Experienced teams doing great things ( like 116) can't even come close to describing their activities in 10,000 words or a 5 minute presentation. So much gets left on the proverbial "cutting room floor".
It comes down to a choice:
If you itemize everything you do, your submission reads like a laundry list.
Or you write from your heart and cut out half of what you did the last few years.
We always choose to write with some heart, but I always worry about the things that we have left out of our submission.
The choice is very difficult.
