Happy Birthday Matt Swift & Ian Botham!!
Main Group WOD
"Team Rower Challenge"
Each team is allocated 1500m to row per team-member (teams may be different sizes), eg a team of 6 people will be required to row 6 x 1500m = 9000m in total.
The individual distance that each team-member rows is entirely up to the team, and it may be a different distance for different team members. However, the minimum distance that needs to be rowed in any one turn is 250m, and the maximum distance that may be rowed in any one turn is 750m. Team-members must take turns in a sequential order and every member must row. After each turn on the rower, 15 burpees and a 20m farmers carry (M:20kg DBs F:15kg DBs) must be completed before that team-member is allowed back on the rower. Only one set of dumbells per team may be used at any one time. Burpees may be performed by multiple people at any one time.
Average calories (total calories divided by number of team-members) will be the teams score. The highest average will be the winning team.
Trainer WOD
To celebrate Matt & Ian's Birthday there will be a Trainer WOD at 9:30pm. All are welcome to stay and watch.
As Many Rounds as Possible in 20 Minutes of:-
1 x Round of Cindy (5 Pull Ups, 10 Push Ups, 15 Squats)
Power Clean 85kg
The number of rounds of Cindy stays at 1 throughout....the Reps for the Power Clean increases by one each round, eg
Round 1 = 1 Power Clean
Round 2 = 2 Power Cleans
Round 9 = 9 Power Cleans, etc
Highest number of rounds completed wins.
Team Battler....... Assemble!!!!

To all the trainers - thanks for sharing such a great display of awesomeness, inspiration and pain! Machines. All of you.
Most of you wouldn't have seen but Bill slipped off the erg seat with about 500m to go. In true form of gutsing it out for the team he didn't want to stop rowing to get back on the seat so finished the row sitting on the rail! You're a legend Bill!! Maybe you could line up for the Maroochydore Surf Boat Crew with that technique.....
Hope the rest of your day was fantastic Matt.

Happy birthday Matt and Ian! Hope it was a great day for you both and that the workout looked great. Nothing beats a bit of team competition!
I would have been there but I went out for a few quiet drinks with work mates but I ran into my cousin and we made a new workout. AMRAP for the night of shots! Didn't end well.
