In my 2nd season of division one Cross Country running at Oakland University, coach Paul Rice took us to a camp for a hard week of training.

Here are some of the things I remember from that week of pain:

• We had a talent contest where everyone had to display a talent
• I decided that I wanted to use my DJing skills and played a famous piano concerto behind a piano as I goofed off like I was playing it for real
• I cant remember everyones skills, but we started indoors and ended up taking it outside where people got up on this stage.  Billy any help here?
• When we first got there we did a long run into the woods and overlooking this bluff was one of the most beautiful swamps/lakes I have ever seen in my life.  I was in awe.
• We did a cool workout where we all raced as a team kind of like the great lakes relay
• Some people went skinny dipping I think.  Not sure
• I was DJ Willuz all week, cause I brought my portable MP3 player and some computer speakers that I returned at Meijers later.
• Kevin D. and I had lots of talks about how the team was always dicks to him.  He and I always confided in each other because other people werent always the nicest people to both of us.  Especially to him.
• On the last day we did a hill workout running up and down the sand dunes.  It was soo difficult and challenging.  And in the end people jumped into the lake.  (Some people jumped in completely naked too)
  

Next to band camp, this was the most fun I had in a camp in such a long time.  I got into ultimate shape and it was the best thing for that season because I ran a 27:50 8K!
