Listening to 2 podcasts with Barkley Marathons competitors this week inspired me to try to bring a bit of that insanity to F3. With apologies to Laszarus Lake and all the tough as nails athletes who have attempted the real thing, here goes-
Warm-o-Rama
I promise I blew a conch at precisely 4:30. Apparently 23 pax heard it and were ready to go at exactly 5:30 AM
Mosey to an empty lot-SSH, Cotton Pickers, Windmill, Finkle swings
Mosey to the bus lanes
The Thang
The goal of Barkley is of course 5 laps. in 32 years only 15 men have achieved that goal. Our goal was also 5 laps. After a quick explanation of Barkley to the PAX, we jumped into it_
3-windsprints of 10 bus lanes.
run around the school to the top of the parking lot-40 gorilla humpers
run down the hill and and back up 3 times
run through the parking lot to the base of the stairs-40 Lunges 20/leg
Run up the stairs 3 times
Run around the school and back to the start-40 wall jumps
Lap 1 complete
Rinse and repeat
It was a good showing by all today. The whole PAX got 2 laps. Everyone but Manning missed the cutoff and had to hear the bugle on lap 3. Manning gets a Fun Run! Nomad got close, but touched the gate after time.
Mosey to the flag for Mary and Name O Rama-
Welcome Spanx and Serena!
