Crawdads to hold Haynesworth Conditioning Challenge this Thursday
August 4, 2010 - South Atlantic League (SAL1)
Hickory Crawdads News Release
In honor of Washington Redskins lineman Albert Haynesworth's conditioning saga, the Hickory Crawdads will hold the Haynesworth Conditioning Challenge after this Thursday's game against the Asheville Tourists. The challenge is open to anyone with a ticket to Thursday's game and will take place on the outfield after the final out. First pitch is at 7 p.m.
All participants will have to complete the same conditioning test that Haynesworth has failed multiple times, which is as follows:
1. Twelve consecutive 25-yard dashes (300 total yards) in less than 70 seconds
2. Rest period of 3.5 minutes
3. Twelve more consecutive 25-yard dashes in less than 73 seconds
All participants that successfully complete the challenge in the allotted time will win two season tickets for the rest of the 2010 season, including all potential playoff games. All participants that attempt the challenge will receive a free ticket to a future game this season (excluding Aug. 14). Since Albert's had multiple shots at it, any fans that attempt and fail the challenge on Thursday can come back to L.P. Frans Stadium any time between 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. this Friday and try again.
In the spirit of the challenge, anyone named Albert or wearing a Redskins jersey will receive a free ticket to the game. Additionally, it will be Thirsty Thursday, featuring $1 beers and Pepsis, and there will be a post-game concert at the Crawdad Cafe by 3rd Avenue. Thursday night wraps up the Crawdads Guarantee Series with Guarantee No Rain Night - if it rains, all fans in attendance will receive a free ticket to a future game.
