Today was the "Not in Kansas Anymore" challenge event. 280+ people met at 0900 on the track and were split up into 3 groups. Each group would do one of three activities and rotate to the next over the course of 30 minutes. The first event for our group was a sprint on the field with a band around your waist pulled back by a partner behind you...easier described than done. A 50 yard sprint with resistance followed by a "pay it back" run the other way by your partner for ten solid minutes was exhausting to say the least. IMMEDIATELY after the resistance run our group ran to the parking structure and ran ten stairways up and down throughout the parking garage for another ten minutes. Having ran parking garage steps in Lincoln to get to tailgates in the Embassy Suites garage, it was dissapointing to reach the top here only to find cars and an instructor directing you to the other side of the garage to go back down. The third and final event was then an up hill sprint of approximately 20 yards, approximately 10 times. Thirty minites of hard charging left 280 people winded but ready for more. Since it was snowing in Nebraska today and 70 degrees at 0900 during this event, it was nice to be "Not anywhere near Kansas".
The 5.11 company hosted a luncheon. Steak that could best be described as delicious was served and devoured by all. This was a welcome meal as the cafeteria food has become increasingly bad.
After dinner, which most people looked liked they skipped since lunch was sooo good, a mandatory meeting was called again in the Boardroom.
