Jason,
What a test! Dude!!!! Forget the physicality of the event,(though it was beyond comprehension) I saw someone who has a tremendous amount of compassion and respect for his art, others, and himself. You were calm and always in control which is a tribute to your intellect. The determination you expressed continually during your test says a lot about you. Many in that situation pass. Few impress so many. Your physical attributes were secondary to your understanding of what you were involved in. You get it! No doubt you are a wonderful father, son and husband.
This is but one event in your life. As I witnessed your determination I thought there is nothing that will prevent you from conquering all other issues that confront you. Remember the day. Embrace it. Never forget it. It means a lot. You will need to call on it in the future as a bellwether of your future success. The world is yours my friend!
Lastly, great job brandx….a wonderful display of community. The opportunity that you give so many to succeed should be so gratifing and rewarding. The opportunity to fulfill ones’s potential ...what could be more important…congrats to all.
with respect,
Dan
p.s. I can’t wait to train with Jason again…errr….wait, last time I did it took me 2 months to recover!
