Volleyball at Work – Nov 21,2008

Today was the Volleyball game final game at work. We were playing against "The Perfect Strangers" team which was an assortment of players from various groups in the company while we were all from the same product group. Individually, the opposition team players were good but they didn't gel well as a team and were lacking in communication. Since our team consisted of guys who worked with each other every day and have a lot of fun with each other, we were able to communicate well and that was the difference between the two teams at the end. We beat them in two straight games.

Game 1: 25 – 22

Game 2: 25 – 17

After the finals game finished, we played two more friendly games which our team again won !

Game 3: 25 - 12

Game 4: 25 – 13

Sunday Triple Play – Part 3 – Volleyball – Oct 27,2008

While I like running and going to the gym, there is nothing that matches playing a team game when it comes to fun and some exercise. I have been playing volley ball on and off for the past 6 months with a group of friends that I had since grad school. It's always a fun occasion when we all meet and play the beach volleyball. It's just a sand volleyball court in an apartment complex. We played about 4 games and I was happy to be in the winning team in all 4 games. One of the guys twisted his ankle and I almost hurt my leg but it's still worth it. What's a game without some injury.

This was the culmination of a busy weekend when I did cycling, gym and Volleyball ! A fun filled weekend for sure !
