100 Check ins

Carl Hendricks walked into Outpost fully kitted out in his pirate do-rag, earring, lifting gloves, a Cap 10K race shirt from 1994, and a no-quit attitude.
​
I knew what he was going to say before he said it.

“I’m an old runner. I keep getting hurt running...”

Yada yada yada.

I honestly expected him to last a couple weeks and bounce — especially after I watched Randi absolutely fu***ng crush him in both weight and effort at 67 years old.

But Carl took his licks from a 67-year-old woman like a man.

And came back.

And came back.

And came back.

And here we are: 100 fu***ng check-ins.

The dude doesn’t miss.

Sure, he still looks like Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball. Sure, he still wears those disgusting fu***ng lifting gloves every session. I don’t know if he’s got some sort of sensory thing going on or just likes to keep his hands soft for the ladies.

Either way, Carl checks every box for what it takes to be successful at Atomic — and probably at life.

He shows the f**k up.

Kris Voorhees gets the buckle!!!
