5/10/07: Allison Has Completed "Office Olympics"

Well I had a lot of fun with this one. It was a trial getting people to help me out. Since I work in an office that's usually pretty slack, I thought everyone would jump at the chance to be a part of the office olympics. Unfortunately for me, today a lot of people were actually busy. Eventually I got John M, John K, and Chris to help me out by promising them fame and fortune. I lied about the fortune part, but maybe by appearing on Rutless.com they will achieve fame. Maybe not.

I broke it down into 3 events.

Longshot: A contest to see who could shoot a rubberband the furthest down the hall. Each contestant stands behind a tape line on the carpet and shoots as far as he/she can. Whoever shoots the furthest wins the gold.

Basketball: A contest to see who could shoot the most paperballs (out of 10) into a wastebasket. Each contestant stands behind a tape line in the carpet and shoots all 10 paperballs at the wastebasket. Whoever gets the most out of 10 into the basket wins the gold.

Chair Spin: A contest to see who could spin the longest off of one kick on the floor or desk. A stopwatch is used to measure the time from kicking until the chair comes to a complete stop.

Overall, I suck. The boys killed me at office olympics.

In the Longshot, John M shot the furthest, getting the gold. Chris got the silver, and John K got the bronze.

In the basketball, John M got 8 out of 10, winning the gold again. John K, Chris and I each got 3 out of 10. Since there was a three way tie, we each shot again and John K got 3 again, Chris got 4, taking the silver, and I got 2.


In the chair spin event, Chris slaughtered everyone with an outstanding 1 minute and 14 second spin, winning him the gold. John M took his only silver with 27.3 seconds. I actually took the bronze here with 25.3 seconds. John K showed his age (old) by only spinning a measely 22.6 seconds.


Overall, John M was the big winner with 2 gold and 1 silver.


Chris came in second with 2 silver and 1 gold.


John K brought 3rd place with 2 bronze.


I didn't place since all I could win was one measely bronze.


I still had fun though. Next year I plan to train a little longer.
