There was a bit of a Twitter bomb the evening prior to YHC’s return as Q following a long absence leading a workout. YHC checked the F3 website to confirm the start time for Late Night – 5:45 am? Thought Late Night started at 6:00 am. Questioned posed, state of confusion ensues. Extra credit at 5:30 am or 5:45 am. Does Late Night even do EC? Thanks to Wendell Gee for confirming the workout start time is indeed 6:00 am. Costco pilots us to AO with a solid number in attendance for EC. Off we go…

COT
YHC shared that today was both the start of Passover and Good Friday. YHC paraphrased a lesson from last Sunday speaking to the emotional and physical anguish Christ went through leading up to his crucifixion and concluding with his death. Everyone closest to him abandoned him and he carried the guilt, burden, shame, and sin of everyone on the Cross. He didn’t wait for us to “be perfect”, but demonstrated his love for us. We received grace. Prayers for Hush Puppy’s family, Lo Pair and his family as he prepares for the week ahead, Chili Dog in Wilmington, and others facing treatment, illness, and loss. Deuce took us out strong.
In keeping with the theme of State of Confusion, it was noted that we were a man down during Nameorama. Where did Village People go? Shortly after COT and the PAX were heading out, up comes a car and out jumps Village People. He made tracks as we arrived at Lassiter Mill Road thinking we had returned to Anderson Drive. We were a little more than 1.5 miles from our starting point. He either Ubered it or hitched pack thanks to the generosity of a kind stranger. Anyone willing to pick up a sweaty, smelly F3er before 7:00am is a good soul in YHC’s book.
Great work by the PAX and thanks for the opportunity to lead. 3.5 miles logged – 3.75 if EC is included.
