Alright ladies and Gents.. it has come to my attention that no one on this team has ever won VRAA before. Let's not have the luxury of making that statement next round. Let us make the other teams say "Shit, rUnbeatable came from no where to win.. a bunch of misfit shit heads put together whooped our asses!" Our strength is our consistency.<br><br>
I typically wouldn't feel the need to go 'ra! ra!' and do a ronald reagan-esque, patton-esque battle cry - but it has come to my attention that other teams are now saying "wow we're out on top!" ... some people take this lightly, others do not. I see this as a 31 day race. Even more taxing than the 24 hour relay of June, there were only 5 survivors then. This time, there will be 15.<br><br>
A few of our guys and gals haven't posted yet, and the other teams are skiing machines... but we have each other! We're incredibly good looking. This is America! Good looking people cannot fail! <img alt="icon_salut.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif"><br><br>
With that said... I'm not forcing anyone to treat this lil VRAA with as much passion as I do. Afterall, the key word is Virtual. But.. a piece of internet-immortality would be nice, especially as I near graduation. This is Dave's last VRAA for a whille, and a few others as well. I'm not putting a gun to any of our heads, that wouldn't be too friendly. But I am saying that I've given it 90% thus far, now I'm going to give 120% (while keeping it smart and taking it easy, 'active rest' days have now entered my vocabulary). 120% every day.<br><br>
As Andrew Carlson said.. there's a 60% chance of rain, 100% chance of pain. And as the pharmaceutical companies said "Tylenol can cure the pain, but nothing can cure the regret." I'm not endorsing getting to the point where we need tylenol to run, that would be stupid and defeat the purpose of this little motivational exercise; but I am saying that I'm going to go the extra mile, and many more miles to follow. Mileage with Smileage.<br><br>
We've worked this hard guys. Its been a great ride thus far. If we chilled out now and remembered what we've done to this point - that would be fine. But that'd be the easy and painless thing to do. I tend to be a masochist.<br><br>
Finally, no one should feel obligated to give 120%, but I am (fuck, I have nothing better to do. school - run - eat - sleep - sex) Anyone else who wants to, I'm holding out my hand. Brick walls in the forms of other teams are only put in the way to show us how much we want what's on the other side. We'll smash through it together!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
-that's my lil inspirational speech<br><br>
-Zackypooh<br><br>
and in the immortal words that echo through Team rUnbeatable...<br><br>
go team! go!
