D10 Decathlon...

I participated in a decathlon (10 events) in Cambridge on Saturday July 22 as part of a team. The D10's 10 events which are (in order): 400m run, Football throw, Pull-ups, 40yd dash, Dips, 500m row, Vertical jump, 20yd shuttle sprint, Bench Press, 800m run. I did my best.
My friend Bryan's 8 year daughter Alexa was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on July 29th 2016. In his own words: ''Alexa has been doing fantastic and fighting hard through her treatments. I know that all of my training won't compare with how much she has had and will have to endure until September of 2018 when her treatment is targeted to end. I will give it all I've got for her on July 22nd. #LexiStrong

We raised $30,000!

D10 Decathlon Results
Order of events:
400m - 1:10 (only 6 seconds off my PR!)
Football throw - 37 yards
Pull-ups - 22 (4 or 5 no reps)

45lb Hill Plate Carry...

45lb hill plate carry. 1.23 miles - 24:17. Tough as hell especially since it's impossible to find a comfortable carrying position for the plate. I had it in front of me, on my shoulders, I held it overhead, I switched hands. Everything hurts! Just me, the 45lb plate, Chuck Taylors and my hill.
