March Madness Is Here! Have you been paying attention? I’m from Maryland so I already knew about UMBC. But that put me in the minority before they smashed UVA (wahoo-wah?) last week!
Well this morning we came looking for our very own cinderellas. Our March Madness workout pitted two people repping their alma maters against one another. There were rounds of 64, 32, Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four, and an oh-s0-elusive opportunity for a championship.
There were 64 mountain climbers at the bottom of Alta Plaza. Crush those and whoever finishes first ascends to the next level. 32 squats with the winner advancing to the Sweet 16. Survive and advance baby.
As is often the case, the Sweet 16 proved very difficult with 16 burpees. And after a race to 8 sergeant lunges got people to the Final Four, there was a sprint finish for a chance at the championship. The free throw line is a lonely place for some and we proved that today.
We already knew we had room to improve our basketball skills based on last year’s 3 on 3 “basketball” but it’s always nice to confirm what we already know. Two champions emerged today having made their free throws. First, my bet as one of the tournament’s top seeds, Ryan Scura. Not his first time at the free throw line and it showed. Our second champion was a real cinderella, Jide. He ended up banking in his free throw. I didn’t hear him call it so we can only speculate as to whether it was intentional but hey, a champion is a champion.
Congrats to all on a killer tournament!
P.S. Guys. If you slept in because of the the rain, there was no rain–as everyone at the workout can attest. Wake yo ass up!
