July Challenge

Charlie Dunifer's Burpees

Perform enough burpees to cover 200 yards. Instead of jumping straight up at the end of the burpee, jump forward. Best time wins.

This challenge was inspired by this thread: Charlie Dunifer's Birthday Burpees There is a video of the feat in that thread, take a look if you aren't clear on what to do. He did 1 mile (1600m) but we are only doing 200 yards.

Rules

Burpees contain a full push-up
When you crouch down your hands should be even with or just slightly in front of your feet. If you watch the video sometimes he dives forward a bit to cover a bit more distance. To make sure things are consistant you can't do that in this challenge. The only time you can move foward is when you jump.
You must use a known distance. e.g. football field (do two lengths)

It's for time, but I'd be really interested to see how many burpees this would take people.

God this is going to be brutal for whomever attempts it

I figure it will take about 100 - 120 burpees for me... I'm like 6'2". Tall ppl have the advantage this month

Challenge sounds very fun...in a sick kind of painful way!

One question. 2 football fields (200 yards) and 200meters are not the same length. I would rather do them on the field to save my knees, but either way. Just wanted to know before me test run......or jump
