On YHC’s third scheduled date it was a go! The threat of rain and the sickness/soreness of now a 46 year old Q was the only thing standing in the way. The idea has been marinating for awhile and YHC was ready to reveal it to the PAX. Procrastinated about finding a piece of the plan till yesterday afternoon and that became a minor setback. Knew a few guys that would attend, but was going to see how many more wanted to enhance their man card! Put out the challenge for PAX to bring a KB to challenge them. Due to the rainish conditions, PAX were sluggish from the get go, but nevertheless it was time to…

The Thang

Carry your KB/KB’s to the Amphitheater. YHC actually showed up over 15 minutes early to setup. Sheet protectors were put with the WOD on the brick part of the Amphitheater. The Double Sided tape was supposed to be strong (it did last around 40 minutes), but the wind proved to be stronger (we finally had the sequence down at that time). Rep scheme was first round 5, second round 10, third round 15, fourth round 10, and fifth round 5.

KB’s are still undefeated. Many times guys will try to say there workout is going to be tougher, if it doesn’t have a KB I am not falling for it. I had not put my 60 back in the truck till this am. Really didn’t want to use it, but knew if I did I would test myself. Candy Cane rotated around with his 45 and 35, Abu used his 45, Grammar and Tonka had a 35. I told Grammar to at least used the 50 his last round to slow him down. Yesterday we talked about Fixed Mind and Growth Mind, it can be applied to almost every aspect. Today I had a Growth Minded workout planned. Speed can be ok, but what good is it if you are not growing like you could?

This was a first in a long time for me, got there first and stayed later then everyone. Had a great conversation with Candy Cane. Sometimes its good to slow down and be more attentional (as Aquaman says)…
