8 brave gentlemen posted this beautiful, wet morning; a far cry from tests past. Me thinks a little water scared some people off. Remember, if it ain’t rainin’, we ain’t trainin’.
Regardless, we have a new points leader! Homeland killed it this morning to take over the top spot, led by a surge in situps and a killer run time. He has now gone from a 177 the first time around, to a 242 the 2nd time, to a whopping 279 this time around!! Private Ryan was the overall run time leader with a blazing 21:10. Hats off to Anvil who posted a 23:12 run time, right behind the speedy Trick Daddy. Can’t say enough about Anvil’s mindset. Dude went from a 33 the first time to a 146 and relishes in the challenge of getting better, rather than being stuck in a fixed mindset. Awesome.
1. Homeland – 279. (177 1st time, 242 second time)
2. Frostbite – 270. (252, 261)
3. Trick Daddy – 231. (175, 186)
4. Private Ryan – 226 (no prior score)
5. Total Package – 187. (175)
6. Backdraft – 177 (154, 180)
7. Anvil – 146 (33)
8. Luther – 122 (111)
Backdraft messed up our streak of everyone improving their scores. But I think he had some smoke inhalation, so we can let it slide this time. Big winners in the improvement category were Anvil (113 point improvement), Trick Daddy (45 point improvement), and Homeland again (37 point improvement). Great work gents.
Semper Fidelis,
