The Inaugural Gathering

The inaugural gathering of midnight madness achieved its goal with stellar execution. The turn out was inspiring. Over a dozen strangers converged in a physical space to do physical work haunted by trepidation with a spirit of self doubt whispering in their ears. A desire to overcome whatever obstacle set before them quickly subdued any crippling emotion they may have felt. The need to complete the task at hand made heroes out of few and made others come face to face with the champion within. Every attendee completed the evolution. The best performer was rewarded with another round of the punishment he waded through only moments before. The others sought redemption by performing even more acts of self destructive valor. The Mad Man of the week was JT. His strength moves were spot on and grinding. His timed efforts were done with purpose. He truly earned his reward. The other players are no less praiseworthy. Each showed up and delivered to the limit of their ability and beyond. At the end of the evolution, passing comments of disbelief in what was accomplished could be heard echoing off of the scattered plates and kettlebells that lie motionless in a wake of sweat. Instantly addicted, they requested more.
