6 PAX posted for Round 2 of the Classic PT Test at Ricky Bobby.  Here’s what I remember…

The Thang:

We started with some warmup.  It was fine.

Classic PT Test is:

  • 1 lap
  • 100 reps (as close to proper form as you’re able) of each exercise before moving to the next)
  • Merkins
  • Squats
  • LBCs
  • SSHs
  • 1 lap
  • 75 reps of same 4 exercises
  • 1 lap
  • 50 reps of same 4 exercises
  • 1 lap
  • 25 reps of same 4 exercises
  • 4 laps

After putting up a fast time in June, YHC was looking to prove it was no fluke.  With Defib there, the target was in place.  Now to execute.

First lap is quick, on to the Merkins.  Plan was 60/25/10/5.  Couldn’t get the 60.  Uh oh.  Struggled through the Merkins and watched Defib take off at a pace YHC couldn’t keep up with.

Looks like my soccer arms from running season caught up with me this time.  Runs were good though, and we all pushed hard.

Defib finished first, with a blistering pace, and as YHC was coming around for my last lap at the track, Defib shouted “Do you believe Iron Sharpens Iron?  Don’t let me catch you!”  And I didn’t.  Fastest lap of the day, and the earlier ones weren’t slow.  Top speed was faster than anything I’d hit on Lightning a week later.  So to answer your question, Defib, yes.  I believe it.

Times:

  • Defib – 25:55
  • Flintstone – 29:27 (+1:46 from June)
  • Mama’s Boy – 32:17
  • Kool Aid – 32:41 (-0:04 from June)
  • Buckshot – 32:42
  • J2C – 36:56 (+2:19 from June)

I guess that’s why we do these things… to see how things stack up over time.  All the more reason to keep pushing.

Solid work by all.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
