And the winner is...
Congratulations to Rick Petzold (Team Rick) on winning the 2010 Ridicathlon!
Both competitors stepped up their game, and put on a great show for the fans. It came down to the final question during Milk Trivia to determine the winner.
Final Stats

Of course, as we've said before, the real winners are the kids! We managed to raise $500 for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Thanks to everyone who bought a shirt, made a donation, or just came out to support the event.

Ridic What!?
Ridicathlon is a combination of the words ridiculous, which the competition is totally, and decathlon, meaning it consists of ten events.
So the pronunciation would be RIDIC - ATH - LON.
Easy peazy!

Spotlight on: Maggie Hutchins
Congratulations are in order! Ridicassociate Maggie Hutchins has just completed her Masters program in Counseling in Educational Settings at Rowan University. She is one smart cookie, and looking for a job, so if you have any leads you know who to call. I caught up with the recent grad/bronzed goddess on the beach in Ocean City, NJ to work on our tans and talk about the most important event of the summer: Ridicathlon.
Loryn: How did you become involved with Ridicathlon?
Maggie: I was lucky enough to have the opportunity after someone else declined. I was honored to be asked.
L: You are a panelist for Evening Wear/Q&A. What special talents will you bring to judging this event?
M: I do have quite an eye for fashion. I know a good pair of shoes when I see them.
L: Besides judging Ridicathlon, what will you be spending your summer doing?
M: Besides slaving away to tourists at Browns I spend my free time on the beach. Nothing is better than sitting in the sun.
L: It has been rumored that your favorite color is yellow. Will this affect your Team decision?
M: This is true, my favorite color is yellow. However, I will be as professional as possible. No biased judging here.
L: If you had to compete in one of the Ridicathlon events, which one would you choose? Why?
M: That's a hard one. The only one I would probably enjoy is Evening Wear. But I do own boxing gloves.
L: What great wisdom do you wish to instill upon the competitors?
M: I'm not sure I have much wisdom to instill. I would just like to say remember we are all friends and no matter the outcome, it was fun.
Thanks so much to Maggie for taking the time to chat with me!
