Training Camp Token Challenge: Burpees to Pull-Ups Challenge

  • October 25, 2012
  • Tony Matesi

It’s Thursday and we’re still delivering challenges to the racers who will be competing at the Legend of the Death Race Training Camp Nov 9 and 10th to see if they have what it takes to finish the Death Race. We’ll be putting this group of athletes for a strenuous 20+ hour boot camp that will involve hiking, rucking, night navigation, strength, agility, mental prowess, and everything in between. They’ll be pushing their limits, learning how to deal with sleep deprivation, and ultimately getting a sweet taste of what is to come when they face Joe and Andy in Pittsfield, VT.

I captured a video of the challenge to demonstrate, but YouTube was being picky about copyrights and such so I had to eliminate the music and re-upload this morning. 

For Thursday the racers have been given 30 Burpees to Pull-Ups in as few sets as possible as their chance to earn a token.  We’ve had a couple racers already max out at their 3 Tokens, first was Michael Sandercock and second was T.J. Nomeland, congrats gents those tokens will serve you well. The rest of the racers have until 11:59PM CST tonight to finish this challenge. Good luck.

The current tokens that have been distributed are as follows:

  • Michael Sandercock – 3 Tokens
    • 100 Burpee Challenge
    • 15 Handstand Push-Ups Challenge
    • 25 Dive Bomber Push-Ups Challenge
  • T. J. Nomeland – 3 Tokens
    • 15 Handstand Push-Ups Challenge
    • 25 Dive Bomber Push-Ups Challenge
    • 15 Man Makers
  • Steve Santiago – 2 Tokens
    • 15 Handstand Push-Ups Challenge
    • 25 Dive Bomber Push-Ups Challenge
  • Rodrigo Velarde – 3 Tokens
    • 15 Handstand Push-Ups Challenge
    • 25 Dive Bomber Push-Ups Challenge
    • 30 Burpees to Pull-Ups Challenge
  • Jonathan Nolan – 2 Tokens
    • 25 Dive Bomber Push-Ups Challenge
    • 15 Man Makers

Racer: Rodrigo Valerde

Rodrigo got all fancy and knocked out his Burpee to pull-ups using some rings attached to a swing at the park. Wicked! Token earned and you are now maxed out. Grats!
