Having started in April 2023, our RFLXN season comes to a conclusion at the end of March, but not without an explosive program to bid its farewell. As we reflect one final time, we take a look back at the season. Did we accomplish everything that we set out to do? Are we satisfied with what we accomplished? Is our worth determined by what we accomplished? Each event in March further sets up the season finale with a final RFLXN that will leave you at the edge of your seat wanting to get closer and closer.
