Beautiful 30 degree morning.  23 other PAX started arriving around 4:50, eager to get The Reindeer Games kicked off.

6 teams of 4 were formed.  Each team picked out a sled and loaded up their coupons.  Each sled had a 10 yard rope attached.  1 member from the team would run out the slack of the rope and pull the sled to them while the 3 other PAX performed exercises.  Once the sled had been pulled all the way out run back to team then bearcrawl out to the sled.  Rinse and repeat, rotating exercises, until the sled reached the hill.

We’re starting the Reindeer games so I thought a team based workout would be fitting. I found a quote last night, Teamwork: simply stated is less of me and more of we.
I’ve always enjoyed team based things, i feel it keeps me more accountable. I felt I had to do my best for my teammates, my brothers.  I think that’s what keeps bringing me back ITG.
Let’s remember the basis of this competition is to keep us coming, but know your limits. Push yourself as much as you can, but don’t over do it. It’s not worth it.  Let get better these 43 days, not worse.
Another Q with too many instructions, I know.  I think we all got it though.  I wasn’t sure the sleds would hold up, when 5 Putt brike the handle on theirs on the first pull I thought for sure it’d be a mess.  I think it went well after that.  Thank you for joining me this morning, I think we all got a little better!  SYITG
