Beast Mode: Madison

10 years ago this month Shannon Marchant did Helen twice in a day to the astonishment of our entire gym. This afternoon Madison Bettys might have submitted her own Beast Mode for the next All-Decade list.

Maddy came in to the 4:30 session and put up a 21:04 Filthy Fifty, which was a pr for her (and also upgrading to a 24-in. box). Right when she finished her last double under I told her to stay off the ground and walk around for 2 minutes. During that time we talked about how much more was in the tank for her to not even have to lay down; a 6 on the General Fear Level scale means you want to be done for sure, but you don't have to lay down, and a 7 is what puts you on the ground whether you want to or not. And consider this: a 6-out-of-10 is 60%, which means Maddy gave a 60% effort to achieve a great Filthy Fifty time using mostly guys rx as a 19 year-old girl.

After Madison came to this realization, she decided to give it another try... at the very next freaking session. So at 5:30 she lined up at the 24-in. box again and then proceeded to put down a 19:48!

I'm telling you Madison, they're gonna have to eventually rewrite the fitness test standards at Toledo once you come to terms with how fit you actually are.

Great work kiddo!
