Great first workout for launch of The Brave. Thanks to all the Pax who decided to give it a shot. Everyone worked hard and we pushed the pace. Keep coming out – we will keep it interesting – there are lots of great obstacles at this AO.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead – its aways an honor and privilege
