Outsiders 2012

This weekend Brent and I left the babes and got a little getaway in with some friends. You may call it a trip, rather then a vacation.. but actually, the perfect vacation for me involves no kids, my husband, close friends and sweat. So, I’m classifying it as a vacation.I mean, when else do you make human pyramids,
Make a whole new meaning to a “ice bath”.

(yes, I have crazy friends.. It was probably 5 degrees outside.. so note: I’m in the car taking this photograph..)
Leg wrestling, games, laughing and chatting way past my bedtime. I think I was actually the first one to crash. My eyelids automatically shut at any moment past midnight. 
We woke up late (8am ish) enjoyed some oatmeal –
steel cut oats, berries and bananas. SO yummy.. pretty sure I had 3 bowls. But I was totally carb loading for what was about to come…


After breakfast it was time for the epic relay.
The inside-outside-upside down relay!
We were first separated into groups of 5 or in our case.. 4.
We were given a list of exercises that we had to strategize through to accomplish “for time.”
As a group we were to do the following: (from what I remember)

• Run 20 miles
• 400 high sumos next to a red vehicle
• 500 lunge steps next to a fence
• Hang upside down
• 1000 jump rope next to a gas pump
• 500 situps by a pine tree
• 300 burpees in snow
• 300 bicep curls per arm in front of a sign with a  “P” on it.
• 600 air squats 3 ft high
• 500 KB swings with a cow in a background
• 500m swim with 10 pushups after every 50 m.
• 15 min. plank
• 150 pull ups
• 3 people had to do the macrena in a place of business
• Random dance party with at least 5 spectators

There were a few rules we had to follow:

• You could do it in any order.
• You must take a picture of each event.
• The 20 miles must show on only 1 Garmin.
• Only 2 people could be performing a movement at a time
• Once you started an exercise you had to finish it.
• After gathering our thoughts and our plan of attack we all hit start on our timers and jumped were off.

Here are a few pics from the relay-
