Aches and Pains, due to lots of Fun!
Twas our company's annual Rounders competition last night. Four teams of 11, hitting the ball with a tiny bat, running our hearts out, trying not to be caught or stumped!
Yelling at the Ref for not counting runs, letting the other team get away with underhand tactics (which of course we didn't do), and trying not to get hurt!
Lots of puffed people, balls hitting heads, thighs and other sensitive areas, going over the fence and landing in unreachable areas!
Was interesting to see how the workmates could surprise with their sporting prowess, or lack thereof, as well as how competitive people were, and how others just didn't care. Was even great to see people on holiday come along and watch, amongst all the other spectators as well... for an office staff of about 110, at least 50, if not 60 turned up to play and watch! An awesome number really considering they were folks from every department (HR, Sales, Marketing, IT, Finance and Communications)... all like one big happy company!
The food was fabulous, as too though the drink - well considering they were company products I can't say much otherwise!
Just think I'll mention who won... team Stolichnaya, and guess who was on team Stoli? None other than myself, woooooo!
Though how sore am I today... using muscles that I haven't used in a very, very, very long time! Think it's bubble bath, soak the aches out time!
