A few Random Things

First of all, if you’re sore from that welcome back crossfit, don’t worry. Everyone else feels your pain (some more than others). Also, this is not an excuse to take off from practice. Granted, it is understandable if you don’t push 110%. You’re just asking for an injury. But do Push through the pain. The more you move around, the faster you’ll get over the soreness. Working the muscles within reason will loosen the lactic acid. And to all of you that aren’t sore, I hate you. Work harder in practice.

I have recently received news that is on par with Wendy’s opening. Chick-fil-a will be coming to our Student Union. McDonald’s is out; delicious is in.

Denis, we need more youtube videos on the group. It boosts morale. Let’s everyone on the team realize that they aren’t insane and weird. Like you.

Cole, breaking your foot was not cool man. Why you gotta be like that? Getting out of the welcome back crossfit. Psh.

So, we might not be going to terminus. This is rather unfortunate. My entire spring break plans kinda hinged on a road trip from Atlanta to Austin. Maybe I’ll still go, see if I can pick up with a team. Anyone else in? Other stops would include Daytona Beach, New Orleans, etc.

Public Service Announcement

I have just received the most wonderful news. Apparently, a Wendy’s will be opening in the Champaign-Urbana area. Maybe even on campus, but I’m not too sure on its exact location. I’m not too sure of the exact day that it is opening either; however, I am sure of one thing. We will be celebrating this glorious opening with a team visit and at least one Wendy’s challenge.

A Wendy’s challenge is as follows: the original ten items from the 99 cent menu, fastest to finish wins. The original items include: the baked potato, Caesar salad, house salad, chili, 5pc nuggets, jr. bacon cheese burger, small pop, small frosty, small fries, regular cheeseburger (Zubair, you’re the expert on all things fast food. Is this list correct?) A few other rules to keep in mind: you must eat the Caesar dressing, but you may discard the dressing for the house salad; if you throw up before finishing the challenge, you must eat your vomit in order to finish the challenge.

By my memory, Curt holds the record for the illini at 11 minutes. Not only does his feat make him an eating champion, it also resulted in the shaming of Walden. Granted, it was Walden’s second challenge within the hour, and he also ate food from KFC, since the first challenge didn’t provide him with enough food. But seriously, if you’re gonna sit at the table, you’d better be able to finish. Anything less than that is just dishonorable. From what I’ve heard, Walden didn’t even finish.

Well Walden, It seems you will soon have the opportunity to regain your honor, if you so choose. He who wins the challenge and beats the team record will have his meal paid for, unless the team vehemently objects to this use of $10 of team funds. Another goal to keep in mind: the fastest time I’ve heard of in ultimate culture was 9 minutes and 32 seconds. Not sure who holds that record though. I want to say that it is a former Oklahoma player, but I seriously have no idea.
