This morning, it was decided that our group needed a little more prep time before attempting the Maltz Challenge. We considered the components, specifically the pull ups and knees-to-elbows, and thought a bit more training might be in order, lest we all spend all day at the park.
Warmup was a quick mosey to mid-Loyola campus near the library. We did 20 x SSH and 15 x one legged arm circles forward and back.
We then mosey’d to ROTC zone where we broke into 4 groups: knees-to-elbows, dips, LBTs and decline planks. Count was 15 KTEs the first go round and then 10 on round 2. Then we contemplated what it might be like to have done 25 more. And then 50 pull ups.
We then mosey’d to the stairs at the Rec Center. We ran up the stairs and planked at the top. Then we ran down the ramps and at each level chair’d until the 6 arrived, and held for 10 seconds thereafter.
When we got done with that garage, we headed to Wolfpack Mountain. We again ran up the stairs and planked. At the top we did a potluck Mary. And then we ran down the ramps with BTTW at each level until 6 arrived, then held for 10 additional seconds.
We then headed back to the flag and arrived right at 0615.
We kept MSgt. Maltz in our minds as we prayed and ended. I look forward to completing his challenge one day soon.
