Day 3
Day 3
After a great breakfast in Teton Village, the team departs for our first evolution. Today we would be joining Coach Rob Shaul, owner of Mountain Athlete for a special event. We linked up with Rob at an undisclosed mountain training site for a custom session of his elite "range fitness" training. A large and growing number of Rob's clients are drawn to the military and tactical focused products of Mountain Athlete, known as Military Athlete. Rob has created a custom curriculum designed to replicate the body's physiological reactions to the stresses of combat. Through a series of tailored and timed events, Rob slowly and progressively builds students heart rates, reduces fine motor skills and then leads them through advanced pistol and rifle drills for time. The effects of even minor physical exertion are dramatic and immediately visible as missed shots, missed times and overall inconsistent performance is typically experienced by all. The need for maximum functional fitness is constantly reinforced to all who sign up for Military Athlete courses.

Fitness for action

The range fitness evolution was great fun, but more importantly great training. After a few hours on the range with Coach Rob, it was clear that we all needed more work on our tactical fitness. You can never stop training and improving. The basics should always be your focus, but demonstrating fine motor skills under stress is an important facet of training that was reinforced by our Military Athlete session.
Today the training was over after our range fitness session and we drove back to Teton Village laughing about who was top shot, who cheated on burpees and who broke rule #1 on the range.
Our afternoon was spent planning, prepping gear, shopping for food, relaxing and most importantly, thinking about what was in store for us the next day.
