THE RELENTLESS 2800 FRIDAY DIGEST

Friday updates and news and stuff.

———

ROW YOURSELF OVER TO PICKLEBALL!

Rowing was great, but you know what is greater? PICKLEBALL. Dropping Monday, you’ll be able to log your pickle. 2RMs for each game played. Get out there and try it! (RMs count towards your Timed Workout bucket.)

WELCOME TO REDMON’S CANDY FACTORY

Seventeen days in, you can see why this challenge is called RELENTLESS. It’s hard. And we’re not even HALF WAY. (In other words, you have plenty of time to do this thing.)

At the end of the day Friday, you should be at about 1,190 RMs. In other words, you rolled into Phillipsburg, MO, and you KNOW you stopped at Redmon’s Candy Factory. (They have exactly 1,000 snacks.)

SAVE THE DATE: TUESDAY 4/29

Darkly pencil in the date Tuesday, April 29, on your calendar.

For those local to Cincinnati, we’re having a Relentless 2800 Celebration at MadTree in Oakley. Probably from 6-8pm. More details to come.

LET’S TALK ABOUT WINNING

“So, how do you win this thing? Asking for a friend.” -Anonymous Pink Pony Member named Dave.

HQ: You “WIN” by completing 2800 RMs by Good Friday (4/18).

“But, is it, like, the first to get to 2800?” -Anonymous Second Halfers Member Susannah (but that’s confidential).

“Or the person who gets the most RMs overall?” -Anonymous NextLevel Member, let’s call him Susannah’s husband, Simon.

HQ: OK, OK. Technically, the FIRST team to fill ALL THREE category buckets (Run/Walk, Bike, Timed Workout) and hit 2800 RMs…is a very, very, special team.

BTW, for all you Leaderboard Lookers, just because a team has more RMs does NOT mean they’ve finished. You gotta fill those 3 buckets.

WHAT DO YOU WIN??!!

Exciting news: We have PRIZES.

Every team that fills all three categories and hits 2800 by 4/18 will be entered to win one of the following prizes from our sweet sponsors:

YOUR TEAM COULD WIN::

A $30 Gift Card for each team member to SPRINTS!
A ROAD ID for each team member!
A free pass for each member to Relentless 2800: 2026!

WHEN EXACTLY DOES THIS CHALLENGE END?

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably pulled your Zimmer Group 2025 refrigerator calendar off the fridge and counted all the days from today until Good Friday. In so doing, you’ll find this challenge is MORE than 40 days!! Yep. Lent is NOT 40 days. And, spoiler alert, neither is this challenge.

You have until Friday, April 18, at midnight, to complete this challenge. That’s 45 days from the start. We built in 5 rest days, and we’re just telling you about them now. You’re welcome.

“YOU KNOW WHAT HQ? THIS CHALLENGE DOESN’T SEEM FAIR!”

You know, we’ve heard that before.

Read this short article entitled THIS CHALLENGE ISN’T FAIR.
