Endurance competition #1:
Line up on foul ball line along right field wall.
Bear crawl along wall as far as you can without faltering or resting.

Endurance competition #2:
Line up on foul ball line along left field wall.
Crab walk feet first along wall as far as you can without faltering or resting.

Moleskin:

The weather was chilly, and a brisk wind made things worse.

The #GridIron PAX is not accustomed to running, and the 200m brought out a few threats of mutiny. During the 7th 200m repeat, Earthworm surged ahead of DK of YHC for 40 glorious yards of high intensity sprinting. DK and YHC knew from past experiences that the surge would be fleeting, and we passed Earthworm about 3/4 of the way to the finish line as he slowed to nearly a walk.

At the end of the workout, we held an endurance competition to see who could bear crawl and crab walk the farthest. DK was the bear crawl endurance champ, crawling the entire length of the softball field wall. YHC was the crab walk champ, crab walking the entire length of the softball field wall in the other direction. Although we rarely compete like that at F3, I think everyone enjoyed it.

Calendar:
