So the fact is that I am not just obsessed with running faster than Mike (the bar for 6 miles was just raised to 45.19) but also in being stronger than him. However, it is difficult to compare strength when we are both doing totally different workouts. He's going for random tests of strength (eg do 30 burpees and then 30 clean and jerks with 105 pounds) while I am sticking to the old school approach of max bench press or squats, or max set of 10.
I am still trying to do 100 push-ups straight (not the new CrossFit arms off floor chest on ground variety) and 25 pull-ups (much easier if I can learn to kip). At this point I'd take Mile in push-ups and he would win pull-ups.
In addition to slugging it out on the road, we need to pick a strength event that will test both our approaches to lifting and it can't involve the obscure Olympic events that I can't do. Maybe Cindy? Or 100 pull-ups air squats sit-ups and push-ups.
Care to name the event Mike?
