    Opening and warmups. Warmups were just stretching
    Beatdown was supposed to be suicides all 100 yards of football field with different exercises thrown in every 10 yards, but there were no parking lot lights and it was impossible to see yard markers. We did 1 complete suicide just regular with no exercises and realized it was really slippery and couldn’t make out yard markers. Called an audible and did some block work.

    Intro/Mission/COT

    ​THE THANG:
    Stepped off into the gloom this morning with heavy rucks and a heavier topic: Q-Source’s concept of "The Wax."
    ​We tackled the reality that every man’s life is a continuously burning candle, and our energy is completely finite. We hit three main stops along the route to audit where our wax is melting the fastest:
    1. ​The Burn Rate: We audited the last 48 hours. Most of us realized we hyper-manage our work efficiency but give our M and 2.0s the exhausted fumes of our energy.
    2. ​The Myth of "Later": Pulled some wisdom from Seneca. We discussed how driven men fall for the Jester’s lie that we will be present later once a project launches or work slows down. The reality is that our kids' foundations are being poured right now; they cannot be paused.
    3. ​Reclaiming the Wax: We challenged each other to build structural boundaries this weekend to mentally drop the ruck of work before walking through the front door.
    ​COT:
    Reminded the PAX that the companies we work for would replace us in a heartbeat, but to our families, we are entirely irreplaceable. The challenge for the week: Stop letting the Third Circle steal the brightest part of your flame. Go home and lead.
