Today 7 men accomplished something that 8 men really struggled to do several weeks ago.

AAR:
I was speachless after whitnessing the effort you men put forth today. It felt kind of like the way a Cadre must feel when he sees guys giving it 100% and working as a team. I’ve never been prouder of the work that we did today and honored to have the chance to do it with you. EVERYONE pulled their weight. That LOG was horrible, but exactly what you’ll get in the challenge. Actually, once we figured out how to carry it we moved quickly as a team and we made great time.
Having guys like you really make it fun to be a TL. Especially at the end when Mr. Hankey and Daniel Son sprinted it out at the end. We all push each other to break through plateaus and the result is we all get better because of the overall efforts of the team. Thank you to Angler for owning his share of that log while being a little hurt. This guy stepped in when we needed him and there was no way that we would have carried it without him.
Cobra and Sasquatch – LOVE having you guys here and you embody everything that is TeamSPEARHEAD.
Mr. Hankey – badass. Nuff Said
Saurus – Can’t wait to see what you are capable of when you show up to the right SP, lol. But you were covered in sweat when we finally caught up to with you, so I know whatever you did was tough #selfmotivated
Daniel Son – You are in contention to rival Mr. Hankey for Top Dog…keep coming out and I bet you best him one day.
As always, it was a pleasure to lead such an amazing group of men today.
Respectfully, Shawn K. aka. The Hoff
