Right from the beginning cadre was straight forward: "You will need to be in the best physical shape of your life in order to be successful during the Evaluation weekend."
I have nobody else to blame, but myself...still i'm happy i was there and that i give it my best shot. Is just my best shot was not good enough, but i have learned a lot about my body and i know what i have to improve - this is priceless...
Imagine the same stress level for more than three weeks. Or even the shorter period it is now.
