uber party. "the dirty dash"

hot pants crew.
mustache dash. get glooped.

Map.jpg

serious party time. the best part about this were these words, "let's all stay together and have a party." after the first 50 yards uphill in 5 inches or more of mud cody and i lost karen, tj, and aja. cody and i paced accordingly, so did those three. for me 6 miles is just a staple run, but i wore running flats to a trail run (great idea), so my calves blew up due to me having to land on the balls of my feet. cody and i fell up every hill and leaned back on every decline. time only allowing cody to prepare with a banana 40 minutes before the race made for a few walls hit, but that was expected. karen, tj, and aja did really well; karen taking 2nd place. this is something everyone should do just for a fun fitness experience.

Strength endurance

learning how to drop weight. after a long time of hearing "i dont really want to lift more than 95#," dustin has allowed himself to build a strength base. at this point in time we have noticed a lot of gains, but quite frankly the gains are long over due. with a solid strength base the progression will just be faster. watch out steve.
somehow on the last round he finds a way to put out 600 watts standing up.

a perfect example of what not to do after a workout. i went out thinking "i feel good; good enough to sprint on the row machine." clearly i was not being honest with myself. at 300 meters in my heart rate was at 212, continued to climb until i blew up. seriously listen to my advice and know your abilities.

some earn grey shirts, and two have earned black shirts. yesterday as tj and i sat around getting yoked out we discussed our passion for fitness (as counterintuitive as that sounds). during the discussion we both agreed that fitness is just a part of our lives, and not just about going to the gym, what ever gym that may be. while we focus on functionality, and health with or without a gym, others just show up. expecting a change to happen simply because you are here is ludicrous. tj exemplifies fitness within his life in and out of the gym. some will fail, some will leave, few will inspire. he is one of the few. party.

the idea for todays workout stemmed from my current frustration with rowing/aidyne, and watching everyone blow up after :30. i am a huge fan of digging a hole and not being able to get out of said hole, but very rarely does an individual gain much fitness from puking all over the place after holding a pace which is unsustainable. i ideally wanted everyone to maintain a pace within their 500 meter time that did not deviate any more than 15% (425 meters). i could only assume that maintaining a pace slower than the fresh 500 meter time was in store for everyone, but what percentage of that time i was unsure of.
today everyone struggled, and some did not recover. hopefully a lesson was learned by everyone today: pace yourself accordingly; rowing at an average of 1:29/500 is not sustainable for most. know your abilities, your pace, become more efficient, and build your strength. if you row a 1:40 500 meter, try to maintain a 1:40 the whole time.
shout out to tj for supplying the mess.
