Your health during a FIRST regional

[sanddrag]

We would go to sleep anywhere between 1 am and 2:30 am ad wake up between 6:30 and 7:00 am. Our teacher got kind of angry that we all didn't get very much sleep. But how can you when there's the competition to think about?

After we got back everyone was so tired that like 2/3 of the team got sick. Oh, well.

One night we got the hotel to let us use the conference room to watch Friday's matches and discuss strategy for saturday. We were up till 12:30 doing this. We had a very meaningful strategy meeting and apparently it worked (seeding third and making it to second round of semifinals) and we got to hook up the dreamcast for a little bit too.

See we've got this real cool guy (Avo) on our team and he is a real smooth talker. The hotel was going to charge us $240 for the conference room but he got it for us for free.

Unfortunately that night after the meeting our bathroom flooded so we were up very late waiting for some service and were very tired the next day.

After the trip everyone was just so tired that like 2/3 of the team got sick. Oh, well.

Sorry I got a little off topic but it's all in the spirit.

All the above was the Phoenix regional. At LA last year it was so load in the place that I completely lost my voice by the end of Thursday (and I didn't even do any cheering).
