Imitation is the Sincerest Form – from Jose10k

They say mimicry is the highest form of flattery—so after Steve’s BLIMPS beatdown, I brought that same fire to the seasoned crew at The Gipper.

We kicked things off with a fast-paced warm-up, then hit the streets:
• Ran toward the courthouse with karaoke halfway, switching sides, then backpedaled each block—capped with 20 squats.
• Rinse and repeat: karaoke, reverse, backpedal, 20 squats.

Then came the main event:
• 5 burpees at the bottom, run up the garage, down the stairs, sprint across.
• Then: 5 burpees, 10 lunges, 15 imperial walkers, 20 merkins, 25 plank jacks, 30 squats.

For the finale, we hit 30 squats at every level on the way down, one last round at the courthouse, and a final series of karaoke, reverse, and backpedal all the way back to the flag.

Moby closed us out with a heartfelt prayer—for Steve and his grandfather’s funeral, for Coachella’s job search, and for Einstein’s son at his conference.

Honored to lead. Respect to the men who showed up and pushed. One thing though: still no Mandevillians in Covington again. I guess I should log a formal complaint with the Wacker!
