Lost in the Triangle

Conditions: 54 degrees, and mildI will admit to having a rather sleepless night prior to my first Q. I was busy trying to control all the scenarios going on in my head. I had thoughts like, “What if I have a record crowd and I run out of benches for this section?” and “Is there enough lighting in the park for the circuit?” I found what I really needed to ask myself was, “Can I make it out of this darned Bermuda Triangle circuit I installed in the middle of the park on my first Q?” The routine looked a lot more fun on the F3 website than in reality. It was a real challenge, but the crew eventually made it out of the troubled waters of Rectory Square afloat. He’s how we sailed.DisclaimerCOP

Run on your own tomorrow. Polo will be with us Saturday to help again. He asks Pax to keep workouts in mind for their turn at Q. Cornwallis gives a brief explanation of F3 for the FNG’s that have joined us recently. Timber adds that the faith aspect of F3 is a belief in something greater than us and that it normally takes the form of a Christian prayer. He notes that he and F3 will respect silence before leading the group in the Lord’s Prayer.Remarks: I really appreciated the effort and support displayed this morning. It was an honor to lead.
