In my past life writing about college basketball, the days leading up to a Duke/UNC basketball game were among the busiest of the year. But now that I live like normal folks, I see that there are people who actually don't live and die by this stuff. So today's workout gave both sides of this divide and chance to have fun.

We started with a standard warmup with SSH, WMH, LBAC, IW and slow merkins. Then we grabbed rocks – because why not – and ran to the field for a high-stakes trivia clash.

We more or less broke up into two teams defined by how much people cared about Saturday's Duke/UNC showdown. The team that had an emotional investment in the game was asked a series of trivia questions about Duke/UNC rivalry. The team that had no real interest in it got a series of random trivia questions about topics such as Super Bowls, beer, country music stars and golfers with Simpsons cameos. If a team got the answer correct, they got to choose between two exercises (one being a mode of travel and the other being burpees, merkins, Bobby Hurleys, etc.).

I don't recall all the results, but I know there was plenty of bear crawling and burpees. And in the midst of all this, we took a few #RockBreaks to knock out some curls, triceps, overhead presses and rows.

For Mary we did some LBCs, flutter kicks, Hello Dollies and Heels to Heaven and called it a day.
