last day of the burpee challenge

As many of you know today is the final day of the burpee challenge. What an epic challenge, it seemed simple on paper. Do 1 burpee on day one and 2 on day two and so on for 100 days. We had many interested clients, each client put their name on the white board and off we went. This challenge seemed unforgiving in nature. It didn’t care if you were tired, sore, sick, or busy. The days went buy and the number of burpees increased and the number of names decreased. At some point in the challenge each person was faced with the fact that they would have to make up a day or more to stay on track. There is a true mental toughness and drive to make it through these make up days and continue to do burpees the next day. There is no doubt in my mind that the few clients that have made it through this challenge possess this mental toughness. I heard stories about burpees in hotel room, 300+ burpee makeup days, seen burpees before and after the WOD. So without further a due congratulation to those few that made it:Tammy,Kris, Kellie, Paul, Kat, aka Land shark, Mike, Monte and Traper. Nice job or good job just doesn’t seem to say enough, truly what an astronomic, colossal, considerable, enormous, epic, gigantic, ginormous, humongous, jumbo, mammoth, massive, mega, monumental, prodigious, sizeable, tremendous, vast, very big, very large, whopping. Nicely done, Yes it’s done.
