UBC has an intramural sports event called "Storm the Wall". It is a five person team relay which includes a swim, sprint, cycle, and run. At the end of the event the entire team climbs over a 12 foot wall. I joined a team of Computer Science students doing the event. I did the cycling portion of the race. Due to a mistake in our team registration, we competed in the "CoRec" category which requires two females in order to compete. On Tuesday we had our first race and came in fourth with a time of 17:16. Despite the fact that we competed with five males, nobody disqualified us and we advanced to the semi-finals. Today we finished the race in third place with a time of 16:36. In today's race we had one female, but this time they noticed and we were disqualified.
