Accumulation

Sunday night we received a message on the F3 Gastonia Facebook page (yes, we have one) from a fellow interested in Storm and Goat information and locations. Responded back to him with all the proper information and let him know we looked forward to seeing him there. Our FNG, Michael King, showed up an endured a glorious first F3 experience beat down by YHC. Michael recently moved here from Georgia, is a Triathlete, worked at Fox5 and now joins the Fox46 family here in Charlotte. Tesla was quick to run down the crazy name path, again, and suggested “Rabies” because Fox’s carry them, SMH. Anchorman was thrown out, and because that is one of my favorite movies, it stuck. Please welcome Anchorman (Respect)!!

Monday night a random storm popped up in the area. I thought to myself how appropriate, a storm the night before I Q at the Storm. With the rain accumulating outside I decided to write a “rain-out” weinke just in case I had to keep the workout dry. It was so wonderfully drafted that I decided to use it as the WOD.

Moleskin:

I am going to be transparent here and state that I am not a spiritual leader. It is not that I am not a spiritual person, I just struggle. I have never read the bible, but I know there is a higher power telling me everyday that I need to open it and read. I’m trying to be better and must admit being surrounded by all of you encourage me to be better, spiritually. All I can say is keep ending your workout with prayer, keep having 3^rd F events, keep posting spiritual articles daily on Twitter as you have no idea how much this helps someone like me.

Announcements:

5/28 – Memorial Day 5K, Convergence, Murph

Prayer requests: Def Leppard in his travels, The Children (school choices, summer break, etc.), Breaker Breaker’s Aunt and church friend mission trip, JK2’s Dad, YHC’s co-worker battling Chron’s and depression

Thank you again for letting me lead this group. It is truly an honor and privilege!
