Teams of 2
Load scaling as follows
Rx = carry sandbag/D-ball plus pair of kettlebells
Scale down: carry 20 lb medball plus pair of kettlebells
Team carries load up Baltimore hill to stairs at top of Cathedral park (10-20). Partners share and switch loads as needed. Fast teams can come back to help struggling teams. If there is an odd person out, have them carry a load that is appropriate for them and they can borrow KBs at the park.
Once At the stairs, One partner does quadrupedal motion (QM…walk on all fours) while the other uses the weight (sandbag, D-ball, med ball or KB).
Partner using the weight can rest while the other does QM or vice versa depending on who finishes first.
If round 1 is not completed in 5 minutes, then scale down by reducing the distance of quadrupedal motion on the stairs.
Rx= to top of stairs
Scale = reduce stair distance by 1/3, 1/2 , or 2/3
