Record: 32
Champion’s quote: “I could have gone even longer, but I saw a memo on the board that looked important, and when I read it I discovered that it was a page from the Bulletin. It wasn’t really fair. Someone at the home office snuck actual useful information into the Bulletin just to trip me up. I’m still really proud of my achievement, but I know I can do better. I’m never going in the break room again. It’s too risky.”
