The Rabbit Box Rap

Saturday STEB started at the PR tent by the Burke Lake Ice Cream Parlor 

Darn, the Ice Cream Parlor wasn't open!

For one easy loop going, clockwise was no bother!

Then STEB took a turn on her MTB

Two loops just for fun - if you please!

On Saturday STUR got to do a run that was easy…

She didn't take a selfie since that would have been cheesy!

Then off to CrossFit for a workout with a partner -

And what do you know - she got to run a little farther!

The WOD called for a 3 x 800;

And pull-ups, snatches, and thrusters in abundance!

On Sunday Team Rabbit was out in force -
It was the annual Mother's Day 100 100's of course!

Rabbits are going in feet first!

They gathered at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex-

This facility is amazing!

To swim 4 hours? What the heck!!

This amazing facility stands in the shadow of FedEx Field

Hail!

You know, where the Redskins play on their home football battlefield!
RBud also came along to swim with the crew -
A very long swim of 3500 she would also do!
To start off STUR felt like her goggles were too tight...
After 3000 she loosened them and it felt alright!
At 3300 the swimmers took a break -
For the group selfie they would need to take!

Thanks for joining us, RBud!!

Maddie and Bettie were along for the ride

Watching over from the bench – taking things in stride

Rabbits at the ready!

STEB had wanted to do a 50 x 100 IM...

This would not have been on a whim!

But it was not in the cards for this day;

So the 100 100s is what she did instead. Yay!

But STUR and STEB changed things around on every tenth rep...

With a 100 IM! We took an extra minute rest - don't fret!

At the start STEB had super fogged up googles...

She changed them out and those were foggy too - her mind was boggled!

STEB got the giggles (again) this time -

Not sure what was so funny but it was worked into this rhyme!

Soon they hit number 55 -

Remember - that's the speed you 'can'tdrive'!!

STUR and STEB were on the same wavelength for number 66

After all that's where we 'get our kicks'!! 

At number 76 STUR started to lose her spirit -

But she was going to make it to the end - don't fear it!

At 88 - it was 88 miles per hour! Please note: 

Wouldn't be normal without a STEB movie quote 

At 98 STUR attempted a "sprint"-

She inspired STEB and off she went!

STEB spent time doing math in her head -

It kept her on task and her brain occupied instead.

Otherwise it is easy to lose count -

Don't want to do any extra laps - no doubt!

CBun was excited, but nervous too -

Her first 100x100s -- something scary and new.

Could she swim that far? She just didn't know...

Only one way to find out - give it a go!

Swim it, she did...the whole shebang -

She was definitely inspired by the Team Rabbit gang! 

WuDoc also finished her very first 100 100s experience;

Slow and steady wins the race – not to mention patience!

She was the first to hit up the hot tub, over in the leisure pool...

The other rabbits joined her – they are not fools!

After the swim it was time for the slide -
All the Rabbits agreed it was a really fun ride!

Going down the slide rocked!

All in all it was so great to have all the company -
That's what "misery" loves you see!!
They headed to Chipotle for a post swim snack;

That's another tradition as a matter of fact!

We were famished!

While eating outside the Rabbits saw quite a sight:

A C-17 Globemaster flew overhead - one of the biggest planes in flight!  

Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a C-17!

Later on someone brought up the Rabbits and CrossFit;

If the Rabbit Box ever happened it'd sure be a hit!

Next year the Rabbits will take this to another level -

By fundraising for WARL of course - things will not be dull!
