ANALYSIS

I was tired, didn't want to run in the rain, and was the last one to finish by 4 minutes. There were several reasons I did not want to go to DCF and several reasons that made me want to stop or lower my reps throughout... but the most important one got me there and kept me going - Pat Tillman.  I know a lot folks think he gets recognition because of celebrity media and football - I think he was a phenomenal and rare human being. There are very few people that would walk away from millions of dollars to first, stay loyal to the initial team that believed in him, and then second to fight for his country and when he thought that wasn't right, to stay the course and fulfill a commitment.  Maybe not right, but extraordinary.

In regards to my time and capacity, the pull-ups killed me. Again, no cycling on the band. I essentially completed 105 dead hang pull-ups. F. That.  I also really, REALLY, missed my 6pm partners in crime. It just isn't the same without them.
