We all know how hot a sevens rugby tournament can be in the summer, let alone a Chilean summer. Not only is Chile is much closer to the equator than the United States, the air is much cleaner too. Therefore, the sun’s ultraviolet rays are much stronger and can pass through the atmosphere much easier. Anyways, the tournament starts off during the late afternoon and ends late at night. Due to the lighting conditions and my inexperience with night photography, I was not able to get any photos of the night games. However, it was fun playing night rugby!!!
