It is a hot shower and a night's sleep in a warm bed later but I have not cleansed the wonderful memories of the experience that was our Memorial Day weekend of breaking the World's Record for Longest Petanque Marathon.
One of the most surprising things I noticed is that our level of petanque play did not diminish throughout the span of the event. In the evenings, we played just as well as if it were the day - in fact, perhaps a little better in the evenings (in my personal estimation).
The main concept of the success for this World Record Breaker is teamwork coupled with organization. As alternates switched in with active players on a regular schedule, through hot days and chilly nights -we all felt that tribal bond moving towards a clear goal.
The real heroes here are our volunteers who kept us able to complete the record. They fed us, looked after our health needs, kept us comfortable, and provided remarkable on-live video feeds, photographic evidence, and kept out spirits up. Thank you so much!
Looking at my hand, completed rubbed free of fingerprints from all of the boule throwing, I think I'll take a day off from playing boule - but you can be sure I'll be right back to my regular playing come Tuesday!
I invite those who participated and those who watched to send in any comments/feedback/questions.
