Mik lifts Harry into a shoulder ride and sets off at a racing pace, very brash and very quick and as we know from past experience this is not a wise thing to do. Before long Mik is sweating and getting hot and you get the impression all is not well.

Mik lifts Harry into a shoulder ride and sets off at a racing pace, very brash and very quick and as we know from past experience this is not a wise thing to do. Before long Mik is sweating and getting hot and you get the impression all is not well. As he lifts his T-shirt to try and cool down as he strides along with the small but compact weight of Harry on his shoulders and he reveals a small paunch. So that's why he is sweating, he is out of condition and carrying a few extra pounds. He drops Harry and removes the T-shirt completely, man is he out of shape. This goes to prove that all guys need to do lift and carry to stay in good condition and keep their muscle tone. His face says it all, brash yes, able to carry off the bravado - doubtful. But there is time to rest and he now has Harry in a piggy back ride and there is a noticeable drop in pace. The muscles on his arms are trying their best to compensate for the lack of tension in his belly and that's a toxic mix. He drops Harry again and tries to play for time but Harry is having none of it and soon remounts in the piggy back and they are off again. Mik's wobbly legs cause another drop and this time the remount is OTS and again no time to rest, Harry seems to know just how to keep the pressure on. A drop and this time Mik has to stretch to ease his back - because his front is so out of shape no doubt, and the remount OTS is on the opposite side. It's not long before another remount is needed as Mik is flagging fast, a swap of shoulders for the OTS and off he staggers. The next drop and Harry relents a little and goes back to a piggy back ride but even this is too much for Mik and he soon drops the lad again. This time he has to pause as his back is really aching and he is gasping for air. A remount, piggy back, and Mik trudges off out of the scene with Harry clinging on as he knows Mik has no strength left to hold him up. A great lesson to all carries out there - stay in shape or pay the price.
