So, I’ll be breaking it down in pieces over the next few days, and do my best to give this past weekend at the GORUCK Games and everyone involved due representation. The significance weighs heavily on me. The rucksack I wore for 16 miles on the beach, the sandbags I hauled slung across my shoulders, and the waterlogged shoes that seemed to drag me down to the bottom of the ocean as I swam through the starlit salt water.. all of it feels light in comparison to the meaning that those 48 hours hold. It was a heavy weekend. Everything bore down on your spine, mind, and soul. In the end, it came down to a simple question: how well can you handle this load and keep moving with it? And I’m not just talking about pure physical load. I’m talking about cumulative cognitive, psychological, and spiritual duress. Past, present, & future converges in these moments, and you get a chance to see what you’re really made of. How do you handle the unknown? Can you take some hits and keeps going? What is your response to discomfort and challenge? How quickly can you learn? Can you perform under pressure? GRIT, is ultimately what was curated. Overall, the experience reinforced something I strongly believe in: you can do anything you set your mind to. Courage, conscientiousness, perseverance, resilience, passion.. it will demand everything from you and it often comes down to the finest details. Winning the GORUCK Games was no exception. I, by no means, dominated. I won a good deal of events, but I was also close to last in others. Regardless, I trusted my preparation, believed in myself, and gave everything I had. Wit & strategy certainly came into play. And when it really mattered, I dug deep and threw down. The battle is won in the mind. #goruck #goruckgames #grit @goruck」4月29日 6時58分
