Introduction
The “Dead to Red” is a relay race run in teams of ten in Jordan each spring. the race is 240 Kilometers long and must be completed within 24 hours. This work out is a shout out to some friend I know that have completed the race the past two years. (Besides, the name seemed fitting for my VQ, given my F3 ‘handle’)

“Dead to Red”
The stations were set approximately 25 meters apart from bottom to top of the parking lot. The workout was set up relay style, started with one PAX at each station and 2 Pax at station 4.
Once the workout was set in motion, the ‘extra’ Pax at station 4 ran down to station 1 and ‘tagged’ sending the working PAX up to the next station to begin new work and sending the next PAX to the third Station.
Continued relay rotation until five complete cycles were finished making for 120 reps total at each station and approx. 500 meter run for each PAX.
