CoT:
Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not Who Someone Else is Today
No matter how good you are at something, or how you rank your accomplishments,there is someone out there who makes you look incompetent.
You might object: I should be winning at everything! But winning at everything might only mean that you’re not doing anything new or difficult. You might be winning but you’re not growing, and growing might be the most important form of winning.
Happiness is to be found in the journey uphill, and not in the fleeting sense of satisfaction awaiting at the next peak.

We closed the books on IPC 2025. A few PAX earned their IPC t-shirts (remember – you can only wear it if you do all 5 IPC beatdowns).

WARMUP: Yep

ANNOUNCEMENTS: TODAY @ 5:30p: HH at Westover Beer Garden / 10/24: Old Rag Hike / 11/8: The Grunt
COT: No self-respecting trainer would program something like IPC Week 4 as a way to improve your physical conditioning. But the PAX do the training so that they can do CSAUPs like this. Mad respect to the PAX who turned out for this full-body enema. You could have slept in or gone to another AO, but you chose the hard path. Good on you.
