I had the pleasure of spending this past Saturday with combat rescue. It really was an incredible experience
to observe and learn from these quiet professionals.
There are brave men and women out there that will gladly risk their
lives to ensure yours is saved. I
am thankful for their sacrifices and devotion to duty.
I have to say…there is nothing like being tossed into the
ocean, man handled by a PJ and then hoisted into a helicopter. Afterwards I looked at the PJ and said,
“you and I are forever connected…. you put your legs around my hips, now we are
bonded for life.”
I follow Lisbeth Darsh’s blog, http://wordswithlisbeth.com/2014/03/23/to-make-a-fire/,
and in her post this morning she briefly discussed the intensity and focus of
starting a fire. What could we
accomplish if we focused that intensity on ourselves and becoming better at one
or two tasks? If we could really
hone in on this concept I personally believe we could change the world. Jeff Olson talks about what it takes to
create the Slight Edge…it is being consistent day in and day out. While others muddle along the truly
courageous focus their “fire building” and consistently become better over
time.
CrossFit morning.
It is a Chipper version of the 14.4 open workout. I am going to call it Rescue…because
when you are done you will need someone to “rescue” you.
20 Min AMRAP
Run 400 meters
25 Toes to Bar
20 Wall Balls
15 Cleans (135/95)
10 Chest to Bar Pull ups
I scaled all parts and was able to get 2 complete
rounds. Everyday I feel like I am
getting stronger and stronger. My
diet and pull-ups are going to be the focus.
