FIELD NOTES

I don’t know what was more painful, Big Boa’s superhuman training sessions...or being assigned to document one of them. I remember this one better than most shoots; he cleared out that gym like he owned the place. No Cobra snakelings dared to occupy any equipment while he was ripping through his routine, so he had the place entirely to himself. For hours. (Helmet stayed on the whole time.)

Felt like an eternity. As soon as he finally wrapped, I swear he turned around an went right back in there for round two.

I sure as hell did NOT.
