Welcome to RTP Mission Control! This page displays the Missions I have completed since rebooting this blog in 2021. The Missions are listed in chronological order. I have completed a total of eight Missions up to August 10, 2023. Missions 1-4 operated under my “daily accountability”system. For Missions 5-8 I have transitioned to “weekly accountability.”
On the last day of each Mission I have a series of “Judgement Day” Challenges where I test myself on the fundamentals. That is, running, swimming, push-ups, chin-ups and hanging leg raises. In addition, each Mission (after M1) has a specific skill or sport focus. For Mission 2 it was surfing, for Mission 3 it was competing in a triathlon, and Mission 4 was shooting under 100 for 18 holes in golf!
