Bikinis and Body Building

Expecting the arctic over at Croatan HS knowing there was always wind at that AO, I was pleasantly surprised to find what was a pretty warm 42 degrees without any wind.  I pulled up around 5:20 wondering if Griswold (the only HC) would be the only one to show.  I was pleasantly surprised to see Princess’ truck already there.  We got out of our warm trucks at 5:26 – to find that it wasn’t nearly as cold as we thought it would be.  About 2 minutes later, Kiwi and Griswold showed up to complete the PAX for today.  No need for a countdown – no one would have noticed with Griswold and Princess having an interesting conversation about bikinis and body building…  Apparently, Griswold knows a lot about bikini contests, the requirements to enter, and how you judge them.  I missed the part about how he knew this, but was amazed at his vast knowledge.  I’m thankful Kiwi was there to keep count.  I would’ve been lost without him.

Then we did 9 of each, 8, etc. down to 1.  This put us just in time to mosey back to the flag for about 4 minutes of Mary, PAX choice.  I gave them the option to run ahead if they had more in them.  Griswold gladly obliged.  He ran on up ahead and then circled back.  The rest of the PAX was probably just being nice to the Q who has been DR for a little over a week.

YHC took us out in prayer in a ball of man.  It’s always a pleasure to lead this group of men.  I must say, I was close to backing out knowing this would be a tough return after a busy month of December.  But having your name on the Q sheet is a great way to push yourself to show up.  As we approach the new year, I hope all of you will take this chance to step up and Q.  How blessed we are to have this group who keeps pushing all of us to get better.  F3 isn’t possible without the leadership of each man.  Thank you!
