Now that the round of the “First Four” is over its time to get to the real madness. Pax moseyed over to the football field, counted off into four teams and the four “Regions” were identified. The workout areas were on the 10s and 50s of the field.

Championship Round

Pax counted off into 2 groups and took a shot at the “Sally” push-up challenge which came down to Nimbus and Barney almost making it to the end. Barney bested all of us this day, but I suspect we will all have another chance at this one again.

The prize for winning was a scratch off lotto ticket with a potential jackpot of $75,000.00.

Moleskin:

  • Polar Express is recovering well from his triple bypass surgery
  • Sterno’s LP9 and 2.0 are fighting through the flu and friend recently received a diagnosis of cancer
  • Gaylord’s Mother is not feeling well he is traveling to Memphis to be with her during this time
  • 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18 – Rejoice always, Pray Continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Let us all remember to Rejoice, Pray and Give thanks in all circumstances as we consider Christ’s love and sacrifice for us.

Bullhorn:

  • The Gauntlet is coming May 4th, if you would like to run the course with the AO leaders reach out to Barney. The CSAUP event will be 8 miles consisting of 5 AOs beginning and ending at The Forge.
  • The new Monday AO, Defiant kicks off this Monday the 25th at 5:30 am with a pre-party at 5:15.

Always a pleasure to lead.
