That sucked. It was originally going to be 3rnds of 800m run, with 10 fgrr & 20 bj but my legs were just too dead to do it. My left hamstring is still really fucked up and I have shin splints like it's my job or something. So I modded it after the first round so I could focus on going fast - I definitely crashed and burned going over a curb after the 800m run, and THEN I fell on the 7th box jump on my last set of box jumps. Left shin is all jacked up and now matches the right. Talk about FML. Luckily I got news today that I will be processing and completing all of my paperwork for the USMC tomorrow so I can go to OCS in October. Captain Leary hooked me UP. Note that this is the man who said he had "no confidence" I would be able to get in and maintain standards. This just goes to show that I'm damn good at what I do because if I had been a shitty MIDN and a shitty leader on top of bad PT, I wouldn't have this opportunity for a last shot at getting my Commission. God is definitely real and is definitely ensuring that this is my path. Feeling blessed.
