Captain Corey ready for the Triathlon. |
Tomorrow
will be a sad, sad day. Every Fall semester we get together and take Advanced Conditioning class. With a cross fit type
feel, of high intensity workouts, of an array of exercises. Through the
years we have seen high temperatures, rain, wind and this year even
smoke. We've seen the class size drop from upwards of 50 when the whole basketball team was in the class, down to a small
group of warriors ranging from 30-35 college men and women. Guys have dropped due to
heat and high intensity, while others have felt the tight legs and
hamstrings the next day. Hydration and preparation has proven key to get
through the 4 years of AC. That all being said, I would like to
highlight a couple events.
A highlight from AC, is
the annual Fredonia Triathlon with a twist. Swimming 10 laps in the
pool, 2 laps around the track holding a cinder block, and then a mile
run around Tin Man Hill on campus. In previous years we ran the mile tin
man with the cinder block, which seems like an impossible feat looking
back on it today. Still today proves to be an intense test of every ones
physical abilities.
This all comes to an end
today with a 3 mile run around the vineyards of Fredonia. Getting
outdoors and running with the fellow students that battled each fall
semester will be a nice day. Working on some cardio to cap off a long 4
year course. I can proudly say that I tackled all obstacles thrown my
way with a group of AC veterans in my seniors, pushed and been pushed by
all the other competitors in the underclassman. To all those with time
left, good luck and keep grinding.
Cheers,
#23 Brian Doust
