Your health during a FIRST regional

and in previous years this was fine. but this year someone decided they'd like to starve those poor, diligent pit crews by not allowing food in the pits.

as for my health, anyone who knows me knows that i lose my voice by about noon on thursday. =-]

as for sleep, i'm a huge insomniac anyway, so the night before the competition i'm lucky if i get an hour or two of sleep. thursday night i'm usually so tired that i don't remember my head hitting the pillow. friday night depends on how high we're ranked and how tough saturday's matches are. high ranking and tough matches saturday means George doesn't sleep well. low ranking usually means i can just go out and have fun on saturday, so i sleep like a log.

as for post competition... well, my mind is usually so sharp after a competition that i fill up 2 or 3 pages with drawings of ideas to try next year and in the off season.

well... yeah... i had to reread what i wrote to make sure i was still on topic =-]

so there's me during competition. anyone else think they're at their best when they're at a competition? (FIRST, football, baseball, chess, etc.) i think i just live to compete...
