I tried something new with our team this last weekend. Each year we do a fundraiser for the boys cross country team. This year, we did an all night campout and relay at our track. Each boy got 5 names of people who would be willing to donate $.05 for each lap we ran as a team. Every member of our team ran for 40 minutes each. We started at 8:00 p.m. and the last kid finished at 7:20 p.m. As a team we completed 371 laps.
This was a really fun experience. Despite the fact that I got absolutely no sleep, I think the kids really had a blast and it was a great team bonding event. The funniest thing that happened was when the sprinkler system kicked on about an hour after we set our tents up. Some of the boys had (unknowingly) set their tents up on top of sprinkler heads. Needless to say, we started the night off a little wet.
By the way, I ran about 90 of those 371 laps.
