COT:
Much post-event discussion about the recent GTE-46 – SEND ME! revolved around the time spent under an 800lb log. Not one man in the entire group quit. Everyone’s DFQ was different. For me, the DFQ started before I signed up. I’d already made the decision that no matter what came along, I was going to finish. I think setting my mind and making that decision so far in advance was a mental preparation for the darkest hours and the toughest challenge. Quitting had already been eliminated as an option about a month before. There are many decisions like this that you may have time beforehand to make the decision so that in the heat of the moment, you’re able to stand tall and DFQ.
