The Belt Challenge: the Slowest Drag Race

PAX completed a 1/4 mile weighted drag race in an effort to beat one of the slowest recorded times, 19.2 seconds by the original Toyota Prius (we all lost)

Each measured distance in the drag race required a new mode of sandbag travel. The first to finish and hoist their sandbag overhead, signaling a trophy raise, was crowned the belt champion

Distances were modified for time and light (dawn broke late and we couldn’t find the cones in the field)

Ruck on:
Burnout box: 10 4-count mountain climbers
0-60ft: Bear Crawl Sandbag Drag
60ft-330ft: Sandbag Bear Hug
330ft-1/8 mile: Sandbag Zercher Carry
1/8mile-1000ft: Sandbag Suitcase Carry
1000ft-1/4 mile finish: Sandbag Back Carry

At the finish line, there could be only one winner:
Congratulations Floppy Disk (Tom Neal)
