I posted this in the 100 Burpee Challenge thread, but I figured you should all get a chance to know this is taking place.
Starting today, until the deadline January 31st, 2006, I invite Sherdoggers to videotape themselves doing the 100 Burpee Challenge. The winner will receive a personalized certificate of award (I'm going to talk to Jeff about getting it all official Sherdoggy and what not), 4 dollars in Wendy's Bucks (Wendy's gift certificate; their form of currency. Will get you more food than food stamps), and a coupon for a free bucket of popcorn at any National Amusements Movie Theater.
The terms of the competition:
-All entries must be submitted no later than January 31st, 2006.
-You must verify that it is, in fact, you, in the video, by either stating your username on Sherdog or "saluting." (writing your username on a sign and holding it up to the camera)
-You must complete 100 burpees. This means you must perform the "squat-thrust" motion (without a pushup), but instead of just standing back up, you need to jump up and tuck your knees to your chest.
-You will be scored upon how fast you can complete 100 burpees.
-To ensure that you haven't altered the video, you must have some system to show that the video is running in real time; i.e., a clock in the background.
-Around February 1st (probably no later than February 3rd), I will review the videos and determine who completed the challenge in the shortest time. The Sherdogger who completes the challenge the fastest will be PMed by me about details to receive their award.
Just to let you all know, 4 bucks at Wendy's will fill you up. You'll feel like you got socked in the gut by Dave Thomas himself. It's not a big reward, but after all, it's for the honor, right?
Good luck, and start training now you fatties.
