The Most Difficult Mile – maybe

Leave a comment

12 men showed up at The Ranch. I made sure I emphasized “modify if necessary” when stating the disclaimer. We began with a mosey warm-up with stops at each light pole for exercises. We made our way to the front of Springfield Elementary for the workout instructions. Simple workout, 4 laps around the car loop.
1st lap – burpees broad jumps
2nd lap- lunges
3rd lap- bear crawl
4th lap- run

most finished the first two laps. We modified the bear crawl due to time.
Great job by all!

Ranch Relays

Leave a comment

Let’s try this again… slack doesn’t like my backblasts and the first one I wrote for this was may more epic-er
WARMUP: lap around CoT parking lot and circle up for stuff including SSH until first PAX quit – 51 to be exact

THE THANG:
Ranch Relay
Split into 2 teams to compete against each other in relay race where each team member took a turn to complete about a 30 yard out and back with a 45lb plate. While not doing the out and back the rest of the PAX completed various core work including LBCs, flutters, shoulder taps, and Freddy mercuries.

First race – mode of transportation was overhead rifle carry

Second race – mode of transportation was right handed suitcase carry

Third race – mode of transportation was left handed suitcase carry

Fourth race – mode of transportation was overhead rifle carry

After each race PAX took a break from racing with 5 burpees OYO

Tie goes to the Q and thus my team was crowned the inaugural Ranch Relay champions

After relays, we moseyed to the car line loop near the entrance to the other school.

We did an accumulating ladder with laps around the pickup line loop except we scaled the retaining wall on each lap.

5 burpees
10 merkins
