Crusade: Lexington’s Newest AO

12 Pax post despite the high winds and cold temperatures to get better… and probably to hear the name of Lexington’s newest AO, and to learn the identity of the AOQ. The AO’s Name: Crusade.  The AOQ: Meatball.

 

Conditions: 28 deg, wind chill of 20.

 

The Thang: Depart the parking lot into the wind toward the dam.  The plan is to run 20-22.5 minutes and return to the starting point.

 

Moleskin:

  • This AO will be called “Crusade”. Located at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, the name Pilgrimage was a natural fit. However, a Crusade is a Pilgrimage with a larger purpose, a mission beyond oneself, representative of “I am 3rd”.
  • TClaps to Meatball stepping up as Crusade’s AOQ.  Evidence of the F3 Mission Statement at work.  Leaders Lead.
  • Running into the wind sounded like a jet engine, and was extremely cold.  After making the turn, it was amazing how quiet it got, and how much warmer it got.  It was an easy day for negative splits with the wind at our back for the return trip.
  • Always enjoy seeing the 2ndF and 3rdF in action.  It always results in pax getting better.

Announcements:

  • Wander (Ruck): Irmo side of the dam Sunday mornings at 530 am (Watch Twitter for changes in starting point)
