Sprints at the Saginaw Soap Box Derby

After mowing the lawn I felt like doing something else, so I headed out to the Saginaw Soap Box Derby to run some hill sprints.

I ran the hill 10 times from the finish line up to the starting line, walking back down each time for recovery. The track is 290 meters long and it took me a total of 42:38 with the running and walking. My legs are pretty tired to say the least.

Sunday Partners

Went in for the 11am this morning. What a beautiful day!

Warm-up

5 rounds

  • 1m Bottom Squat Hold
  • 1m Plank

WOD

I was teamed up with Brett and we destroyed (I think) this WOD.

  • 100 Burpees
  • 100mm Prowler (50m high and 50m low)
  • 100 Air Squats
  • 400m Sand Bag Run (40#)
  • 100 HR Push-ups
  • 5 minutes of Plank
  • 100 Wall Ball Passes
  • 150m Farmer’s Carry (45# DBs)
  • 100 Pull-ups
  • 100mm Prowler (50m high and 50m low)

Both partner could be working on rep counts at the same time, so that’s burpees, air squats, push-ups, and pull-ups. We split the prowler pushes in half so we each had equal time at the high and low pushes. The sand bag run and farmer carry were done together. For the planks we each did a minute twice and then each did 30 seconds. Our total time was 27:56. My time for the 50 burpees at the beginning was 2:33, a new low.

Finisher

I had no idea what weights to grab for the farmer’s carry but found out the girls had more than me when I got out there. So after a couple of minutes off I picked up the 60# DBs and did a 130m walk with them, which was a struggle. Next time I have to do a farmer’s carry I’ll know.
