I know most of the 6am crew is taking the day off tomorrow but provided it isn't too cold when I wake up tomorrow I'm planning on the KB workout around 6:30am.
Ouch! It took a long 53 minutes flat, 16kg, with a short intermission to chat with Dawn.
Did you guys chat about being on American Gladiators?
44:48 for the KB workout. Killer on the shoulders. Hopefully the tire-sized oatmeal cookie I ate will expedite my recovery.
Greg, when I have Pam's attention (aka she can't leave) I'm inclined to preach the gospel of American Gladiator. Today's sermon was from the book of Application Submission, with focus on quality bjj footage that should be included in the highlight reel.
That topic might have come up in casual conversation, although it was followed up with an arguement on time penalties.
Dawn, my shoulders are equally as sore, and I suggest eating a little more than an oatmeal cookie. Nice job on the time though.
Clarity on penalty enforcement taken from an online news source (net result: we were right, Pam)
"Also, where did the time penalties go in the Eliminator? There are two back-to-back sections that could end up with the contestant failing and falling down to the mat: a column that competitors must hold on to as it rolls down an incline (taken straight from "Ninja Warrior"), and the classic hand bike. In either example, a falling contestant can simply get up and run to the next obstacle. In the classic "American Gladiators," he or she would have been held by the umpire for five seconds before being allowed to move on. Either the penalty doesn’t exist, which is stupid as it gives someone a reason not to finish the hand bike and simply give up and perhaps improve their time; or NBC has cut away from the penalty enforcement and never mentioned it, which does fit the values they have shown so far in their production quality. "
I don't like in power ball how contenders can throw the balls into the basket. It takes away from the difficulty of having to get past the gladiator.
The BJJ footage would be good. Apparently they had the top women's grappler in the nation on the second episode.
I missed that one, but one of the Gladiators is a Women's MMA fighter, she's pretty good too!
I would tend to agree, but throwing the balls into the baskets sure beats a hard shoulder to the chest.
We've already decided that they'd pair me up with Helga, and that scares me a little bit.
Woowhoo! No time penalties!
Pam- Helga has the agility of a turtle. She's the least of your concerns.
