Event 01

Move. Fast.

Working as a team, sharing loads/gear as the team sees appropriate, complete the movements along a looped course.

Scoring: Total time required to complete all elements

Gear & Setup

400m looped course
4 barbell plates per athlete - 45# for males / 25# for females
1 ruck per athlete - 30# for males / 20# for females
Place all 16 plates and 4 rucks at/behind the starting line.

Modified/Scaled gear

The intent of the added weight in this exercise is to force teams to problem solve transporting more weight than a single athlete is likely able to move on their own.

So long as 4 -roughly- equivalent items make it around the lap, the spirit of the event is being upheld. 2 items, each making two laps per person, would also be acceptable.

eg: Instead of each athlete shuttling 4 weight plates around a single 400m loop, each athelete doing two laps of the 400m loop with 2 appropriately heavy items (cinderblocks, water cans, sandbags, rocks, etc) would be a good scaled option.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. It's just internet points afterall.

The Event

As a team, complete a total of five (5) loops of the course under the following conditions.

400m run (slick)
10 burpees
400m ruck
10 burpees
400m rucked burden carry
10 burpees
400m ruck
10 burpees
400m run (slick)

Time stops when the last team member crosses the line.

Rules & Standards

"Slick" means no equipment.
"Rucked" means that all team member's rucks will go around the loop.
All rucks and plates must be moved around the entire 400m loop during the burden carry.
Any team member may move any piece of equipment during a loop. One person may carry two rucks while another team member moves any number of plates, regardless of gender.
Any piece of gear may be passed off/set down at any time.
Once you begin burpees, you may not begin a new loop or go back on to the loop until all team members have completed their burpees between movements.
- If Person A completes their rucked movement, they may immediately turn around and go back to assist Person B in carrying their ruck.
- If Person A completes their rucked movement, and begins completing burpees, they may not reenter the loop to assist Person B.
- If Person A completes their 10 burpees, they may not reenter the loop until all team members have also completed their burpees. They may however stage any team gear behind the starting line.
At a minimum, each team member must complete the entire 400m loop each round.
Course may be looped (as in a running track) or out and back (as in a measured point 200m from the start point).
Spirit of the rules does not permit eccentric routes designed to truncate length of movement (eg: a cloverleaf pattern is not permitted).
All burpees are assigned "per person" and may not be split up within the group.
All burpees are slick.
Construction of load bearing appartus with items not on the event gear list is not permitted.
