Many a Northshore pax can tell you how often we’ve had a forecast of rain only to post and be pleasantly surprised at how narrowly we avoided it. I can’t tell you how many near misses I’ve had over the years.
But Tuesday was not one of those days.
Jose took off for his usual pre-thang in a mild drizzle only to arrive back at 0515 to a full on downpour. YHC was surprised anyone showed up at all. But really, I shouldn’t have been – this guy has somewhere around 120 posts under his belt this year, and that’s only the confirmed posts. He’s probably got another 20-30 unrecorded because as he reminds us constantly, yes, us Mandevillians don’t write backblasts.
Well not today, good sir!
Usual warmorama and then into a pyramid style beatdown, where we’d start at one side of the corridor with a set of 10 exercises, increasing as we went until we hit the stage (which was always a peoples chair with 40 air presses), and then we’d then decrease on the other side of the trailhead back down to 10.
Exercises were:
10 burpees
20 merkins
30 squats
40 air presses
30 squats

20 Mike Tyson’s

At some point Jose had to leave, but he had done his job. YHC would’ve easily returned to the fartsack had no one posted, but now, wet and sweating, there wasn’t much of a choice. Just finish the damn thing.
Thank you Jose for the accountability and continued commitment – appreciate you brother!
