2008 Pentathlon Pics

As promised, here are some pictures from the 2008 Nygaard Pentathlon. The event was held on Thursday, November 20th. Weather was sunny with temperatures of 25 and a wind chill in the teens. The wind was out of the north at 18-20mph with gusts up to 30mph. We had 16 competitors, 14 from Principal and 2 from Aspen Athletic Club. All in all, a great day!
Gear check to make sure everyone has everything.

I give all I got. Side note, I am wearing a custom SCRC jersey that I made especially for the pentathlon. Bryan nails his landing!
Scott takes off like a rocket.
Caleb is actually flying.
After the long jump, we gathered up our gear and headed to Aspen Athletic Club for the bench press. We bench 115 lbs to see how many reps we can do in 60 seconds. Most of us can't go for a whole 60 seconds, but maybe some day!
I test out my power on the bench press.
Caleb is one of the guys that went for the full 60 seconds. The record prior to this year was 70 reps in 60 seconds, when asked if her could break the record Caleb said "I can bench 425, but I am not much of an endurance guy." 60 seconds and 74 reps later, after he broke the record Caleb said, "It got heavy at 60"
Bryan puts up the weights.
Ryan showing us that even a punter can lift some weight!
Drake gives it all he has!
Harbert concentrates all his energy as he lifts.
Joe shows us what he can do.
After the bench press, we head back to the track, lace up the spikes and run the 1500.
Since it was so cold, we only ran 1 heat of the 1500, so i don't have any pictures from the race. We finish with a group shot, all the competitors for the 2008 Nygaard Pentathlon.
