Preamble:
Well, a rough start to showing up to Academy in 2024 made me step up my game and make myself accountable by committing to Q on a cold, rainy, and windy morning. With only 2 HCs (besides me), I was thinking it would be a quiet morning. But then, car after car started showing up in the parking lot and the sad thought of a quiet morning disappeared. Great to see some of the Academy regulars plus the OG Cotter, Crack, and new Academy regular, Joker. I gave the absolute perfect disclaimer (ask Devito) where everyone essentially waived any right to anything and then informed the PAX that there would be no hiding from the cold rain, this is Academy and we face adversity head on! We are here to grow and get better and we can’t do that while hiding from a little cold rain.Warm-O-Rama:
We don’t warm up! We work hard for 1 hour!The Thang:
So, if you want to call it a “warm up” we ran a mile to get started and get the blood flowing. If you know me at all, you know I hate to let a good stadium go to waste. I also have fond memories of this specific stadium as I played high school football here and spent many a summer afternoon putting in the reps on the stadiums, so of course its Stadium of Pain in the Cold Rain!
