So you want to be a soccer referee?

12 Pax posted with the promise of no hills and being tested.  Not for Covid, but to see if we were fit enough to be a Grade 6 US Soccer Federation Referee.  In order to qualify for Grade 6, you have to have experience reffing games and pass this fitness test.  We waived the experience requirement today and focused on running.

 

Thang

Warmup lap around the park per Redline requirements.

USSF Grade 6 test:

6 x 40 m sprints (8 second requirement); jog back to starting line between each

10 full laps around the track with 150M on (40 second requirment) and 50M off (45 second rest, walking)

All Pax completed enough of the test for me to pass them.

 

Announcements – There were none

 

Prayer Requests – Resistor’s daughter undergoing a procedure; Zuck’s dad having bladder surgery

Grateful to the 12 Pax who showed up to support my Q.

I think I heard some people say they enjoyed the workout.  Seemed like a good change of pace for us.

Winklevoss actually ran hard at Redline for once.

Whirly was pushing it around the track too.

More people should post to Redline.  It’s always a good workout.
