Cinderella called this the Rolex of workouts. Cinderella says a lot of things I don’t really understand, but Rolex’s current slogan is, “The Benchmark for Excellence.” This reminded me of the Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Like Ricky, when these hearty PAX woke up this morning, they all pissed excellence. Then they grabbed their kettlebells, and ventured out into the gloom. In order to maintain that level of excellence, we big, hairy, American winning machines started on time and zipped through an abbreviated WU…
