Our test for Speed was the "egg carry race" done with lacrosse balls. This required a solid position and navigation skills, as the field had many mounds and potholes. The catch was that after the 100m egg carry everyone went again, this time sprinting the same course backwards.
It was a close event, but The Killah Beez came out on top.
The test of Power came by a standing medicine ball throw. The ladies would throw a 14# and the men a 20#. Zeb demonstrated the different techniques to chuck heavy loads long distances effectively, then we had everyone try some attempts. We asked each team to put forth their best four (two ladies, two dudes) and they would get build on each throw. The team covering the longest distance would win.
So much energy..
... that Nate falls
It was a good fight for everyone, but High Until Noon dominated the Power event.

Open Invite Trail Run This Saturday!
From Adam:
We'll be heading out to get some fresh air in the woods. It's not for time, it's for fun! The weather will be beautiful as we head to Coal Creek Park, which has historic mines, structures, multiple waterfalls and a creek. Everything is up to you, go at your own easy pace, walk the hills, don't do the whole thing (there's a smaller loop option at the first waterfall) or run as fast as you like.
We'll be meeting at the gym at 2pm and carpooling. Bring some water and maybe some snacks- it should be a fun time!
