Welcome Week and Campus Recreation: The Amazing Race 2.0 was ... A-MAZ-ING!
Above: Welcome Week Amazing Race 2.0- all 8 teams at the starting line. More pictures on the USD Facebook page!Click HERE for the quick recap VIDEO or visit the Campus Recreation website.
As September 5th approached, there was some excitement in the air about Fall 2012 and Welcome Week. Welcome Week is a series of jam-packed events designed to not only get new students connected and exploring their new community, but also to welcome back returning students in a fun and energetic way. Campus Recreation hosted four Welcome Week events including; Sports Games Gym Night 9/10, Glow in the Dark Frisbee 9/11, the USD Amazing Race 9/14, and the 2x2 Beach Volleyball Tournament as part of Outdoor Adventures Sun, Surf, and Volley 9/15. Last Spring, Campus Recreation hosted the first ever Amazing Race. We had an a-maz-ing time and received such positive feedback, that we now want to make this a tradition! The USD Amazing Race is basically a foot-race/scavenger hunt all over campus. Teams of four competed in various challenges at different offices and locations all over campus. Teams started and ended at the Sports Center. Some challenges were physical while others required a lot of brain power to get through. Teams had a good time particularly in CHWP’s alcohol awareness challenge and the Women’s Center team builder activity (check out the video linked below for some hilarious group action shots). At the very end of the race, teams had to jump in the pool, which was no problem since the temperature that day was in the high 90’s! Congrats to the Blue Team (Kyle Warren, Charles Blase, Michael Desciscoilo, and Joe Caito) who took home the grand prize for the upper-classmen division (Target gift cards), and to the Red Team (Scott Beaudoin, Courtney Burke, Tommy Burkhard, and Alexis Rinker) who took home first place for the freshman division (gift cards to Ralphs).Thank you to all teams and sponsoring departments/offices who participated! We had a blast organizing this and hope to continue this next year!

INTRAMURAL UPDATE
Welcome back to another fun and exciting year of USD Intramural Sports. Leagues have kicked off and are in full swing.
Dodgeball started league play in a roar as many of the games saw close matches and leading to “Duals”. Pictured right is the start of a dual to declare the winner of one of the games; “Trap House” vs “San Juan Warriors”. All of their matches were extremely close and a winner could not be decided with the series being split 5 to 5. We picture a rematch in the playoffs for these two teams.
!
Defending champions “Notorious DIG” in the Co-Rec Volleyball league continue their dominance. They have yet to lose a match this season and don’t seem to be slowing down. “Unprotected Sets” are right on their heels though. Pictured left is “Unprotected Sets” going for a power spike against “Sloth’n”. This match came down to a third game with “Unprotected Sets” pulling off the best of three.
DODGEBALL BACK IN DA-ACTION!
VOLLEYBALL REVS UP FOR A NEW SEASON

GRAD/LAW INTRAMURAL SOFTBALLThe Grad/Law softball league is 4 weeks into the regular season. This season we have 24 teams comprising of law students, graduate students, and even a faculty team. The new softball participants are quickly learning how serious we here at USD take our intramural softball and the returning teams are vying for a favorable seed for the 16 team playoff that will be taking place in November. Softball on Thursday nights has been a great way for our graduate and law students to unwind a little bit from the riggers of school and to let loose a little bit. Feel free to come down to Manchester Field on Thursday nights from 7:00 p.m till 11:00 p.m. to check out the action! If you are interested in putting a team together for next semester, please contact Derek at [email protected].

FITNESS FRENZY NEW FITNESS PROGRAM COMING SOON
Hey Kitness Kiends!
Be sure to check our next USD REC newsletter for a REALLY exciting addition to the Kitness programs we offer.
*Program and pertinent information revealed soon …
THE TRAINER’S CORNERBREAKFAST: THE MEAL OF CHAMPIONS
No time for breakfast in the morning? You may want to reprioritize your schedule.
The word breakfast breaks down to “break” “fast”. When you sleep at night, you put your body into a fasting mode, which tells your body to hold onto everything you have because you are not going eat for a while. Consequently, your body starts to store what you have previously eaten. Once you eat again, your body resumes using food as fuel rather storing for later.
The following is an excerpt from WebMD about breakfast and weight gain.
“Break the Fast to Shed the Pounds
Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but the practice is more likely to cause weight gain than weight loss. Skipping breakfast is strongly linked to the development of obesity. Studies show that overweight and obese children, adolescents, and adults are less likely to break the fast each morning than their thinner counterparts.
According to research, skipping meals, especially breakfast, can actually make weight control more difDicult. Breakfast skippers tend to eat more food than usual at the next meal or nibble on high-‐calorie snacks to stave off hunger. Several studies suggest that people tend to accumulate more body fat when they eat fewer, larger meals than when they eat the same number of calories in smaller, more frequent meals. To teens, especially teenage girls, skipping breakfast may seem like a perfectly logical way to cut down on calories and lose weight. [However] it's the most important meal of the day because of the role it plays in maintaining good health and preventing obesity.”
When you kick-‐off your day by eating breakfast before your Kirst class, early workout, or a meeting, you will Kind you are more alert and ready to embrace the day. You will also notice your energy level rise and you will be able to sustain what you are engaged in longer. There are many different breakfast meal options, but the take-‐away is to eat and fuel your body to promote health and successful weight management.
