Main Event 1: Suicides on tennis courts. Been a long time since we visited these. Recalled immediately that fenced sections are three courts wide, which worked out great.

Each run = Far sideline court 1, back; far sideline court 2, back; far sideline court 3, back.

Exercises upon completing each run = Plank jacks, shoulder taps, OH presses

Finished with one last run to far sideline court 3, Karaoke led the way.

Main event 2: Sprints on Ramp

Format: Similar to suicides – Sprint to first blue sign “Foul ball area,” walk back; Sprint to second sign, walk back; Sprint to third sign, walk back. We had time for only three, but everyone accelerated.

Mary: Stretched those hammies while they were warm.

Announcements: 3-Alarm event is on, just like every Tuesday. This week, there will be extended fellowship afterwards.

Prayer: Full House dad in hospital. H1N1 death in family and co-worker’s family.

Hope all have a productive week.

15 PAX showed to test their strength around the track 4 times. This was brutal but we all pushed ourselves and got stronger.

We started at 0515 with a few warm up exercises. Then it was on like Donkey Kong.

Lap 1 – broad jump burpee
Lap 2 – lunge walk
Lap 3 – bear crawl
Lap 4 – run

Most guys finished up right around the hour mark. We had 3 ruckers join for COT. Maybe we can do this again to see how guys improve. Or not!

COT then prayer.

Awesome job guys. Thanks for joining me in another stupid idea.
