For the second time in my adult life, I descend upon Tampa to hang out with family.

Gasparilla

Got to participate in the third largest festival in north america.

Staying Strong

I visited a military gym near McDill Airforce base. The soldiers there inspired me to work extra hard

Each day I did something like:

  • 40 mins row machine
  • 40 mins bike station
  • 40 minutes stair master with 45 lb weighted vest
  • dozen sets of burpees with 15lb dumbbells
  • dozen sets of pullups, dips and single armed pushups.

I would than descend upon an all you can eat restaurant and put them to the test.

Conclusion

I found my visit to Tampa to be an amazing experience of spending time and discovering new things. There is a large military presence here which was my career in my early to mid 20’s. I got to reunite with my other cousin who I hadn’t seen in 30 years.
