Circle of Trust

I shared with the PAX how this is the last BD going into Lincoln Games. And how BD’s are a micro example of doing more to push yourself…Lincoln Games…is the macro.

Today’s workout was fueled by some different types of disruption: Crawling in sand, burpees in the river, jumping over and through giant tubes we were lucky enough to have laying in the area and more.

Lincoln Games is the ultimate disrupter. It’s my favorite event of the year. And while it’s only 6 days long… it amplifies all 3 F’s to the extreme more than the other 359 days of the year. When you sit and look at it you might think “how the hell is this possible???”. And that’s the point. What’s starts with a question can only have an answer. This makes anything is possible.

Yes or no.

It’s up to you to choose to do it. Iron Sharpens Iron.

Prayers.

Salute to the 7 PAX who came out for “anything” today. There was a PreBlast vibe of going in the river which may have derailed a level of comfort in some PAX. Those who HC’d…respect.
