Some Gave All

5 Men showed up in the gloom for the Memorial Day beat down at Tectonic. A morning where it would have been much easier to just roll over in bed, make an excuse about the conditions and claim “I aint workin out in that crap” These men made the decision to do the harder thing and post for a tough workout (promised ahead of time to be an extra 15 minutes) while honoring those that have served for our country.

Conditions: Monsoon that happened to let up on us a little during the middle of the workout. HUMID

Secondary Disclaimer: probably adjusting Q on the fly a little, bare with me.

Mosey to well-known Tectonic Triangle

Intro to meaning of choosing this area for the morning. During the suffering of Lt. Dan series, YHC was frantically trying to wrap my head around how to adjust from initial plan. Focusing on the purpose of the morning and Holiday helped me out. When a soldier is laid to rest, many times, the only item left for the family to remember them by is a traditionally folded American Flag honoring their service to their country. This triangle is the closest we can get to that honor this morning, so we’ll spend the rest of our time honoring the folded flag given in memory of a soldier.
