KB Pentathlon Returns to Foxhole

KB Pentathlon Returns to Foxhole

14 pax braved the cool temps this morning to stare down the barrel of the KB Pentathlon. This test was devised by Tiger Rag in March 2015 as a standardized test for meatheads. Original preblast can be found here.

No time for warm up, so let’s get to it:

• 1H Swings x 6 min.  3 min recovery
• Snatch x 6 min.  3 min recovery
• Press x 6 min. 3 min recovery
• Clean x 6 min. 3 min recovery
• Racked squat x 6 min. 3 min recovery

Score = (#Reps) x (Adjusted KB Size) where Adj. KB Size = Wt of Bell (in kg) / 8.

EX:  100 swings with a 24 kg bell = (100 reps) x (24 kg / 8) = 300 pts.

Scoreboard:

Announcements:

• Sign up for the Joe Davis Run! Link is here.
• Foxhole is adding some extra credit: 0500 pre-run/ruck and 0520 KB form clinic. Extra credit will be pre-tweeted and pre-Slacked, so confirm before posting.

Moleskine:

• Great to have a big crowd out there this morning. We had 3 #kotters in Loogie (coming back from injury), Gomer Pyle (coming back from the fartsack), and Band Aid (also fartsack).
• We also welcomed 2 FNGs: Hair Net (Ethan S.) came with Band Aid. He recently graduated from Ardrey Kell and is working two food service jobs, hence the fitting nickname. Gump (Mike F.) works as a Tax Manager with Madame Tussaud, who EH’d him and then didn’t post with him. Gump went to school at NC Central in Durham and has recently returned to NC after living in New York. Welcome to both of you and great work on a challenging workout.
• As can be seen above, Argonaut absolutely crushed the field this morning. #shocker YHC was a distant second, which I will attribute to the fact that (i) he’s stronger than me and (ii) he’s 10 years younger than me. That puts him at #3 in the lifetime F3 KB Pentathlon Leaderboard, behind Chanel and Tiger Rag. #legends
• Argonaut also posted for a solo pre-run and then led the form clinic. #tclaps
• JRR Tolkien posted at Foxhole after posting a PR at the Kiawah Marathon this past weekend. YHC would have slept in for about a month after that accomplishment, but JRRT is a glutton for punishment. #strongwork
• Frehley’s modified as necessary and mixed in some pull-ups at the end. A strong performance by our resident War Daddy.
• Please chime in with anything I’ve missed. If I missed your counts and you want to be added to the leaderboard, please let me know. I’ve got a spreadsheet with everyone’s reps that I can share if anyone is interested. #nerd
