And So It Begins…

WEEK 1 DOG DAZE OF SUMMER.
Today began the start of the Day of Games’ 8 week Leisure Sports League which took place on the beautiful beach of Marina Del Rey.
This week’s game choices: horseshoes, paddleball (aka smashball) and triple jump.
As the sun was setting, team KANSAS was just beginning their domination.
Ringer after ringer, they kept racking up points as other teams like POUND TOWN and TEAM WANG’s chances in beating them grew slim.
Ouch. And another one bites the dust.
Next up, paddleball in 3 distances: short, medium and long. Using old school rackets made out of wood and either a tennis ball or a racket ball, each team really had to bring it, as only the top 3 scores counted.
It was harder than it looked, as the highest score made was 9 points.
What perfect form made by BUNGALOW H.
We were having so much fun that the neighbor came out to watch!
Last but not least, triple jump!
I don’t know if you know how to triple jump, but it was quite a sight as when triple jumping, the seacond leap has to be made with the same foot as your first jump foot. For example, if you jump off with your left foot, then you have to take the second leap with the left again so that finally, the third hop is finished off with your right foot. A screw up could mean automatic disqualification of that distance!
The pressures on…
Some stretching was needed in order to get this right!
Don't want to pull a muscle!
RAMROD is off and running!
What a landing!
As the day ended, Team KANSAS came out on top with a score of 44 points. Second was TOPDOG with a score of 33 points and coming in close to third was team BUNGALOW H with a 1 point difference of 32.
All in all, it was the perfect day to relax and engage in a friendly leisure sports competition.
Do you think you have what it takes to come out on top?
