August 2006

Cory Doviak, 4-Feet Grafix was there to cover the 1st Annual GE BEACH WORKOUT!

The Workout was so unique, memorable, fun & difficult...that we have duplicated 2 more years to keep the tradition alive.

Circuit I - Exercise 1

...not really sure what he got himself into.

...Getting some guidance and coaching from partner, Warren Roark

Warren leads by example in the Keg Push...an event that he still holds the record in...

...after further review...the sled sprint turned into the Prowler Sprint in `09.

If you remember from last year,...many of the participants threw the harness over their shoulder and performed a "lifeguard save" instead of an acceleration sprint!

Unfortunately, Anthony Dolan was struggling a little bit in this picture because it's not a low position like the crab sled, but rather a high push that allows the body to accelerate more efficiently....

....ahhh,...technique comes into play in the Beach Workout and in your Sport!

The youngest participant has a little nasty streak (game face) as he launches the Keg.

Although intense and giving 100%...at least in this picture...the Keg and Beach appeared to win versus Connor....

...You have seen it on this website before,...an athlete's ability to work hard enough to throw up and then have the guts to contiune to train.

Connor O'Callahan was "that guy" today at the 4th Annual Beach Workout - holding his own during the Tug of War!

Thanks for Leading by Example Connor!

Thanks to Michele for her help in the trenches making sure that everyone tallied their repetitions fairly...

At Good Energy's Beach Workout...we DO compete, and there ARE winners!

...despite missing the "Original" Beach Workout, Taylor was in mid-season form Saturday...and will be a beast on the field for Hobart this Fall.

He is doing a great job training the GE Athlete's this Summer and leads by example.

Andy did a good job for GE in providing the Athlete's with a clean track, offering plenty of guidance and talking a little trash...but he did feel like he should have thrown some kegs too.

...the Crab Sled makes the meanest and strongest Man....modest.

Here you see it tame 2-way Ramsey lineman Cory Connell....

...but this is Warren Roark.

I don't care what year he graduated or how old he is. Warren is mean...pretty strong...and the muscle memory that has lasted over the years is clearly evident.

This Crab Sled is a walk in the park for Mr. Roark.

With sneakers on and no place to dig his skates in,...Ramsey Hockey defenseman Connor O'Callahan is pleading to the crab sled to surge forward....

....eventually it does, but it's tough!

Mike feels so comfortable riding 100 miles on his bike, running a 5K or swimming in a triathalon...

...but the crab sled was a tough component.

Warren is kind of a ringer...
...he's been working hard his whole life

... but has been pulling sleds at GE for over 3 years.

Taylor Ciali...selling out to the finish line.
