Like all the teams, you set off from the secret rendezvous point with four balloons. You spent 80 points buying another 4 from shop 1. By the time you got to shop 2 you decided to carry on with just the balloons you were carrying. Along the way you had 0 of your cargo popped, meaning you arrived back at base with 8 intact. Your race time ranked you 7 out of 36 teams which gave you a bonus 166 points and a total of 486 for the race overall.
