Who wants a new pet?!

February 7th, 2010, by Jennie

Was it just me, or was it really humid in the Fort yesterday? It was so humid that my hair started to get curly as I was watching the metcon. You guys must have been working THAT HARD!

In teams of 2 get as many reps as possible:
4:00  Sumo dead lift high pulls
4:00 Box Jumps (24/20")
4:00 Burpees
4:00 pull-ups
4:00 Row (calories)

*Each team must have a "pet rock". For the ladies, your "pet rock" is a 15kg plate, and for the men, a 25kg plate.

*One team member must be holding the "pet rock" while the other is working. You may not set down your pet, and you may not rest it on anything.

*There is a 5 burpee penalty for setting down your rock, or leaning against something while holding it.

All of our teams fell in love with their "pet rocks", and several of them asked if they could take them home. Alas, the pets had to stay at the Fort. Pete and Garth took the championship belt by accumulating an amazing 480 reps! Congrats you two! When everyone was adding up their scores, someone's comment to Garth and Pete was, "Wow, 480 reps? How many times did you guys go through it?" :-)

    That was pretty tough. Mark had to finish our teams last 2min worth of pullups cause I was busy trying to hold "Our pet" UP and my breakfast DOWN.
