Helena arrived to the gym just a few minutes before 0400. Assessment and then MACO style training. After the last few days and her recurring fatigue and weakness, Helena thought she might have finally lost her mind. She would know for sure after today. She guzzler half a water bottle and stuck it in her bag as she walked through the gym door.

Laursen

Sergeant Kristensen was already there, but just barely. She was seated on a bench and was stretching her arms. She looked up and jerked her chin up once sharply in the universal greeting of ‘ ‘Sup?’ She stood up and said “Morrning, Lieutenant. Five minute warm up, then we will begin.” She pulled off the long sleeve sweatshirt she was wearing to reveal a sports tank. Her arms were massive, and her chest and shoulders appeared to be more at home on a professional athlete than a combat specialist.

Helena nodded back, “Good morning, Sargent.”
The woman was built Helena would admit. Exercise and training didn’t bother her, but sparing…she was goingbto have to work extra for that. Helena set her bag down and set on the floor and began stretching. When she was done she nodded to Kristen’s. “Whenever you are ready.”

Laursen

The Sergeant pointed to a treadmill and said “2 kilometers. Fast as you can. Go.” and she got the treadmill next to Laursen and began to run, slowly building up speed until she was at a three-quarters speed sprint.
