first_imgBefore arriving on campus, Notre Dame students will be required to provide a specimen for a COVID-19 PCR test, the coronavirus response unit said in an email Wednesday.Students will be mailed a home collection kit to their current place of residence by LabCorp, who will process the results. Specimen collection will be staggered depending on when students plan to arrive on campus, and by July 15, all students will be notified by when they must complete their test.“The kit package will include a set of instructions for how to collect a home specimen from the anterior nasal passage and how to send it back to LabCorp for processing,” Christine Caron Gebhardt, assistant vice president for student services and Tracy Skibins, senior director of emergency management, said in the email.The specimen must be returned to a FedEx Drop Box on the same day as collection. Otherwise, it cannot be processed and students will be charged a $75 replacement fee.LabCorp will provide University Health Services (UHS) with the results, and once they are confirmed, students will receive an email to view the test results. Students who test negative will be cleared to return to campus.“UHS will let Residential Life know the on-campus students who are cleared to return to campus, though test results will not be shared,” the email said. “Students moving on-campus will receive a confirmation email from Residential Life confirming their move-in appointment.”Students who test positive may not return to campus even if they are asymptomatic, and UHS will contact these students for clearance.“If you become ill with symptoms of COVID-19 or are exposed to someone with COVID-19 between the time of your test and your arrival, you must delay travel and contact your health care provider for evaluation,” the email said.Tags: coronavirus response unit, COVID-19, pre matriculationlast_img read more

