Katie claims in her comment to my last post that the men's victory was luck, plain and simple. Being as close as the score was I have a tendency to believe her. But, I would like to share my game plane that might have helped (or hurt) the men's score, now that I'm back from Detroit/Chicago and can use my laptop.
In the last ten minutes we could partner up, so I thought it would be a good idea to partner up for the 6 point farmer walk. That would get the most points in the least amount of time. So for the last 6-7 min, I split 3 farmer walks.
So in that last 6-7 min, we earned 18 points total. That means I earned 9 points in 6-7 minutes, that's about 1.5 points per minute. So if I had kept up that pace for the entire 40 min, I would have had a score of around 60. Considering that my score was half that, I guess it really helped my score.
So I think my plan, to game the system and go for the big point award with teamwork, might have had helped out, but there might be a better way. While I still believe the secret to really succeeding in these competitions is teamwork, I think my implementation of it wasn't the best. Next time, I think someone sounding off and doing something like burbees as a group would work better. Perhaps the next team competition will reveal a better team strategy...

Big points were the way to go on that workout... that's why the 0645 crew men did so well... I didn't even know Terrance was in class that day because he spent the whole time outside!
I maintain it was luck. Had I thought at 0600 to strategize, I would have done this differently... :P you're lucky I was still half asleep that morning... the rematch will be big...
