Circle of Trust
Talked about how when the winter comes and the weather gets cold we all figure out what we need to wear to stay warm and dry, either on the advice of PAX that have been through winters or by trial and error. The most important piece of equipment to get right though is your head. When the alarm goes off at 4:00 and the wind is howling outside, it can be temting to stay in bed. However, you will be glad you got out of bed and made the journey to the AO to be alngside the others guys who may have thought the same but who also pushed themselves. Don’t let your mind tempt you to stay inside on those days. Your mind and body will both thank you for getting out into the Gloom on those gloomy winter days.
