Warm-O-Rama

16 Showed up. Broken up into 3 (pretty even) teams. Mosey with some dynamic stretches as the rules of the game were explained. 10 events total. 9 individual and 1 team event. Each team could have 1 PAX represent them per event. Every PAX had to represent their team at least once and no PAX was allowed to go more than twice (ie: Serena could not run every event for his team).  Every team grabbed 1 sandbag to run with during our downtown tour & 2 of the teams grabbed at 20lb slam ball to carry.

The Thang

Mosey to the covered bridge for the first 3 events:

  1. Dead Hang. Winner = Glenn (team Serena)
  2. Run around the hill. Winner = Serena (team…duh, Serena)
  3. Wall Sit. Winner = Gordons (Team Smokey)

Mosey to the parking garage for the next 3 events:

  1. Broad Jump. Winner = Gordons (team Smokey)
  2. 40 yard sprint. Winner = Gamecock (team Bjorn)
  3. Balls 2 wall hold. Winner = Cable Guy (team Serena)

Mosey to the base of the hill to finish:

  1. 43 Burpees (as fast as possible with a moderator from another team counting your reps). Winner = Cable Guy (team Serena)
  2. 43 Sandbag overhead tosses (same- for speed, moderated). Winner = Smokey (team Smokey)
  3. Ball Throw for distance. Winner = Gamecock (team Bjorn)

Team Event: From the Riverwalk to the top of the hill- Sandbag plank pull throughs. Winner = Team Bjorn

Right around 5:55 and since 3 PAX from 3 separate teams had all won 2 events, PAX demanded a Battle of the Champions.

Battle of the Champions. Base of hill.  Gordons, Gamecock, Cable Guy.  5 Burpees, 10 sandbag overhead tosses, Sprint to the top of the hill.  Grand champion: Gamecock.

 

 

Circle of Trust

With so many PAX taking the week off, why not have a little fun and mix it up.  We’re all good at different things, so hopefully everyone got a chance to mumblechat, get after it a bit, and get a little bit better.  Get some coffee and dominate the day.

Prayers for Snart’s student fighting cancer, and for those unspoken.

Naked Man Moleskin

More of a have fun and get after it kinda day than a wreck your body/crush your soul kinda day.  PAX seemed to enjoy themselves. Couple blowouts in the challenges, but a couple really close ones too.  Fun shakeup at the end to have a battle of the champions.  Enjoy the day men!
