I can answer any questions about the actual event in the gym or via the comments. More info tommorow.

From our friends @ CF Football…

For time:

150 Push Ups

*Everytime you stop and rest with your chest on the ground this constitutes a penalty. If a penalty is counted, you must immediately sprint 40 yards. Once the penalty is completed continue with the push ups.

*You can rest in a pike position (the top of a push up) but once you can not do push ups any longer and need to rest on the ground, a penalty is counted and a 40 yard sprint must be completed.

Score = Total Time.

The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them. –Bernard Baruch