Black Toenails, Vaseline, and Duct Tape: The Secrets of Adventure Racing

December 30, 2020

first_imgIt was one recent Monday afternoon at the gym, and I was bent over studying the recent demise of my feet. I prodded several blisters that I had popped the previous day and marveled at the blackened toenails that I sport pretty much year round; a byproduct of my chosen sport. While I’m performing this inspection, some guy next to me gags (maybe a little exaggeration) and says something like, “My God! What happened to your feet?”I smiled and responded cheerfully. “Did an adventure race over the weekend.”He shrugged and looked again at my toes.I started to explain that I’d just spent 32 hours at a race in Northern Georgia in sub-freezing weather. At one point I had spent 14 painful hours with my rear end on the seat of a mountain bike, pushing and sliding through snow in weather that never got above 30. I considered adding that blisters generally came with the territory in most cases, but these here were more likely the effects of trekking through snow for 16 more hours. By this time I noticed that he had opted to move a little further down the bench away from me and my feet.I have to admit this wasn’t the first look of confusion, dismay, or incident where someone, upon inquiring about the sport I love, treated me more like a Leper than an endurance athlete. Often when I first meet people and tell them that I’m an adventure racer, they smile and nod their heads like they know what I’m talking about.Sometimes they say things like “Yeah…I’ve heard about those things.” Or “Isn’t that kind of like a triathlon?” Or maybe they don’t say anything at all and just look at me with a mild curiosity. That‘s typically when that mild curiosity turns to apathy.As I think about this now, it occurs to me that their lack of understanding probably stems more from my own inability to articulate and describe the sport I love, than some ineptness on their part. So now I sit and ponder, thinking ‘what is Adventure Racing really about’.Adventure racing is being around a bunch of people who are fit and strong and a little twisted. These people tend to like it when their knees bleed and they have mud on their legs, on their glasses, in their teeth, and on their bike. If after a race, they aren’t bent or broken, mangled, sprained or bloodied, they feel like they didn’t get their money’s worth. They’d rather have their butts on the seat of a mountain bike climbing some torturous hill from hell, than in a first class seat on some jet going somewhere (unless of course they’re flying to their next adventure race). These people feel like slugs when they only get an hour workout in a day and they believe muscle cramps are just God’s way of telling them they are still alive!They’re generally a resourceful lot that can speak intelligently about many obscure topics. This may include:116 different uses for Duct tapeThe countless benefits of carrying Vaseline with you during a raceHow long AA batteries in a head lamp will last in 30 degree weatherThey often speak in a language foreign to most normal people. Words and phrases like TAs, Sevvies, hard tails and soft tails, Camelbaks, and azimuths are common in their conversations. They also possess skills unknown to most like:Knowing how to use a chain breaker at nightKnowing how to turn an old fishing rod and surgical tubing into a bike tow assemblyUnderstanding the sophisticated techniques to duct tape a flashlight to the top of a bike helmetUnlike many people they gain pleasure from some of the simpler things in life. Things like:That wonderful first drink of cold water after a long trekking legThe sheer ecstasy of finding a wadded-up peanut butter sandwich in their backpack when they thought they had run out of foodThe unadulterated joy felt when your teammate offers you a dry pair of socks after you’ve fallen into a ditch filled with cold water The soothing calm felt after applying a liberal dollop of Vaseline to a raw spotThe sport of adventure racing has given me the opportunity to travel to places and see things I would have otherwise missed in my life. I’ve seen the amber haze of the sunrise as it spills over snow-capped mountains of northern Georgia. I’ve seen farmers, men, women, and children in rural parts of China stand alongside poorly developed roads and cheer me and my team as we traveled through their villages by bike and by foot. I’ve watched the sun melt into the horizon of the mountains of west Texas. I’ve marveled at the beauty of an east Texas swamp under a December full moon.I’ve run or biked with deer and wild hogs and turkeys, and porcupines. I’ve paddled alongside alligators and nutria rats and been chased by bees and wasps and an assortment of other insects. I’ve gone three days without sleep and witnessed some of the most incredible hallucinations on that third day.I’ve witnessed the courage of team mates and others as they struggle to continue on with races, hobbled by broken collar bones, sprained or bloodied knees, fever and chills, vomiting, and diarrhea. All these experiences have marked me; made me a little different.But when I think of adventure racing, and why I do it, I most often think of my teammates and the trials and tribulations we go through together.Adventure racing is about the relief one feels as you struggle up a never-ending hill, worn out and downcast, wondering if you’ll make it to the top, and you suddenly feel the weight of your pack lifted off your shoulders by one of your team mates. It’s climbing up a rock slope on all 4s carrying your bike on your shoulder and getting to the top and seeing a team mate struggle with theirs. And it’s taking a few deep breaths and summoning the strength to slide back down the hill to help them.It’s having the feeling that you can’t put one foot in front of another, and a teammate placing a reassuring hand on your shoulder in support. It’s coming off a bitterly cold paddling leg and shivering uncontrollably with few dry clothes to change into and your teammate offering without hesitation, a dry shirt or pair of socks or gloves. It’s watching a teammate crash on their bike hard and getting up and fighting back the tears and climbing back on that monster again to press on; fearful of slowing the team down.It’s about pulling and pushing each other to levels that you’d not have thought possible for you to physically achieve individually. It’s running and pulling your slower teammate at a pace you shouldn’t be able to maintain and hearing them challenge you and the team to keep going, all for the sanctity of the race. It’s the almost cosmic feeling of going faster and harder as a team than you thought possible. It’s seeing your nearest competition in the race on your tail and the three or four of you, your team, suddenly becoming one stronger, faster force.It’s watching and feeling the total sense of unity as your team succeeds, and it’s sharing an equal responsibility when you do not. It’s a sport where the strongest of the team is only really as strong and fast as the slowest member, forcing the Team to focus and excel as one unit. It’s a sport characterized by a myriad of changing human dynamics and moods within a race. One person emerges as the strength of the team only to be replaced by another who grows stronger. It’s where you can in one moment be almost paralyzed with desperation and a second later be driven to great heights because you just found a Hershey bar or a handful of trail mix to eat.It’s about screaming and cursing each other over not being able to find a checkpoint, or over losing the passport or just because you’re tired and worn down and filled with frustration. And it’s about freely bantering among the team with liberal spattering of expletives and then hugging each other at the end with those obscenities forgotten.It’s asking your teammates for something, for anything, and knowing without a doubt that they’ll give it to you if they have it to give.last_img read more

