ANNOUNCEMENTS: July 4th convergence at Catawba Ridge 0700 launch time

COT: The theme today was built around Struggle because the Summer Steam has kicked into high gear and the core of the F3 engine for me is Shared Suffering. These pax suffered through a tough workout with grit and encouragement throughout. The Struggle in the Gloom can be hard, but the hardest struggles come once we leave the parking lot after COT. The suffering life deals is real and difficult. And the personal struggles that exist inside the heart and mind can be the toughest of all.

Don't believe the lies in your head that other men aren't struggling. We all struggle, from the sharpest and fittest Nantan to the gimpy pax trying to get off IR. DON'T STRUGGLE ALONE! The reason we post is to build the grit and the brotherhood that will get us through every struggle!

Appreciate the contributions of all throughout the workout and in COT!

Thanks for the invite JWOW! You were missed.
