The Arrival<\/b><\/div>\n
PAX rolled in a full 15 minutes earlier than the Mayhem norm<\/b>. YHC was already on site, alone, because no one likes to pre-burpee \u2014 because nothing says \u201cwelcome\u201d like being sweaty before the workout even starts.<\/div>\n
Then the surprises began. Woodpecker \u2014 whom YHC thought was allergic to bootcamps \u2014 wandered into the gloom (before all the rest). We’re still waiting on confirmation that he wasn\u2019t kidnapped and dropped off against his will. It might have also been the first time Boomerang showed up at Mayhem, proving he actually knows there is more than just TRQ and Purgatory. And of course, the rest of the crew trickled in, some looking like they mistook \u201c30\/30\u201d for \u201c30 extra minutes of sleep.\u201d<\/div>\n
By the time we circled up, it was clear: something different was brewing. MayHIM had begun.<\/div>\n
\n
The Thang \u2013 Beatdown (1st F)<\/b><\/div>\n
We opened with a recycled IPC-style grinder:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • \n
    10-yard broad jump<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    10 burpees<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    10 merkins<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    10 WWIIs<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    10 squats<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    3 rounds (30 yards)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Bear crawl back to start<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • Repeat, AMRAP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    PAX pushed hard at their own pace and modified as needed. Shared suffering set the tone.<\/div>\n
    \n
    The Build Up \u2013 Fellowship\/Discussion (3rd F)<\/b><\/div>\n
    We circled up over coffee to sharpen one another around this question:<\/div>\n
    \u201cHow do you respond or reset when your plans or goals fail?\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n
    The conversation was honest and encouraging. Many shared experiences, wisdom, and words that pointed us toward resilience and forward movement.<\/div>\n
    \n
    The Format & Reminders<\/b><\/div>\n
      \n
    • \n
      Move men to advantage.<\/b>\u00a0MayHIM is not a mope session or comfort circle. It\u2019s about growth.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Confidentiality is essential.<\/b>\u00a0What\u2019s shared in the group stays in the group. Each story belongs to the man who told it.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Knowledge is nothing without action.<\/b>\u00a0Each discussion should move us to ask:<\/div>\n
        \n
      • \n
        What\u2019s next?<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        How can I move forward and grow?<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Who can I seek help from?<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        How can I help pick up another PAX?<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        NMM (Mumblechatter)<\/b><\/div>\n
          \n
        • \n
          Van Gogh<\/b>\u00a0was an absolute beast, bounding across the field like he\u2019d trained for this exact IPC his whole life. YHC may or may not have had trouble keeping pace with the Dutch master.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Zima<\/b>\u00a0complained loudly that some PAX were \u201cgoing way too fast\u201d \u2014 though somehow he was right behind the leaders the entire time. Classic sandbagging disguised as commentary.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Frostbite<\/b> was mistaken for Huckleberry<\/b> multiple times in the gloom. The confusion was never fully cleared up, and there\u2019s a chance both men are still out there somewhere swapping identities.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Wobegon <\/b>reportedly tried to barter one of his broad jumps for two squats, citing medieval exchange rates. Denied.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • Apparently, The workout wasn\u2019t difficult enough for Madoff<\/strong> who decided to do hand release Merkins instead of regular Merkins.<\/li>\n
        • Wobegon<\/strong> also makes very good coffee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
          Final Word<\/b><\/div>\n
          This was a strong start. The Beatdown. Build Up.<\/b>\u00a0format worked just as it was designed: sweat together, then strengthen one another. Excited to see how this grows and continues to forge HIMs out of Mayhem.<\/div>\n
