Shawn and I are putting together a team for “Big Brown Truck Pull” . This event is to raise money for “Special Olympics Kentucky”. More than 20 teams are expected to compete and we have heard Paducah Police, Paducah Fire Dept and USEC are competing, just to name a few. The event winner is the team that can pull a 18-wheeler UPS truck 12 feet with the fastest time. There are men’s, women’s and co-ed team divisions. It will take place August 22nd on Broadway during the Downtown After Dinner Festival.
This Friday Shawn and I will be interviewed by a few Bristol Broadcasting local radio stations to hype up the event. We have yet to decide how we want to set our teams up. Each team has 15 members. The main hype is that we are challenging ALL the men’s teams that we can’t be beat.
We have 2 options for our team set up:
Option A. Set a team up with us and our strongest men, women and athlete clients. We would compete in the men’s division and challenge all the men’s teams we can’t be beat (using a Co-Ed team with ages ranging from preteens to sixties).
Or
Option B. Set a team up with us and 4 other strongmen competitors we train with. Again, we would be challenging the men’s division. (This time it would only be us 6 vs. men’s teams of 15).
We are still unsure of our team set up but I can guarantee it will be a good time. It is also for a great cause!
So, what team set up do you think is best? Please let me know in the comments down below!

I would probably go for the co-ed team. It provides the opportunity to have a good time with clients and probably wouldn't be a bad way to market yourself and your gym. Plus by winning the competition, your sixteen year old client can finally score the hot cheerleader he has been incessantly talking about...
Option C: Take your six strongman competitors with 9 of your other strongest men and women and make yourselves the team that can't be beat. Pre-Truck pull, have a strength challenge in your gym to make the team.
@ Daniel - Thanks for the feedback. You are right, it would be great marketing. Haha, as for the 16 year old, I may change his name from pink to black on the record board if he pulls that one off!
@ Rob - Great ideas! Thanks for the feedback. I really like the strength challenege idea. We will be using that for sure!
