So this week, the Malaysian tribe had our first PR day and boy, was it a success! We hit our elusive 60 and welcomed the most newbies in one single workout. Great job to the tribe for hyping up PR day and brought their friends to experience the joy of November Project.
Because of the nature of our workout location (it is a hill with slopes down each end), we had to come up with a simple way to measure PR and make sure it is still a killer workout. Hence, the co-leaders decided to make it a suicide runs and count PR by the furthest lamp post the tribe can reach before the clock hits 35 minutes.
So basically, A runs from Lamp Post 0 to Lamp Post 1 and back to 0… run to 2, then back to 0… so on and so forth. Only the uphill lamp post counts as PR measurement. So to improve on PR, A must run the full lap uphill.
Simple enough but this hill is murderous.
We want to give a shoutout to a couple of people who we think are just so beautiful, inspiring and really pushed themselves the whole way.
To all the newbies who showed up on our toughest day! You guys are heroes! We’re glad you were there!
To Shayne who won positivity award. Very well-deserved. She called out her tribe by their names, encouraged them to keep going and gave out high fives freely.
To Alien who did not even break a sweat after completing the furthest distance. Monster! Total focus and what a beast!
To “accidental” partners Andy and Jill T who really pushed and challenged each other up the hill all the way. What a showdown!
And BASICALLY EVERYONE. SHIT you guys gave it your 100% and that brings out the proud stuff the NP co-leaders can dream of.
You are all badasses. For not snoozing, for being stronger than your excuses, for fucking showing up.
Now let’s enjoy the burn in our quads. I know you love it. This tribe is strong!
