Where the Figawi?






















Today is Thursday, March 5th, 2009. In order to help everyone with a little motivation with all of this snow and cold hanging around the northeast, I issue you a challenge.

A large number of people I associate with and that follow this blog will be descending on the island of Nantucket like a pack of crazed maniacs for Figawi Weekend (May 21st-May24th). Here is an excerpt from the official website:


"The 38th Annual Figawi Race Weekend is recognized as a top sailing event not only on the east coast but is known nationally as well as internationally. Figawi Race Weekend kicks off the the Cape Cod and Nantucket summer season. Entries include sailors from several states 240+ boats (including 30 power boats) and over 3,000 sailors and visitors, as well as locals, attend this event.For more information please reference the links at the left.More information about Figawi 2009 will be posted here when available in Winter 2009."

If you are wondering how much time you have before this glorious weekend of life on earth, you have exactly 11 weeks. Why am I telling you all of this? What if you aren't even going or located in the Northeast?

The first answer is easy. We are going to take this date for our deadline. I always talk about picking measurable goals, with specific timelines, so here it is. Even if you aren't going to Figawi, use this date with us. The goal is simple. For this weekend, you need to be the leanest specimen you can posibly be. And get aggressive with your goal. As an example, my new revised goal for 11 weeks from now is to be 195 pounds, with single digit bodyfat by the time I get on the ferry. For you, this may be too aggressive. If you are overweight your goal is to lose 25 pounds of bodyfat in 11 weeks. That means you have to lose 2+ pounds every week until Figawi. So pick a goal that is applicable to your situation. Girls, if you already weigh 120 pounds and are pretty lean, 25 pounds of fat loss is stupid. Try to maintain your weight and get "harder". This means changing the way you workout. You need to lift weights. Same for you 145 pound guys. Beef it up for the next 11 weeks. If you don't know how ask. Why would you want to make your life difficult for the next 77 days?


Here is how a typical Nantucket weekend is going to go. We are all going to meet up for the evening SLOW ferry over to Nantucket. This allows for extra time to build excitement and anticipation (and they serve drinks on the ferry). Next, we get off and head to a local watering hole. After "shenanies" all night, we wake up on Friday morning and head to the beach. We have everything we need, beach chairs, grills, horseshoe stakes, bean bag toss, coolers and great company. With any luck it will be great weather. Now is the moment of truth. Guys, you peel off those shirts to get a bronze on and people will definitely notice you. They will either talk about your sloppy physique complete with muffin top, or they will say Holy Shit! Jake really has been crushing the gym. Girls, you will shimmy out of your beach dresses and people will think "Jesus, she really should be in a one piece" or "wow, serious hard body". The choice is yours and ONLY yours.


Over the next few blog updates I will be giving you new workouts to try, diet strategies to employ, and other tidbits to aid you in your journey.


So what do you say?

I think that one essential thing sull left out of the list of shit we bring to the beach is speedos. I for one will be rocking the "brief" style european junk juggler. Assorted colors are encouraged boys, can't go wrong with black but i venture to say that a neon green or plum maybe get a few more looks your way. By the way that is in fact brett and that is the food he pulled outta the St. Seb's trash barrel right after Vacca spit on it.
