When I looked down at his ankles it revealed gashes of blood streaming from his ankle. He left a trail on the ground that followed us while he pushed the Tire.
"Tristan you have to get that check out." I insisted.
"They're just blood blisters." He shrugged pushing the tire.
"If they get infected there going to amputate your foot." I joked.
He gave me a smile before pushing the tire further. One thing I've noticed about Tristan is he wasn't a quitter and he cared a whole lot about this. I admired him for that but it was always hard to keep up with him. We were just a few steps away from a small victory and it felt amazing. With a few big pushes I made it. I had pushed a tire for two miles straight. That right there seemed like an accomplishment in itself.
"Where's sargent? Wouldn't he be with travis?" I asked.
"You mean micheal?" He asked catching his breath.
"That's his name?" I laughed.
"He switched out to another section." He admit.
I gave him a nod before we started our sprint. Why in the world would he do that! I mean this was the start to a new beginning he couldn't just quit now?
"Do you know why he left?" I asked panting.
"Not sure I do know he had another section. They've been buds for a while." He admit.
"That makes sense." I gave him a nod.
We ran until it felt like our feet were falling off. Everything was going blank, my vision and everything else that came with it. I never knew this could be so hard. A little warning would've been nice you know. My brother and my grandfather trained but nothing like this. This was human torture. I took a break to catch my breath.
"No cmon Josh you can't stop." He stopped for a moment.
"So why are you stopping!" I tried to catch my breath.
"Because you stopped!" He shouted.
"You two start running now!" Commander yelled.
"Sir yes sir!" We chorused.
We began finishing our way to the finish. I decided to sprint my way there. The faster it ended the faster I would be able to take a shower. Tristan caught up to me I'm guessing he caught the memo.
We made it across the line and I stumbled to my feet placing my arms above my head.
"Did I say you could stop!" Commander yelled.
"No sir!" I panted.
"So why in the hell did you stop!" He shouted.
I got up as my calves began to cramp. I ran over to the mud and threw my body on the floor. Tristan was already a quarter done. I took a deep breathe before crawling my way through the course.
"Don't let that body touch the ground!" Commander yelled.
I tried to keep going but I couldn't anymore.
"Why in the hell did you stop!" He yelled.
"I can't!" I cried.
"Then so help me God and go ring that fucking bell you coward!" He shouted.
I took a deep breathe and collected my thoughts. I wasn't ready to quite we just started. It was too early to quit. I stood my ground and began crawling making it all the way through.
"33:42 for the entire course." He announced.
"You're discharged." He nods.
I felt to my knees as I chugged the water beside me. I couldn't help but let tears fall from my eyes. This was no training like I've ever felt before. I heard footsteps walking closer and I looked up slowly.
"Have you ever been tested this hard in your life?" Sargent brown asked.
"Never." I spoke out breath.
"Get used to it sunshine cause this is only going to get a whole lot harder." He smirked.
He walked away and Tristan walked over to help me up.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Just ravishing." I smiled sarcastically.
