My last day of my Iron Q week and I wanted to do one of my Favs. I wanted to do the Currahee!!! Challenge at Mt Afton. For those of you that read or watched the Band of Brothers, you will know that the paratrooper would train by going up Currahee Mountain with the saying 3 Miles Up; 3 miles Down. It was test of their physical and mental toughness. Since Mt. Afton is definitely not 3 miles I modified and planned to do 3x up and 3x down. A total of 9 PAX joined in on the fun (plus a pre-rucker to make 10)
