Amazing superhuman efforts by all..... Very grateful for your efforts as well keeping updates for us Troop...... Well done, grateful.....thank you very much.
Stay safe ....
You’re welcome! It was quite an impressive weekend of incredibly fit people showing what they’re made/capable of. Guess I should hit the gym!
My EOD detachment PT’d five days a week from 8am to noon, including a hour in a lap pool at the gym and a six mile run each morning. Local university allowed us to use their facilities to determine body fat percentage. Best I ever got was 9%. Wonder what these crossfit, top of the line professionals body fat percentages are ? Has to be low yet not so low as to be unhealthy enough to effect their endurance etc ....
Endurance was our goal as far as physical fitness.
