"It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit
belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by
dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short
again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause. Who, at the best, knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who
know neither victory nor defeat."
10 rounds plus 15 reps. Underestimated this bad boy.
So I head to the local "community centre" based gym. Actually, it's the Port Elgin Racquet Ball club that has a gym in it.
Warm up with some stretches, 5 minutes on the treadmill, then to the pullup bar. Bang out 15, then 15 HSPUSs. As I hop off the wall I realize that the gym has stopped to look at me. The whole gym. All 12 people haha.
Some of the "bigger" guys approach me soonafter and ask me to play on their rugby team. They play for the Bruce Barbarians lol. I replied with "but I'm pretty small, you guys are big cats." With a shrug and with his Irish accent he says "it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
