YMCA Dragon Boat Races

Last Friday, I participated in the YMCA Dragon Boat Races!  This is an event for local businesses to come together and have fun competing in team building events.  The Dragon Boat Races are the main event but there are lots of other events we compete in as well.  I did it when I worked with Lexicon so I was very excited to have the opportunity to participate with US Oncology this year!  We had SO much fun!!  I wish every day at work was like this!  We were so sweaty, dirty, and smelly at the end of the day but it was well worth it!!  We had 3 teams from US Oncology competing on the same day.  My team was the green team: United We Oar (Are) - - named for our current campaign slogan.

I've always been a paddler in the past but I guess they couldn't see my invisible muscles and thought I'd be a good drummer!  It was fun to drum!  I was a little nervous about keeping the beat b/c that is how everyone knows how to keep their paddle stroke in time.  Shari, the girl behind me, was the flag catcher. 

Here we go....

This was a game called Field Polo and it was so tiring!!  They re-named it Cardiac Arrest!  It was fun though!

Dodge Ball!

Human Foosball (also lots of fun but we all ate lots of sand...yuck!)

Here I am cheering on the team and waiting for my turn to go in...

Minute To Win It!

The orange team was made up of all of our IT people (mostly guys).  This is one of the Minute To Win It challenges.  You had to put an oreo on your forehead and use only your face muscles to get it in your mouth.  I love this sequence of pictures so I had to post them all!! It was so funny!!!

I also loved their USON tattoos!!
