Saturday was our fourth and final challenge, it was another fun one. Jessy and I were the only two from our team who were able to make it.
I almost didn't go because I had been sick for the last week and a half. But I drug myself there and am glad I went. Although I would have had much more fun had I not been shaky and weak through the entire thing.
We joined the purple team who were missing team mates also.
There were four different events.

#1 Bouncy Ball Flag Tag
Who thinks up this stuff? Fat kids on exercise balls bouncing around a gymnasium. Talk about a recipe for disaster! There were a couple good crashes. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, only some scrapes and bruises. But it was worth it, fun was had by all!
Goal: snatch the flags from the other teams before they took yours. Jessy had my flank, but I still lost my flags almost immediately. I have decided I'm not aggressive or competitive enough.

#2 Hungry Hungry Hippo
The irony of the name of the game does not escape me.
Each team stood together at a wall, with each teammate touching the wall. One team member ran to the center of the gym, snatched a ball then ran back to their team, ball in hand. The heavier the ball the more points it was worth. The next team member then left the wall in order to sprint for their chance at a ball. This continued until all the balls were gone from the center of the gymnasium. The team who gathered the most balls/points won.
#3 Tribute Challenge
The trainers had a bowl with challenges written on pieces of paper.
Each team had to choose a tribute to participate in the challenge before the challenge event was known.
The challenge was won by the last tribute standing after the challenge event.
Luke didn't get a picture of me doing my part for the team. I had to stay in plank. After the other teams tributes gave out it was between me and a man, the last two fat kids holding plank. The crowd was going wild. Our team mates screamed and cheered us on! I stayed in plank for three minutes and collapsed just before the other guy did, darn!

#4 Tractor Tire Flip
Each team had to flip their tractor tire 50 yards.
We broke up into groups of twos. Jessy and I were a pair, we had to flip the tire the first ten yards of the race, then run to the thirty yard line to flip it another ten yards since our team was so small.
I needed longer arms!
