dodgeball world record

From 9 minutes before the finish...

The world record dodgeball match at the Washington Ave Armory finished up late this afternoon. The two teams -- Albany Dodgeball and Hometown Dodgeball -- smashed the record by playing for 31 hours, 11 minutes and 13 seconds.

Sebastien's posted a photoset from the finish. And Joe has a set from the 16-hour mark, including some stats (deodorant applications: 2).

I want to say congrats to both teams! I wanted to be there for finish but wasn't able to make it.

I spotted by to see the Crew with about 21 hours left and they were chugging hard. Those late night hours couldn't have been fun.

Congrats again on the Record!

Cant believe I woke up this morning and am going thru my normal routine, drinking my morning coffee and checking in on the ALB via AOA.

Congrats guys!! Way to make ASAP / SSAP and the rest of us dodgeballers proud!!

Having a child is indeed a second shot or at least a reminder of the magic of childhood. I thought of this yesterday and my 4 year old and myself rode figure 8's and generally raced all around the now empty parking lots of Sage, Albany College of Pharmacy and OPWDD on our BMX bikes. So many childhood 'far away' journeys are actually so close.
