Alexis wins

Zita still looks like she's meditating, breathing deeply, eyes hooded, but the other four are struggling dreadfully and amongst the losers, Kara and Cornelia continue to put on a show. Konstantina's supporters, perhaps sensing she's nearing her limit, start shouting encouragement, but from the growing anguish on her face, you're not sure it'll be enough. Ffion doubles over and grips the back of her head, pressing her forearms tightly against her cheeks, but it's the redheaded lass from the church who next squeals in overdue pleasure, before flopping down exhausted.

Grandmother Shirley cums again, still lavishing praise on the student bringing her expertly to the peak, then your eyes are briefly drawn away from the stage by Konstantina's daughter, Naia, threading her way through the throng to the front to watch her mother's triumph or failure. She's apparently finished the punishments from the gamblers who backed her in the first heat, but hasn't bothered (or perhaps hasn't been allowed) to dress. You feel a moment of regret that she's not competing, because she's one of the prettiest and most responsive contestants you've seen all day, but the event still seems to be going swingingly.

Siobhan and Zahra appear to be climaxing almost continually now, quite delirious as their bodies quiver in the throes of release. Zita gives a low moan and drops out of the race with so little fuss that only the spreading puddle of her juices testifies to her orgasm.

With the field narrowed to three, the former champion makes the mistake of looking out at the spectators for a moment instead of focussing inwards and as soon as her eyes meet Naia's, her resolve finally breaks to the sound of a scream that mingles fury and lust in equal measure. You see blood on Alexis's chin and realize she's bitten her lip, but likely hasn't noticed amongst the other competing sensations she's experiencing. She's also gripping her thighs so tightly you're surprised she's not drawn blood there as well with her nails.

The noise from the crowd is overwhelming, even though all the favourites now seem to be out, so when Ffion cums, you can only tell that she's sobbing from the heaving of her shoulders, rather than the sound of weeping. Concentrating so hard on her own game, you're sure Alexis doesn't know she's won, but it only takes a few more seconds before she, too, succumbs to the attentions of the student between her thighs and her body is wracked by a spectacular climax.

Robyn's whistle blows for the final time and the twelve mounts cease their duties, to a mixture of relief and disappointment from their riders. The spectators break into a thunderous round of applause, punctuated by wolf whistles and cheers. The show of appreciation goes on for so long that you're able to make your way back to the the stage before they quieten.

As soon as she can be heard, Robyn announces the name of the person who bet the most on the first competitor eliminated and the crowd parts to let him come up quickly so he can administer his half of the swats. Like the rest of the finalists, the woman in question is exhausted by her efforts, so two waitresses help her to her feet to receive the required punishment. Meanwhile, the other contestants are released from their bonds and you shake each one by the hand and congratulate her on getting so far, before guiding all but the top three off the stage. Most of them are still fairly frazzled and unable to converse to any great extent, but Zita is fully coherent, Shirley is effusive in her praise for the event and Ffion and Konstantina just about manage to reply intelligently.

Families and friends are ready to receive each of the riders and they all seem supportive, wherever their associate finished. Members of Siobhan's church pick her up and parade her away on their shoulders, Kara recovers sufficiently to hug and air kiss a knot of other impeccably attired woman of a certain age, Shirley's family is full of admiration and Zahra's mates hold her up with arms around their shoulders when she would fall. Cornelia is greeted warmly by what you take to be her parents, husband and either friends or siblings, but this can't compensate for the absence of her trainer, who's presumably waiting for his other charge to pick up her prize.

Because of your duties, you're unable to watch the paddling, but the timing works out that you finish just as the spanking reaches a conclusion and Robyn welcomes you heartily to the front of the stage. You thank the guests again for their generosity and support and ask for a round of applause to show appreciation for the students who made the event possible. The girls who served as mounts in the final are joined by their comrades from backstage, who all smile and wave and many blow kisses to the crowd. You notice Lorelei's not been relieved of her figs and she and Johanna are still naked, the tail-like pendulum swinging agonizingly with every step the busty redhead takes. Nevertheless, she manages to take part in the show despite her tears and her tute-partner is similarly conscientious, although blushing becomingly at the memory of the display she put on earlier.

Then, it's time to hand out the prizes to the winners. The short break's given them time to recover and Konstantina manages to accept her bronze-coloured medallion gracefully. You're sure that only the people on the stage can tell she's seething with rage inside. Ffion holds her prize above her head and shouts out one of the slogans used by the team, which is immediately repeated by about a third of the spectators. Finally, you take the cup from Robyn and present it to Alexis, who kisses it and holds it up, tears in her eyes.

Tradition dictates that the winner gives a short speech and it's here that things go a little off the rails, because the elfin young lady starts to gabble out an effusive and prolonged paean to the man who coached her to victory. You think she must have exhausted the thesaurus in the many different ways the finds to praise her idol, but she shows no sign of stopping and you're trying to think of a polite way to interrupt the encomiastic pleonasm when you see Josh standing a few rows back make a cutting gesture with a finger and she abruptly brings her speech to an end. She turns and thanks you and Robyn, then skips down the steps to receive the congratulations of the spectators, who quickly (and tactfully) forget her rambling oration.

The prizegiving represents the end of the official festivities, but the Boat is booked for another two hours and from what you've heard, people are usually in no hurry to leave, so whilst Robyn and the students get down from the stage to mingle and hopefully secure a few last minute donations, you're free of responsibilities.
