The Nickel Dimer: Sundae Fudgy Sundae

If you made a list of some of the most physical fit humans, you might come across someone that has great versatility, maybe some abnormal strength in certain muscles or our buddy David Goggin (and the cameramen that follow him.) This year, there was an unprecedented match at Wimbledon between John Isner and Nicholas Mahut where the match lasted three full days. Once Isner finally won the match on the third day, the two etched their names in the record books as being part of the longest tennis match in the history of the sport.

Endurance and capacity for aerobic excellence is crucial. And while we might not be at the level of endurance or power that these fellows are in, I'm certain each would find the workouts that we are completing to be right in their wheelhouse.

Aaron, Chelsea and Citizen of the Year battle in Burpee Pushups

Wednesday afternoon's recipe for success included 5500 meters of swimming followed by a physical challenge between teammates:
* Two teams
* Challenge I - Burpee push-ups - maximum in one minute
* Challenge II - Push-ups on bar (5 max)...sprint to buoy...return to push-up station...5 max...sprint...for one minute. NOTE: We need your input...WHAT SHOULD WE CALL THIS EXERCISE?

Each swimmer got two scores - one for each challenge. A quick nod of recognition to Kelvin Goodman, whose score of 48 was the highest on the team.

Winning team: Omar / Steven / Aaron / Darell / Ashley / Lauren / Chelsea / Nandi

These fine-tuned specimen earned a Banana Split, catered to Room 103 complete with whipped cream, Snickers, caramel, and fudgie goodness.
