Moleskin – In order to write this BB, YHC is simply smashing my face into the keys hoping to make something legible. Way to work today fellas. The merkins were of high quality, the mumble chatter was kept to a minimum and we got to WORK!

Perspective is an interesting thing. At the close of the COT, YHC reflected and thought there was no way more could have been done. It seemed like every available minute was spent doing merkins of the highest quality with a balance of minimal recovery so we could do as many as possible in the alotted 45 minutes. YHC could not have been more wrong. The Forge crew banged out an impressive 660 perscribed merkins. This is a good thing. Their creativity and effort became an obstacle to our victory. YHC was reminded of a favorite quote by Marcus Aurelius:

“Our actions may be impeded, but there can be no impeding our intentions or dispositions. Because we can accommodate and adapt. The mind adapts and coverts to its own purpose the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

YHC is getting that tingly feeling just thinking about how many merkins can be completed by an entire pax in 45 minutes. Game on.
