2014 River Ruckus 4/26 - Team Comp

All 4 of our team members competed in the Individual Saturday and came back for more on Sunday.  While Kate & I have done this a handful of times it was the first time our men have doubled up.  They did a great job and we had a blast!

Event 1:
Rick & I did the
10 minute AMRAP
10 pull-ups
10 Burpee Box Jump Overs
Partners alternate after each round.  I finished 6 rounds & Rick got into a couple burpees on his 6th round.  We took 6th overall which was our worst finish of the day.

Kate & Corey were outside doing a 3 RT wheel barrow push-up goblet squat deal and took 5th.

Event 2:
4 min AMRAP snatches 135/95 (2 bars per team, 1 man, 1 woman at a time)
4 min AMRAP DUs
4 min AMRAP Calories on the rower..each partner must row for 1 minute.

Kate & I were ripping off TnG snatches for the whole first minute and then also did well in the DUs.  I was definitely the weak link of the 4 on the row, but we held our own for a 2nd place overall.

Event 3:
Sandbag relay with short sprints up & down the track.  We'd sprint anywhere from 60m down & back to 10m down & back without the SB and then pick up the SB and squat it 5x and lunge it 4 steps until we covered 10m and then the next person would go.  Unfortunately Kate's hamstrings were not quite ready for the sprinting and she strained it on one of the final sprints.  We still held on for a close 5th overall in the event.

Final Event....was a marathon or at least it felt like it to organize and get going, but it was fun once it started.  It was an elimination final where we started with 10 teams then went down to 8, 6, and 4 to the final round.  Each round had a buy in Rnd 1 it was 30 HSPU/30 DLs @ 185, then it went down by 5 reps 25/20/15 for the next rounds. From there it was bar MUs, sled pulls, thrusters (135/95), sled pull with 1 male/1 female and then switch.  Ended up being 4-8 minutes b/w each round depending on when you finished.   We went 1st or 2nd in each of the 4 heats to finish in 2nd overall to a team with 3 regional qualifiers none of which competed on Saturday.

So finished the weekend with a 1st Individual & 2nd place Team.  Good times had by all!
