Taking Requests at Centurion

Taking Requests at Centurion

Champagne sent YHC the following message: “If you are taking requests a good old AMRAP would be nice.”  He loves him a good AMRAP.  Not really YHC’s style, but hey, why not.  16 Pax joined the QIC for another Friday Centurion.  Disclaimer given.  Off we go.

YHC asked Rock Thrill to provide some details on the Joe Davis Run for Recovery.  He informed the group that the race is 01/06/2018 in Fort Mill.  Benefiting Keystone Substance Abuse Services.  This is year 6 of this race.  Registration prices go up after Halloween.  Last year, over 200 registrants were F3/FIA or affiliated with either.

I have to say that the Infinity AMRAP was a tough set with all the stairs.  You are welcome Champagne.

Purple Haze is in such fine shape that he repeatedly called out the QIC asking for more difficult workout suggestions.  At one point, he noted that this was his warmup and he would need to figure out another workout for later.  #beast

Lorax ate meats at Chima last night.  He smelled like a mix of pork and beef.  Can’t say it was a bad smell either.  The protein served him well this morning.  He was out front.  Brilleaux was right there with him.  Snuka was crushing it as well #respect.  Tagalong plowed through the Redemption loop with a #3 finish behind the aforementioned Pax.  The crew pushed hard today.  Well done men.

POTUS declared the opioid epidemic a public health emergency yesterday.  142 people die each day in this country from opioid related overdoses.  Rock Thrill’s brother, Joe Davis, died of an accidental overdose after 2 years of sobriety.  The Joe Davis Run for Recovery has raised over $125K for Keystone Substance Abuse Services.  That $125K, from my perspective, equates to hope.  Hope for those who need help with addiction treatment.  When hope is lost, there is not much left.  My brother lost hope, and he died by suicide six years ago.  Please consider running or supporting this race in some capacity.  While it is now a public health emergency, the local efforts will still far outweigh anything the federal government will do.  The federal emergency fund currently sits at $57K.  That doesn’t go very far.  Make a difference right here, where we live.  Community leadership opportunity.  Great to have Rock Thrill back at Centurion.

Gotta run and get ready for F3 Golf.  Thanks men, for showing up today.  Great work.  Be there for someone today.  Ask for help if you need it.
