NMM
- Most PAX showed up a good 10 minutes early this morning to prep.
- We stretched in the parking lot, went over the workout, form, and expectations.
- We walked to the grassy field next to the track around corner 2, to do the workout on the grass. Gotta take care of that track!
- Extra shoutout to @Huckleberry who modified as necessary to save his injured back, (“against better judgement,” he said) and still got credit for the week (and helping keep up @F3WinstonSalem completion rates)!
- @SourMash gave himself a 5 minute head start and met us over there.
- @Zima showed up about 15 minutes to prep for his Q and Proctor for us. Don’t get lazy on form in front of him, he’s wayyyy worse than YHC.
- @Turnover also showed early (before #IS) to proctor and root on the PAX.
- @ZiggyStardust has been pushing through some health issues over the past few months and pushed as hard as I’ve ever seen him do! #Respect!
- @60Minutes Clown Car’d in with @SourMash and was the strong and silent type all morning.
- @RootCanal earned that #Respect (as always), even hollering “COME AND CATCH UP TO ME” for YHCs last lap – a big motivator, thank you for that!
- Got to run with @Drip a few laps and saw him have to stop to adjust his knee brace. He said he’s gotten some rubbing before and it made YHC realize it’s a whole other level of determination in posting! #TClaps
- @5DollarFootLong had perfect form the entire morning. He showed amazing grit and determination, pushing himself to the brink to get all the reps done. After he finished he said he even felt emotional, which made us reminisce about emotional finishes from races we’ve done.
- @Offsides posted at 0700 AFTER WORKING AN OVERNIGHT SHIFT!!! He then pushed it HARD to get through this thing – only stopping to for a pee break after the 2nd round.
- In a fantastic display of group support, @RootCanal, @60Minutes, @Sourmash, and @5DollarFootlong (and YHC) stayed to cheer @Offsides on, and joined him for extra reps and laps. We crossed the finish line together – it was awesome!
- It’s stuff like that, and seeing how hard the PAX pushed each this morning is what makes this #IPC thing so great… so who cares if the fastest submitted time seems unrealistic (YHC has even done some math). Here in the Dash the challenge is doing great thing amongst those doing it.
Good work this morning, men – here’s looking to the craziness next week will bring!
