WARMUP:

THE THANG:
It was raining so we sheltered at the church entrance. We did a Dora style workout. One partner did flipped back and forth between two exercises doing 10 at a time while the other partner took a lap around the covered areas. We listened to the pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack in anticipation of Escape from Hawaii Ridge.

Do your backblast!

COT:
We contemplated the verse affixed to the statue at the front of the school…

““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Leadership Summit
Hardship Hill

COT:
Hardship Hill is a race that is fun and good for F3, but today I want to remind us all why we actually do it.

Hardship Hill raises money for Operation Enduring Warrior that supports combat disabled veterans. They come to the race from out of state and bring a team. Some of the veterans they serve will share their testimonies that are incredible.

Then, their able bodied team members will run the race in a Pro Mask (gas mask) that severely restricts their airflow and makes the task much harder. They do this to show us the hardships that our veterans deal with even if those wounds are invisible.

If you can’t attend the race, but want to support OEW, you can donate to them here: enduringwarrior.networkforgood.com/projects/114843-main-website-page

COT: Essentially the whole workout was a BOM, but the final note to reflect on is that it is finished, but the story has not ended. Matthew 28:5-6 And the angel sed to the women, “Do not be afraid: for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come [and], see the place where he was lying.”
