The gods of drilling were unhappy. What they saw when they looked down from Mt. Form displeased them. So Corfu themselves, together with the lesser gods Acorn and Grunt, came down to demand tribute.
MVXC arranged a day of games to appease Corfu. The High Priest Flatow organized the drilling thusly:
- Using a great randomizer, the MVXC athletes would be divided into flights of eight that would be shuffled after each contest.
- In order, athletes would contest in all of the high drills:
- High knees
- Butt kicks
- Lunges and the three-step reach
- A-skips
- B-skips
- Cariocas of both the left and the right
- More lunges and three-step
- A stride the length of the sacred back stretch
- All drills would be judged by Lady Samantha and the Lords Smith and Curtis.
The team competed thusly, and what the judges saw was good. After all the drills were complete, Miranda, Ryan, Nick, Aaron, Anika, Katie, Margaux, Hemani and Darren were considered worth to compete in a great plank-off to determine who would care for Corfu, Grunt and Acorn. At the end, Nick held his plank the longest, followed by Katie, Anika, Miranda and Darren.
The gods were happy. All praise to the gods of the drills! Do not neglect them while you do your drills.
