Event 2 (&3&4&5&6&7)

Event 2 happened back during the World Cup, actually, and was won by Tim. It was picking the first team to score in the U.S. / Ghana match at the end of round 1, with the tie-breaker being the minute in which the goal was scored. Both Tim & Brooke chose Ghana to score first, but Tim picked the earlier time, so he won the point.

Last night (Tuesday) we played a series of events.

Event 3 was to see how many reverse crunches we could do consecutively. Brooke won the event soundly, doing 100 in a row. Jen came in a rather close 2nd at something around 60. Andy, Tim & Joel all collapsed after 30 or fewer each.

Event 4 was selected by Andy & was the great Seeger Weight-Loss Challenge. When Andy is next in Omaha (early October) each of the competitors will re-weigh themselves. Whoever lost the most weight will win the point.

Jen then chose a round of UNO as event 5, which Joel won, scoring his first point of the competition.

Next, Joel created a ball-rolling event for event 6 in the living room, using various child playthings and a small bucket. Balls (and the disc) were given various point values for scoring based on difficulty of getting them in the bucket. Joel scored first with only 2 points (out of a possible 32). Tim & Andy both scored 0, then Jen got 5 and looked to be the winner until Brooke, with zero points, rolled the disc in from across the room scoring 10 points.

Tim then devised Event 7. Handing each of us a random book off the shelf, we each scoured the book in search of the word "very." First one to find it won the event. The Five People You Meet in Heaven seems not to use the word very, so Brooke won the event (though i can't remember with which book).
