Ultimately it will be painful – i promise

15 Pax posted in the gloom for a test-weinke known as the Ultimate Relay.  Some tweaks to be done for future versions.

We take a slow mosey across the parking lot, and then we circle up.

 

COP:

  • Squat x 15 IC
  • IW x 15 IC.
  • Merkin x 15 IC
  • Side Crunch x 10 IC, Flap jack, Side Crunch x 10 IC

 

Partner up, and mosey past the rock pile (pick up 1 rock per pair) and gather up at the parking lot light pole.  We carry the 2 puke buckets to the far light pole for further instructions.

Here’s the deal:  Each bucket includes ~20-25 exercises – partner 1 draws an exercise, sprints (!) to the far light pole, performs the exercise, and returns.  P2 repeats the cycle, and then they begin the next round with a newly pulled exercise.

 

The key to this workout is pushing the run throughout the time period – if you’re bored waiting for your partner to return, you’re not pushing the run hard enough.

 

This continues …. Forever.

 

As time closes up we mosey back to return the rocks, and stop enroute to circle up and go through the cards one more time – with no running in between.  Easy.

 

That’s all we got.

 

Moleskin

Was fun to test a new format….working at speed…presumably.

Disappointed that the pain level was not what I had hoped.  Old Man anger has not been quenched.

Stole this idea from a camp in California I attended/observed this summer.  A group of D1 athletes did this across a football field for a little over an hour – there was much delirium, crawling, gagging, a few KO’s.  I thought to myself: “Brilliant idea for F3”.  Have had it in my purse ever since.  Will need some tailoring to recapture the pain I witnessed in CA.   Be patient.   Since I was in a triple, I had to try to keep up with Cane on all the runs – not good.
