Jerry Rice Inspires Campers

This week we've been hanging out at First Baptist Church of Smyrna. Why? Because Ryan wants us all to be the best NFL Wide Receiver ever to play the game.

Huh?

Not quite. But FBCS does have a lot more hills than the football field at Campbell HS and I'm sure the Spartans thank goodness for that! Jerry Rice was notorious for taking his other teammates to "The Hill" and leading them up and down hills in the San Francisco area, absolutely killing these professional athletes. Check out the first half of this video.

We weren't quite running 2 miles up a hill, but damn did it hurt! Yesterday we did "House of Pain", which were various length sprints uphill with a bunch of exercises in between sets. Then this morning we kicked it up a notch. We paired up and did towel runs, where your partner wraps a towel around your waist and provides resistance while you run. First, we did some flat sprints, then some with a slight incline, then the "Jerry Rice" incline. Ouch!
