Team Flow

 At the call of 3-2-1 go! All teammates will pick up the Run Sandbag by the handles and must hold the handle throughout the duration in order to complete the 500M run.

Upon completion of the run, teammates will move to their designated pool lane. A non-swimming teammate must pick up and bearhug hold the Deck Sandbag. Once the bag is secure, one teammate at a time may begin the 50M swim. The non-working teammate must remain on the starting box. Non-swimming teammates may alternate holding the Deck Sandbag, but only one athlete will hold it at a time. The bag must not touch the deck until the swim is completed.

Upon finishing the swim distance, the swimmer must come out of the pool and return to the starting box on deck to mark the completion of the swim. From here, the bag may drop to the ground. One athlete will work at a time to complete 18 repetitions of bag over shoulder.

Upon completion of the bag over shoulder reps, teams will work in the same order to complete the swim lengths, bag holds, and ball over shoulder reps.

Teammates can switch out on the swim every 50 meters if needed (25 down/25 back).

Score is time or total repetitions at the 12-minute cap.

Standards

Bearhug Hold (Trios Only): The hold begins with the sandbag placed entirely on the front of the body, in a position lower than the chin and above the thighs for the duration of the hold. The bag will be supported with the athlete’s arms only in a “bear hug” position. The athlete’s hands and arms can be positioned anywhere they would like on/around the bag with interlocking fingers, arms and wrists. Holding the bag from the bottom is permitted. Hitching to regain control is permitted as long as the bag stays in the approved position on the body.

The hold is over when the bag is no longer in the approved hold position, rests on the thighs, moves above the chin or hits the ground.

Non-swimming teammates may alternate holding the Deck Sandbag, but only one athlete will hold it at a time, and the bag must not touch the deck until the swim is completed.

The swimmer must come out of the pool and return to the starting box on deck to mark the completion of the swim. From here, the bag may drop to the ground.

Run: Teams will run in pace together while holding the handle of a common Valor Fitness Duffle Sandbag. Sandbags have 6 handles total. The bag can be carried any way, as long as each teammate holds a handle for the duration of the run.

Sandbag Ground Over Shoulder: The rep starts with the sandbag on the ground. The rep is complete when the athlete stands at or near full extension, the sandbag crosses over the shoulder (not side), and drops to the ground behind the athlete. Re-dipping and leaning back are allowed.

Swim: Any swim style will be permitted. One teammate can be in the pool at a time. Flip turns are permitted. NO DIVING. The swimmer must come out of the pool and return to the starting box on deck to mark the completion of the swim.
