Week 3 Day 6, Saturday April 10th, 2010

OPERATION: ROCK OR ROLL

Full Mission Profile


Situation:

Moments ago a distress radio call came into the Search and Rescue station about a severely injured pair of hunters on King Mountain, north of Palmer, Alaska.

Both are injured, but one has a severe compound femur fracture and has lost a lot of blood. The other hunter sustained minor injuries, but is unable to move his partner.

The incident that caused the injuries was a large rock slide, which also completely obstructed the narrow trail on the steep cliff that offers the quickest access to the injured victims.

A rescue helicopter has been called, but due to a previous call will not be able to be on station for 4 hours. The victim with the compound fracture will not last that long. The rescue team must choose either to move clear a path through the rocks or take a narrow trail around the back of the mountain to get to the victims.

FMP WORKOUT

Option A: Run 1 mile before not timed

If you choose to clear a path through the fallen rocks (shorter distance – but heavier):

Deadlift – 10,000lbs

Clean – 7,500lbs

Press, Push Press, or Jerk – 5,000lbs

*Scale your weight to your ability and keep track of lifts (i.e. 10 cleans at 95lbs = 950lbs). Mix up lifts as needed. Feel free to change weight as needed.

Note your time from beginning to end of all lifts

Option B:

If you choose to take the trail around to the other side (longer – but no heavy lifting):

Run 15K (9.6 miles)

Note the time of the run from beginning to end.

  2. The situation was not as expected: significantly higher on the mountain (approx. 7500 ft) and standard tools were not available (no rubber plates). Furthermore, rescuers encountered a sick woman with 5 children, 4 of whom were under the age of 5, and occasionally required attention. The team thought it wiser to clear a path, keeping contact with the woman and children, instead of taking the long way around. Rescuers were cut a break, and only had to remove 75% of the material.

    Time: 38:40

  4. Torrey - You Rock!

    Situation with normal proceedings - other than the men I train with. Squat cleans??? Really!!! I could fly through the cleans so much faster without the squat part.

    29:10 or 29:01
    80kg deads
    40kg squat cleans
    40kg push press

    Was not really feeling it today, but that is just a mental game I must push myself through!
