I walk up to the signup table and there is one team already created. I am presented with a decision to join the team or form a separate team all together. I choose the latter and say, "Team Olympia" I attempt to recruit soon after without success. So I choose to fill my Olympic belly with this fuel:
Now properly fueled, mingling starts to ring about the Geeks and Artists Olympic hall.
Here are the games that we competed gloriously in:
- Billiards
- Branding
- Beer Pong
- Cornhole(bags)
- Trivia
At this point "Team Olympia" roster fills and we take a team picture ( at least with everyone we could muster at the time).
Ecstatic group of G & A Olympians right?
After our team picture is in the bag, we start to break up into micro teams of two and take on the events. Throughout the competition we performed with confidence, iterated, took risks, made mistakes and some could say got "lucky" from time to time. Perhaps we resembled a startup at this point...
However, we did believe in one another consistently. We never faulted on that belief. At one point we had to stop apologizing to each other for mistakes and just perform to resolve. We kept with that formula and the games came down to a decision by the judges... the rest is history along with two growlers of Lager :)
