Here are the updates for 7AM THURSDAY: Andrea K, Colleen, Erin = 98 (188 total) John, Holly, Nancy = 146 (267 total) Richard, Erica, Mary = 140 (269 total)- includes Richard’s score from The Lisa at 6pm Ruth, Wendy, Jason = 132 (236 total) –includes Wendy’s 6pm score Tina, Jessica, Andrea Jones = 92 (182 total)
For Thurday's total, I got that Team Andrea K, Colleen, and Erin got 122 pts. (70 for Andrea, 52 for Colleen, and Erin didn't make it. That gave us an as-of-Thursday total of 212. What numbers did we have different?
… and here’s a somewhat grelated story to bootcamp that happened to me yesterday on my way home from the land of the Guerrieri’s (aka Ohio) – but funny enough that I thought I would share it with you all. For some reason, Delta either really loves me or they love the fact that I’m flying with them 4-5 times a week. That being said, I have been fortunate enough to be one of the lucky ones that gets “upgraded” to first class cabin on a very regular basis. So, yesterday as I’m getting ready to board the plane, a line-up had formed with all Zone 1 passengers and then all other people behind. Not wanting to “bud” in, I went in the new Breezeway lanes that Delta created. Obviously being the nice guy that I am, I waited for other fellow zone oners to check in from the other lane before moving forward. This “suit” comes behind me barking loudly on his cell phone. After all of 2 seconds, yells at me to move along. I obviously ignore the 6’4” dim-witted fool and let two ladies by – yes, chivalry is not dead with me! At that point, he expresses to whomever he was talking to on his cell phone that he was trying to get on the plane but there was an “idiot” in front of him letting everyone go by and that he was in 1st class and was really annoyed. Not ignoring him or wanting to cause a kafuffle, I simply turned around and shrugged my shoulders with the look that says “what gives punk!” Not taking my stare down lightly, this senseless moron tries to squeeze between me and the rope and in the process gives me a gentle body check – playing hockey twice a week and being of “low gravity” to begin with, I was able to sustain the blow and step into him a little to deny him access. Frustrated, he shrieks something along the line that he’s first class and needs to get on the plane. I turn around, in my best southern-charm way, explain to him that I am also riding in 1st class and so are all those lovely people in line that I was letting in. Not convinced, he tries to walk through me once again…only this time I was facing him and promptly declared: “Careful buddy, I fitwit!!!” This is the truth…picture me in a suit facing this man that is at least 7 to 8 inches taller telling him something like that. Needless to say, he froze in his track and gave me a look of bewilderment. At this point, two Delta employees had come around and tried to sort out this mess. They let me board and then went back to the other line for a while making this brainless dude wait a few more minutes… finally he joins us on board and wouldn’t you believe my luck, he also happens to be sitting next to me. No words are exchanged; I was already comfortably sitting my in seat and had already gotten into my book. He proceeds to sit down… Now here’s the best part – once all the passengers are boarded, the captain of the plane with two stewardesses came over to this pathetic excuse of a man. The captain basically said to him: “Sir, you basically have two options, one – we will gladly re-sit you in the back of the plane in coach or two - you can get off this plane and wait for the next one; your behaviour earlier is not tolerated on my plane and you are lucky that I’m giving these options.” Needless to say he was not very happy, eventually after a few choice words, agreed to move to the back and once the plane landed in ATL, I didn’t really stick very long to get his reaction as he got off the plane. However, during the short flight home, a few of us at the front exchanged a few grins and exchanged a few laughs at the expense of our new friend…
Moral of the story – apparently the shape that Josh and co are putting us in as spread throughout and the simple mention and association with fitwit is enough to scare any and all enemies!!! Sorry for the long story, but this was too funny an experience not to share…have a good weekend.
team week ideas 1) make the teams larger (5-6 people) - will help equalize the scoring across groups and make it less groups to keep track of
2) make an excel spreadsheet with formulas so that you can just type in the scores and then it will automatically tabulate each team's daily points (i can do that for you if it's too complex)
3) if a teammate misses, maybe double the lowest scorers points for the day to help out. or just say, "too bad, you're teammate screwed you".
Hillarious story Jerome. Glad you won out in the end.
I think Jelena's ideas are all good- bigger teams helps to equalize things and you need to figure out what to do about absences. Maybe doubling the lowest scorers total is the best of the two options because it really sucks for the others showing up and working hard, to completely lose out on points because someone didn't show up.
I also definitely think you should make "I fitwit" your new slogan.
Maybe next camp we can start Fantasy Fitwit all through camp. Just like Fantasy Football, etc, you can draft different campers in any time session and get points for your campers' performances daily. That will really get those encouraging words flowing.
By the way, here's a tag line for Angie that I heard from a Strength and Conditioning coach before as we were stretching: "It's not how far you go, but how you go far."
The team score for Michelle B., Apryl, and Dwight as of Thursday night is 210. This score doesn't include Dwight's Thursday score since it wasn't posted.
Screw the FitWit T-shirt, I want a Jeromeo T-shirt. A giant red Canadian leaf with the silhouette of Romey's curly locks in the center with the caption: "Careful buddy, I fitwit!"
Romey, that works on 6'4" chuckleheads, but I wouldn't try it on Chuck Norris.
And finally a haiku for our camp hero:

romey rome, you are quality.
that should be a new bumper sticker "i fitwit"

Colleen's is right, but for myself, I got 14, 8, and 8 for the 400's; 6 and 6 for pushups, 10 and 10 for situps, and 8 for squats.
Okay, okay, I'll stop. Just my competitive nature coming out.
"I FitWit?" . . . I like it JRome. I do think a bumper sticker is in order.
AK-47 - you should get on your teammates. You guys were in the running until the no-shows. I like the competitive spirit.
Todd - No Sports Illustrated wrap-up? I was looking forward to it.
