I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

No hugs.

Just imaging your situation - having given so much and worked so hard and not passed - hurts. So, I'm sorry you're there. I hope tat when you get more detailed feedback it makes sense to you.

It seems to me that you already are an asset to krav as a brown belt. I am infinitely more likely to try a lesson than I would be if I hadn't been hearing about it from you all this time.

Art Crawl!!!

ita, I'm sorry you didn't pass.

TAR: The airport stuff was excellent. And I can't believe all the non-musical people attempting to tune a piano !!!!

Ginger! I didn't know you had a black belt!

You couldn't tell it now. After my knees went and I wasn't training six days a week, I put on a ton of weight. I have yet to find another form of exercise that obsessed me the way Shotokan did.

A lot of karate instructors fail students on their first black-belt try. I don't know if that happens in krav. Normally it's because someone hasn't shown suffient dedication, but that certainly can't be the reason in your case, ita.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

ita, definitely no hugs, but add my sorrow that you didn't pass to everyone else's.

TAR: And now we know why it's a two-hour ep!! That's one hell of a spread between the teams, and must be giving the Guidos bad flashbacks to Alaska .

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously, sumi. Although to my not-perfect ear, it sounds like the standards for "tuned" were pretty low. I can see why they thought it was a good idea, though -- most tasks on the race don't call for any particular skill other than willingness.

Yeah, the difficulty with doing the task is balanced by the ease in figuring out the clue once they have it. And I wonder can anyone really come back from a 12= hour deficit ?

Because books.

TAR: The Auschwitz scenes are really, really difficult to watch.

Yes, they are and seriously? Arriving in the dark must make it even eerier. Also, I guess they figured out a way to get people caught pretty darn quickly.

Yeah. That was a nice balance of having them there, but not doing some stupid ass task. Although, it reminds me that I wish there had been a little more consciousness about the landmine task.

Okay, what happens if someone is a vegetarian??
