COT

Word of the day – “failure.” We each approached or encountered failure throughout this workout; how much do we risk failure in our everyday lives? Q told embarrassing story about how he crashes every single time he goes mountain biking. If you never fail, how do you know you are reaching your potential? If you never fail, it may be because you avoid situations in which you could fail, and thus miss opportunities to learn and grow.


Moleskin

Q is willing to reimburse PAX for tricep transplants after alternating holding coupon overhead with inchworm merkins. PAX must submit itemized receipt by close of business 10/16 to be eligible.

PAX discussed merits of different coupon holds, primarily through grunts

Disappointment swept through the group as we realized we would not be able to hit the 30 lap goal proposed on Slack.
