I have not written a blog post in far too long! That doesn’t mean that I’ve been sitting on my bum, though. This past weekend, for example, was one of the best, most jam-packed, weekends ever. The tell-tale sign? The aches and pains that I woke up with bright and early on Monday morning.
On the work end of things, it was a great weekend as I reacquainted myself with the Spanish language by watching a couple movies en español. I also got started on the revamping of the HSBT application, which will be available later this week for all you Georgia students interested in advertising.
Back to the aches, pains, and that picture at the top of this post. After a UGA Girls Soccer game and bowling on Friday night and ridiculous stunts off of Ramsey’s diving boards on Saturday, it was almost time for the Main Event. On Sunday, five of my friends and I took on yet another Man Challenge, and this one was definitely a doozy. Each team, chosen at random, was tied together at the ankle to create a great three-legged aspect to the event. Each team was to “run” 3.1 miles down Milledge Avenue, and finish by jumping into the Lakeside pool. One last thing was needed to make this race a true Man Challenge: A gallon of milk for each team to down along the way. Your team was not done until that milk was done.
The race was initially intended to be a run, but at the start, we more closely resembled penguins waddling across Broad Street. Amazingly, though, each team’s skill improved dramatically over the course of the race, and strategy definitely played a roll in the result, as it does in every Man Challenge.
The race was one for the ages with Team LongSocks, made up of the combo of Tom Fell and Jay Rogers, narrowly defeating Dealbreaker Dave Amato and myself for 1st Place. The Lakeside pool patrons at 6:30 on Sunday certainly got a show!
The race, and our weekends, ended with everyone in a state that can best be described as a “milk coma.” Needless to say, we took it pretty easy the rest of the night. Great weekend!
