Just two days before Christmas, we had a hardy group of 4 at Makiki Park ready to work. The rain hit hard, so we stayed under the tree on the corner of the courts and got a lot of pushups and crunches in. Javan had the high of 62 crunches in 40 seconds, but Jared Elwin, Joshua de Jesus (Josh) and Felcris Jay Corpuz all had high numbers. They also ran almost 1 mile (20 laps around both courts).
The math: the courts are about 74 feet long (my estimation) and 46 feet wide. Factor in the 5 feet between the courts and it's 74x2 + 46x2 + 5x2. That comes out to 148 + 92 + 10, which is 250 feet around both courts. 250 x 20 laps is 5,000 feet.
There are 5,280 feet in one mile, so 5,000/5,280 = 0.947 of one mile. The more conditioning and endurance and strength work we do, the better. Good work, Thunder!
Next: Tuesday, 5:00 pm, practice at Makiki Park. After that, have a Merry Christmas! We may practice on Thursday night. I'll be at the Merv Lopes Classic to see Saint Louis (and Haka Iamhaka Johnson) play in a 1:30 pm game. I'm covering the 4:30 pm Farrington-Kamehameha game for work. So if enough guys want to see the Merv Lopes games (at St. Francis gym) before practice, we can do that.
Then practice Friday afternoon, time to be determined. Saturday morning, we play in Aiea Intermediate League.
WE LUB THIS GAME!
