March Madness...Round 1 was stEPIC

stEPIC
FitBit March Madness

Wow.... Just wow... Round 1 of FitBit March Madness was completely maddening!   HCS employees went head to head competing to take more steps than their opponent in a 24 hour period.  

Karen Baggett answered the phone a SCES while stepping on a treadmill.


Lori Sills had a similar plan at HKES.


HMS teachers walk together at the community garden, I caught up with them on my way to HBOE and made sure they were hydrating.


HHS students made posters to support Jana Watts who battled against Ben Berguson.



Rick Baguley steps out in the rain, after dark while his opponent-Paul Harbin is walking all over the city of Homewood on his way to a 60,000 step day!

Here are a few of the highlights of one of the stEPIC battles that occurred on Friday.
12:01AM-Joel Henneke's alarm clock sounds.   He begins marching.  
5:00AM-Genie Christian completes an Iron Tribe workout at HHS and a big number of steps.
6:07AM-Step score update:  Joel-22,742  Genie-13,490
7:00AM-Joel boards a bus on a road trip with HHS choir to Indianapolis, Genie steps up and gets a HUGE lead at SCES during a day of stepping and teaching
9:16PM-Genie has 65,010 steps.  Joel is WAAAAY behind with 46,296 steps.  Joel texts this picture to me..

Joel checks in to the hotel and begins stepping.
Then this happens...

Joel won the showdown.  Amazing battle, awesome accomplishment for both of those competitors.  Genie set a goal to get 65,000 steps.  It was a personal goal that she set and she went and got it.  Joel set an alarm clock with a goal in mind.  He went and got it.

Step Stats from Rd 1 including all employees competing (86 participants):

  • Total Steps- 2,048,069
