Death on the Stadium

On Friday Connor, Goebel and I decided to have some out on the stadium. As a three man team we set up a list of tasks that needed to be completed as fast as possible.
12 Buddy Carries up the Stadium
9 jump up the steps of the stadium and bear crawl down
run 400 meters
100 meters of lateral burpees
run 400 meters

Total time 28:09

This workout was a doozy. The buddy carries proved to be most difficult and set the tone for the entire workout. I cannot adequately describe the burn felt in the quads during the exercise. You have to do this one for yourself. On every carry the last 15 steps were brutal. The pace slowed and you just wanted to lay down and cry. The stadium hops were not too bad. I think all of us managed to do these unbroken. It was the bear crawls that were punishing on the quads and hip flexors. I did these unbroken, but it left me in a lot of pain. Connor and Goebel took a breather about half way down on each rep, but it was still a burner. The first 400m was a nice change of pace and it felt good to shake the legs out. Then we went straight into the burpees. These got the heart rate up and were not easy by any stretch. The lateral jumps made this classic exercise more difficult. We ended with one more 400m run and everyone was gasssed. Overall a great workout and we did not even touch a weight
