Corporate Challenge kicks off!

One of the cool things that our company participates in is Corporate Challenge. "CC" kicked off the end of March down on Fremont Street. We had so much fun! The opening ceremonies included the Executive's Race. Five people from our management team had to tie a tie, bounce on a ball, proofread a document, blow a bubble and sit on a block of ice while singing a song. We placed FIRST in our division!!! Whoohoo!!! Below are pictures of the team, as well as our famous Mayor, Oscar Goodman!

One of the events I participated in by default was the range shoot. Yep, shooting a gun! I have shot some guns in my life but I am no where near expert. However, it's better to have me than have to forfiet right? We had 30 seconds to shoot six rounds, reload and shoot another six. Based on advice (turns out it was BAD advice) I was told to shoot fast because thirty seconds will fly by.

The first round was at 15 feet. I hit it twice in the same place, though no score. The second round was at 19 feet. Wow. I sucked. By the last round, I learned that shooting fast = really bad aim. So I slowed it down and managed to get 80 points out of 350. HAHA that's embarassing! When we were done with the event, one of the marshals asked me what my score was:

Marshal: "So, what did you end up with?"
Me: "I'm not gonna tell you"
Marshal: "Why not?"
Me: "Cuz you'll laugh at me!"
Marshal: "No I won't, I promise"
Me: " I scored 80"
Marshal: Laughing out loud, "But did you have fun?"
Me: "I had a blast!"
Marshal: "Then that's all that matters"

Amen! Sometimes all you can do is take one for the team and have a good time doing it!
