He pointed to a tree about 40 yards away, "First, we'll race from here to that tree. On the count of three, one... two... three!." He took off at a dash, sprinting as hard as he could. He thought he was doing well for a bit until Vena overtook him running far faster than he was. He arrived at the tree a full second later than she did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sure, I could see this going a few ways. We could arm-wrestle, but that only measures one muscle. We could do a lifting competition, although we'd have to find or make our own weights. Or, for a full body workout, we could have a 6 minute live wrestling match. Take your pick." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There's no hitting, kicking, biting, et cetera. A pin is three seconds with both of your opponents shoulder blades on the ground. You got all that?"

He was up in a heartbeat, then rushed in, throwing his hands around her head and her right arm, then twisted, throwing them both down with him on top. He pushed up with his legs and down with his shoulder, using his leverage to increase the pressure, shoving her back into the ground, with more than all his weight.
