Immediately ascended 700ft in the first mile.
Over the course of 4hours and 8.5miles totaled a 1700ft elevation gain. Took a few stops along the way to take in the views from various lookout points. The perfectly day allowed us to see the building profiles of Reston Town Center and Tysons Corner over 40 miles away. MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Feb… Burden Run
Mar 2…CSAUP Ruck
Apr…Marathon Ruck

COT:
Pointed out to the PAX that by doing the greatest elevation ascent (i.e the hardest thing) in the very beginning of the ruck was not all that different to why standard BDs are at held at 5:30am.

Reshared words from a recent BD that I thought was appropriate “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.” ROMANS 12:2 (NLT)

5 steps to transform yourself emotionally:
Rick Warren:
1. Reveal the hurt
2. Release those that have hurt me
3. Replace old thoughts with God‘s truth
4. Refocus on the future
5. Reach out to help others that are hurt

Closing prayer