Gambian Victory Leaves Thousands Unhappy

January 14, 2020

first_imgWAFU Champions: members of the victorious Gambian U-20 team Celebration Rocks BanjulThe Gambian U-20 National Team was not counted among the favorites, but at the end of the WAFU Zone ‘A’ Championship (April 24-May 6) it was the Gambians that laughed last.They defeated Liberia’s U-20 Junior Lone Star 2-1 in a match that saw expectation and hope for victory, and then finally tears on the other hand and joy and celebration on the other, especially in Banjul, The Gambia.Gambia’s victory could only be described as a surprise because from the beginning of their campaign against Guinea on April 25; against Senegal on April 27 and then against Mali on April 29 they were so low keyed that their little results and goalless draws did not draw any attention to the unseen challenge they posed to the championship title.It was only when they eliminated La Cote d’Ivoire on penalties in the semi-finals that serious attention was given to them, but by then the tournament was almost over.Stunned soccer fans could not believe what was going onSo it occurred that at the end of a grueling 90 minutes in the final, thousands of Liberian fans could only take consolation in tears because of the loss and pain that accompanied the match, especially after many chances were wasted and Junior Lonestar players could not convert any into goals.Junior Lone Star’s players for the match were goalkeeper Ashley Williams, G. Kouyateh, D. Paye, Jeremy Saygbe, Benjamin Doe, Sekou Sherif, Allen N’Jie, John Saysay, Sam Jackson, Musa Kebay, and Edward Ledlum.Though Junior Lone Star’s strikers showed great ambition, they became their own enemies because of over-anxiety. There was one such occasion when immediately following the kick-off the Gambians  lost the ball to Liberian striker Musa Kebay, who after receiving a clear pass and with only the Gambian goalkeeper to beat, shot wide.This was in the first minute. Interestingly, the Gambians showed him how to do it when in a counter-offensive they secured their first goal to the surprise of the anxious home fans. Many of them could not believe what they were seeing!The game proceeded thus, with the Gambians on top and the Liberians struggling to get even. The situation would last for the rest of the first half of 45 minutes. The referee added three minutes, due to infringements and other stoppages.Junior Lone Star returned for the second session and in the first minute, evened the score; the stadium went wild. But after the goal, there were times the Liberian players did not have control over their game.Playing their usual game, the Gambians fought back and being apparently possessed with a mentality to win, pushed the Liberians on the defense.These two fellows entertained the crowd during the half timeThough the Liberians had secured their equalizer from a corner-kick, they had somehow lost their stamp of authority over the match and  against the run of play. The Gambians came on top to secure their second goal and increase the frustration of Liberian soccer fans.Junior Lone Star’s goalkeeper Williams at one point was limping back and forth, following a body-crash with a Gambian striker when he ventured to put a ball under control. And because he did not request to be replaced, he was allowed to remain in the post.As the minutes ticked away and the Gambians pushed their men up front, it was clear that Liberia would need a miracle to make a difference. Meanwhile, several frustrated soccer fans were calling on Jesus Christ to come and help. “Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus,” a young woman shouted behind me when the Gambians surged in attack towards the Junior Lone Star’s side of the field.Liberia’s efforts to get the equalizer could not materialize till the referee sounded his whistle to end the game.The Gambians had won the match 2-1 and are the new WAFU Champions!Before the final encounter, Mali had won 3rd Place with a 1-0 victory over La Cote d’Ivoire in a match that showed more strength than creative talent. The Malians scored their winner through midfielder Ousmane Diakite.It was a week of youth football that exposed the young talents to what they expect to encounter in future tournaments involving their countries. For Liberia, it has shown to sports officials the value of early preparation, with a commitment to provide all that is needed during arrangement for a tournament.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)last_img read more
