Writing these recaps gives me goosebumps! A year ago I was so humbled, proud, excited, and a bit exhausted as I wrote about the wild ride that was our first year at the new studio! I never thought we could top those 365 amazing days! Well, looking back, I think we’ve done it! Here are the significant moments of our sophomore season!
- We changed our logo in August but it wasn’t until the following April that we installed the sign!
- Los Neuty Osos more than doubled in size as 24 badasses conquered Tough Mudder New England together! Notable statistics for this event:
- Orange Headbands – 24
- Ladies – 10
- Gentlemen – 14
- Virgins – 14
- Veterans – 10
- Married couples – 2
- Newly engaged couples – 1
- Pairs of brothers – 1
- Pairs of sisters – 2
- Ages 28-59.98
- Average age 39.08
- Complaints – 0!
- Pairs of shoes worn – 23
Although he wasn’t on our team, the Big Man really inspired us!
- Roughly 1 month later a different pack of Osos represented at Bold r Dash! I did OK for a minimalist in competing against some local OCR racers.
- Kids ruled our Open House! This inspired us to add birthday parties to our list of Services! Once again, happy birthday to Mary, Seamus, Olivia, Avery, Carissa, Alex, Alexis, Keira, and anyone else I forgot to mention!
- I became RI’s first MovNat certified trainer! Since then our skills and mobility have improved significantly!
- The First Laidy and I went on our last vacations before expanding our family!
- The First LbF Wedding was a blast! We cannot confirm it brought the gift of fertility, but we’d like to think we had an influence as Alison & Chris are expecting in October!
- World’s Toughest Mudder definitely tested me but I met my goal!
- Our 2nd Annual Free Thanksgiving Class featured the “Kitchen Sink” circuit! Our clients were extremely generous with their donations to the RI Food Bank!
- Once again our clients were extremely generous with our 2nd Annual Giving Tree in support of local families!
- The Frozen Clam blew up in its 3rd year! It was the coldest, yet most successful Clam ever, raising $5,000! Thanks again to our clam dippers and sponsors!
- That was so much fun that we started doing monthly dips!
- It was our way of showing Winter that we’re not intimidated!
- We started hosting monthly meetings for the local Weston A. Price Foundation Chapter!
- As a result of these meetings, we became part of Farm Fresh RI’s Market Mobile Programwhich delivers local food to the studio!
- After doing our homework we selected a supplement line that is keeping our bodies young, fresh, and (mostly) pain-free! Ask for a shot of OPC-3 (aka the “purple miracle”) at the bar!
- Kettlebella joined the party! Check out her class on Wednesday nights!
- The First Laidy showed us that women can be beautiful and strong while with child! It was humbling and inspiring to watch, as she carried her body with such grace and even taught class at 38 weeks!
- I witnessed the most impressive display of mental toughness and physical endurance I’d every seen as she delivered The Prince of LbF! Luke’s been schooling us on MovNat since!
- Bold r Dash on the Beach was a bunch of fun as always!
- 2014 Winter Tough Mudder Training was EPIC! The first half of our 18 week program was in snow! These badasses took it all in (short, fast) stride.
- The award for most FFabulous day of the year goes to Los Neuty Osos at Tough Mudder New England on 6/1! We had an “event high” 38 highly trained badasses hold strong and finish together for the greatest accomplishment of our brief, yet storied history. This brought our Orange headband total to 84.
