    The “Thang”:

    In celebration of the newest addition to the Perrysburg Black Swamp AO arsenal, PAX participated in an F3 swim meet at the newly minted Municipal Park AO. The Swim Meet Consisted of 4 events:

    100m Freestyle: Bear Crawl
    100m Breast Stroke: Murder Bunny
    100m Backstroke: Crab Walk
    100m Butterfly: Burpee Broadjump (did not run due to time and slick conditions)

    Each round consisted of the following work:

    20 Jump Squats – Representing jumping off of the starting block
    25m MOT – Representing one lap of standard pool
    5 Burpees – Representing the flip turn at the end of the pool
    20 Flutter Kicks (4 is 1) – Representing the dolphin kick after a flip turn
    25m MOT
    5 Burpees
    20 Flutter Kicks (4 is 1)
    25m MOT
    5 Burpees
    20 Flutter Kicks (4 is 1)
    25m MOT

    PAX planked or picked up the 6 upon completion of a round before moving onto the next event.

    Ended with:
    Count-O-Rama: 12

    Spreadsheets from the Gloom: 5F wind-chill with a layer of ice and snow to make things extra crappy. This was a good idea, with decent execution. We didn’t have time to complete all 4 events, so things will need to be shortened or poeple will need to work faster. In the spirit of the theme I’d like to keep the distances the same, so perhaps lowering the rep. counts on some of the exercises would help. That, or just call the event after the first three PAX finish. There was a lot of mumblechatter going on during this one, so there’s opportunity for people to speed up. Other alternative would be to cut the distances in half completely in order to make room for the team medley relay event. It would be fun to decide legs based on individual PAX strengths and weaknesses and compete based on that.

    We dive into the playlist below:

    “Swimming Ground” – Meat Puppets
    “Nightswimming” – R.E.M.
    “Jump In The Pool” – Friendly Fires
    “Dive” – Nirvana
    “Going Under” – Evanescence
    “The Stroke” – Billy Squier
    “Kick Out The Jamps” – MC5
    “Float On” – Modest Mouse
    “Underwater Love” – Faith No More

    Always appreciate PAX getting out on terribly cold mornings and this was no exception.
