Hi all!~

It has been a long semester with heavier workloads and more intensive training(if you know what I mean). We have come to the end of our training cycle for this semester and it has been great training along with everyone! Hope that everyone have improved physically but more importantly, achieved a higher level of mental stamina and endurance to face whatever that may hit you. I believe Mountaineering is more than just climbing and whatever we have went through together will always stay within us because there can only be 1 MIR11!

The main objective of MIR’s training is primarily to build strong bonds among the members and it’s secondary task is to ensure our members are fit and ready to attack the mountains which they have set their sights on. Through this assessment phase, I hope that you will be able to see the rapport you have built over the last semester as you push each other towards greater heights in terms of physical and mental strength as you overcome these assessments!

Next Week: 10km Fast March, Beep Test, MIR Challenge
