TTS 2 video & Are You Fit Challenge

TS just finished creating our team training session 2 video.  with the help of NS, they both did a great job in documenting the event:

there were about 10 participants during that day and the average time to complete this tough course was about 16 minutes.  i would have to say it was the best mini-prep training simulation of tough mudder that i have partook in.  TS did a great job with the programming:

for time
as you run a loop which is probably just short of a mile to a mile and a quarter, you encounter the following stations: (1) 20 burpees into thrusters, (2) barrel crawls, (3) large hill run, (4) 50 jumping jacks, (5) 135lbs/95lbs hang cleans, (6) 40 bicep curls-4 sprints-40 box jumps w/40lbs/20lbs vest, (7) 20 kettlebell swings (50lbs), and (8) 20 split jumps with 20lbs dumbbells.

to finish off the workout, we did a team run while each of us, individually, carried some form of weight.

if you check out the We Are Fit facebook page, you will also find content posted by DK as he conducts station #1.  moreover, TS is also hosting an event- the Are You Fit Challenge, on july 31 that challenges your fitness for approximately 4.5 miles of obstacles/exercises, while, most importantly, raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project.  if this interests you, hit up the facebook page or event page and message TS.  i already know it's going to be great, yet a tough preparatory training session for all three events i'm participating in this fall: (1) The Race for Tomorrow (w/AM), (2) Men's Health Urbanathlon: NYC (w/DK), and (3) Tough Mudder: Tri-State 2011 (which is 89% sold out for saturday as of now... just an fyi-heads up).

lastly, my company won our opening day basketball game this evening, so the shooting drills this morning definitely helped haha... winning feels good, not gonna lie.  definitely going to get some rest for tomorrow's training day- trying to go out with a bang before we have a 2 week layoff.  hope you all are enjoying the blog.

get involved w/or donate to the Wounded Warrior Project
