2 Year Anniversary!

AO: the-castle
Q: Chunks
PAX: Horizon, The Merchant, Mr. Pancake, hambone, Pep, Strutter, Cross-stitch, Fabuloso, Squatter, Space Baby, Juicy J, Brown Slip, Butterfingers, Victoria, Fanny Pack, Flipper, Abacus, Diddy Kong
FNGs: 2 Abacus, Diddy Kong
COUNT: 19
Celebrated the 2 Year Anniversary of The Castle’s start as an OTB workout.

Moseyed to the parking lot at the Drakes Creek baseball fields stopping for some Monkey Humpers at the traffic light.

Did some warm up exercises while having some story time about the start of the Castle. Grateful to Cross-stitch and Flipper for planting the seed before we got here. Thanks fellas.

Moseyed around the concession stand. Circled up for the Burpee Apocalypse with a lap around the stand after each set.

Moseyed back to the Startex with some more Monkey Humpers at the light. Then a sprint to the flag.

Finally, 5 mins of MARY and 5 Burpee buy out.

Announcements: LeanPax, Holy Smokers, F3 After Hours. Check Slack for all the details.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Brown Slip is the New AOQ. Congrats brother.

Prayer requests: Travel, Strutter’s family

COT: Was absolutely blown away, yesterday. I didn’t want to start an AO in Hendersonville and was told by several people. “Oh we’ve tried and it’s never worked”. Sunshine pushed me to do it along with Pep , hambone and others committing to coming up from Nashville and beyond. So we launched as an OTB workout, Jan 2024. To see 19 HIMs there, was beyond anything I could comprehend. There were times when it was 2 or 3 of us. Then Dilbert showed up and EH’d every single person he met. Then Strutter arrived from NC, bringing the energy from the mother land.

There are countless others to thank. Thank you all for showing up, leading and investing in the fastest growing AO in Nashville with the best coffeetria. I’m excited to see what is next for the HIMs beyond the Wall (Old Hickory Blvd). White House is growing and it’s just a matter of time before another AO is Hendersonville starts.

SYITG,
Chunks
