Who said that?  I wonder how young you have to be to not know the actor's name that said that or that character he played with the phone in his shoe?  Anyway what I missed was beating Zach.  A pipe dream most of the time but because the workout was an Epic, an advantage for me, and had KB work and double unders in it, more advantages for me, I thought I might pull it off.  Zach admitted that there was a time when I was far enough ahead that he was on the verge of letting me go.  But sadly, for me, he soldiered on and I was only one rep of the squat clean thrusters ahead of him when he started doing them.  No chance I can go head to head with him with a strength exercise.  He blitzed through them and smoked me.  That kid is tough to beat.  Lance had to do it by himself this morning and that adds 2 or 3 mintues for sure.  Dementia...what a killer.  Nick was right behind us and his time yesterday was a much larger victory over me in a short than my victory over him in this Epic.  I am becoming less and less adequate in my own gym.
