The Team Workout

Yesterday's workout was a team workout.  There were an even amount of girls and guys at the gym last night, so it was decided that we would compete in those respective groups.  My team was comprised of some of the strongest, quickest, determined women I know.  We put up a good fight against the guys and we were confident that we could win the workout.

The Workout and Rules
100 Clean and jerk (75/115)
200 Bear crawls (approximately 48 ft)
100 Front squats (75/115)
200 Burpees
100 Pull-ups
200 Clean Balls (a med ball clean into a wall ball) (14/20)
100 Push-ups
500 Double unders
Three people at a time could be working while three rested

Our strategy was to go until we got tired

Let's Do This

5 of the 6: Candice, Ashley, me, Sara, and Katie

3-2-1- GO!!!!  Time to start the workout.  Candice, Sarah, and I are on the bars ready to go we rep out until we are tired then Katie, Ashley, and Leslie take over.  When they get tired we switch again.  Only 10 more Clean and jerks and we can move on.  We count them down 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, on to the next exercise.  The guys are beating us at this point, but it's OK we can catch them.  We knock out the bear crawls three at a time.  Each group taking its turn after one crawl.  We are not as tired as the guys and we are gaining ground.  Only 3 more to go and we are done.  We move on to the front squats and are beating the guys.  100 front squats are finished in no time.  Then the 200 burpees that seem to take forever.  We are pushing with everything we have, "Come on girls, we got this."  Finally, we finish and we are running to the pull-up bar hoping to extend our lead.  I knock out 10 and then rest and wait.  60 are done and I'm back on the bar, I knock out another 10 pull-ups and we have only 5 left. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, then we're up and running to do clean balls.  I'm resting, Katie knocks out 15, a total of 35 are completed and I'm back on the wall doing clean balls, 65 are done now, then 95.  We are almost half way there and the guys are gaining ground.  We continue to push and before you know it the exercise is complete.  Push-ups are next.  We knock them out 10 at a time.  The guys have caught us.  Time for double unders.  We are so tired.  My legs are completely gone but I along with my teammates continue to  push ourselves to the limit.  We want to win, we want bragging rights.  We push and push but the guys finish before us.  We continue and finish the workout in under 42 minutes.   Not bad, but we will get the guys next time.  Great job ladies, I'm honored to call you all my teammates.
