Hoola Hoop champion

It was my first week back at work after our holiday, and as soon as I sat down at my desk I was told I was in a hoola hooping competition!!!???. My immediate reaction was "Er No!!"., however after a little coaxing I was there with my competitive head on!!. There were 15 teams of 5, the obvious aim was to keep the hoola up for as long as possible. The best score so far was just under 2 minutes, therefore our team had alot to do. I was the last in our team to have a go, all the rest of my team mates scores ranged from 1 second to 10 seconds. The teams scores were averaged out & the highest score obviously won, anyway I began hoola hooping only thinking I'd average about 10 seconds, however after 5 mins I was still going????. My final score was 7 mins 30 seconds, I developed a right crowd of people cheering me on!!. I won pizza for the whole of my department. The next day it was the champion of champions final, so all the top scorers in each team had to compete. I was a bit nervous this time as everyone knew I could do it from yesterday, so I was under a bit of pressure, anyway again I began & finished at 8 minutes. I won, Ian thought I was gonna win a Nintendo Wii or PS3, however I won a beach bag,some flip flops & a Hoola Hoop!!!. I think that was rubbing salt in the wound, as I'd just returned from my summer holidays depressed!!!. So, there you go I've found out I can HOOLA!. The Centre Manager came to meet me on Friday & asked me to do it again so he could watch my action!!!!, I went very red, how embarrassing!!!.
