Maybe it\u2019s because I\u2019m still reeling from the Toughest Mile on Track from Rubber Ducky\u2019s IS beatdown at the start of the month\u2026 or maybe it\u2019s because it\u2019s because it\u2019s the crown jewel of the Hanes Park AO\u2026 or maybe it\u2019s because YHC knows running up hills isn\u2019t as easy as it used to be? Regardless, the initial idea, grew into a solidified plan, and we did infact stay there for the entire beatdown. The next planning phase revolved around making it a 20&#215;25 beatdown. Should be easy to plan, not easy to do.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who don\u2019t know, the challenge from YHC this year has been dubbed\u00a0 \u201c<\/span><b>20&#215;25<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, with 20 sets of 25 reps.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schlitz and Palin were also running in before the beatdown &#8211; we only used our legs the entire time running up and down the intimidator &#8211; so I don\u2019t think they regretted that decision at all.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With three of the present PAX having done EC&lt; it put YHC in a #flatline-esque mood, so after the Mission Statement and Core-Principles were given, we ran straight over to the Intimidator to get started.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We got in our 25&#215;20=500 reps, plus 2.3 miles up and down the Intimidator today. We skipped a set of American Hammers, and almost missed the 20th set if it weren\u2019t for a unionizing Monkey Humper with the 6 toward the end. Crisis averted.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glad that Footy was keeping an eye out, because Zesty rolled in about 1 minute after left. Footy got his attention and got him over to us so he could enjoy the beatdown.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTW, love the new nickname Palin was using for $5 Footlong, of Footy, versus $5 as YHC previously used.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A freshly turned 32-year-old Zesty jumped right in and didn\u2019t slow down the entire morning. He has his VQ NEXT WEEK and is definitely ready. He did not seem to enjoy spending the whole time on the Intimidator, so hopefully his VQ uses the AO better than YHC did today.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good talking with Schlitz running up and down the intimidator. YHC talked with him about making mistakes, and the importance of knowing when we make them. Something YHC still struggles with, but this group has a good way about it of helping YHC see my own flaws more clearly and owning my mistakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We then talked about how Quadraphelia, followed by Monkey Humpers, and then running down hill made us feel like toddlers on the verge of falling down.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An outdoor cat scared Palin. Scared him good. He still didn\u2019t scream though. Then a car drove by and the PAX expressed concern for the cat. Palin showed zero concern after saying the cat gained an extra life from him.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Footy then started a conversation of whether that implied Palin was a cat with multiple lives? It got weird for a second\u2026 but it does lead YHC to point out that Footy has really turned it on here lately. Posting a ton, potentially starting a new AO, and really upping his game. He might even be joining an Ultra team at the Ragnar?!? Well done, sir!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drip posted to High Life last night, and posted less than 12 hours later at Conspiracy.
