COT (Uncle Rico)
1. Uncle Rico has posted at 201/240 Blenders since October '12. Accordingly, that's 87.5% of the WODs per Rico. I trust the professor knows how to divide.
2. Rico, you get another line since you were so impressive on the sprints. A man your size should not be this fast. You defy science, logic, and nature.
3. Zuul, Respect at 59. As he rolls in it starts to rain. Who knew Zuul could control the weather. He's already cool. But just got cooler.
4. Springy. Thanks for the support and coming this AM.
5. Firestone. Nice push on every suicide. You pushed me and Beefcake really hard. Thanks for partnering up with me. I really respect your effort on every rep. You were moving today brother.
6. Team Kotter. So, I get a text last night from Dan Siler aka Cheerleader that he wants to hit the Grace Covenant workout on Tuesday. So, I refresh recollection that its the Blender. He says, "See you there at 0520." Being a man of his word, Cheerleader (a fellow wrestler with cauliflower ear) I should add, is dutfully waiting in the parking lot at 0520.
I was so jazzed up about Cheerleader contacting me, that I scrolled through my Contacts to see who also hasn't posted in a while and I found "Yorkie." He HC'd in 2.2 seconds. And the rest is history. The two kotters would go on to team up on the first bell suicide and complete their 200 curls before any other team. Very very solid and welcome back Kotters.
I am encouraged to see Kotters come back to F3 after a hiatus and crush a painstation. T-claps. Your strength has made me stronger. This is God's economy and the backbone of F3 when stories like this happen. It reminds me that God will bless you if you bless others. You don't bless others to get something in return, it just happens.
Solid prayer by Uncle Rico. Very heartfelt and much needed. You set the tone for the rest of my day. Thanks brother.
Scrappy
