Our tribe was slightly undermanned, so we merged into the MacCloud tribe. (Yes I know that it’s spelled wrong, its on purpose). They were a great group of guys that really made us feel like we were part of the tribe. This tribe has so much heart and everyone left everything on the field. I cannot believe we didn’t win the competition (we took 3rd).
We had some awesome victories: football came down to the winning touchdown in the last few seconds, made by my brother Chad, the engineers blew the competition away (almost doubling up the weight held by 2nd place) We held 30 lbs (officially 27) second only held 16lbs. Thanks to the professional skills of Nate for the video competition. Our basketball team rocked with a 2nd place finish, and of course, what can top the tug of war win against O’Callahan uphill and still beating them!! Chad went undefeated in the Pugil Stick competition with a 4-0 record. Our amazing race team got so far ahead, they had to WAIT for the clues to get there!! (1st place finish there).
Paintball was definitely a rush, even though we didn’t win. I am very proud to say that of the 3 guys we killed, I killed two of them. One was the second shot of the game that nailed the guy right between the eyes.
All in all it was a fantastically exhausting weekend. I can’t wait for next year.
