shout out...

shout out to ryan for rowing a 3:18 1,ooo meters @155#.

shout out to erin, and pickup for rowing a 3:24 1,000 meter row.

erin may have only been in the gym a few months, but he worked hard, and enjoyed every moment of it. for being a cyclist rowing is probably not the most practical or beneficial activity, but erin seemed to love it. i set a goal for him before his long racing season. he crushed it. he smoked himself. he made me proud he came through the gym. have fun this season.

Dave Downing is an inspiration to a few people at the gym. He had a great attitude, work ethic, and perspective on life. All things everyone strives to achieve. He's often in UT and many of us from the gym have the pleasure of snowboarding with him when he is. It's only a matter of time before he leaves his footprint (Physically) in the facility.

to make up for it, wear a vest with the kettle bells.

props to dustin for conjuring up the workout.

Some things are bigger than an excuse to get drunk. Question your desire. Question your ability. Give respect to those who respect you. Everyone seems to make an excuse, and blame something, or someone. The reality is you control what you do. No one influences you more than yourself. If you want something, go get it. Own up to the possibility of failure. But when failure is the outcome, live with it, shut up and refocus.

Shout out to Steve, Dustin, and Ryan for not submitting to "pressures" of this holiday. The reality is today is like any other day. While you were hungover they were working.
