The Gladiator vs. The Vern

Event Date

Mar 10, 2020


As Britney Spears said, "Opps I did it again." Apparently I have such a love for St.Marks and the Gladiator, I posted myself as the Q (last week) when traditionaly the 2nd Tuesday of every month is reserved as a convergence for the Vern. I am sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

Blackbeard, thank you for keeping me company.

As an OG who just recently moved to the West Side side of 77 / Huntersville converging for the Vern is not something I am used to doing. Being on IR, I have been looking for workouts I can Q so that I can limit my running and so that other Q's do not feel compelled to change up their workouts due to my limitations. But for the record I am fine with modifying i.e. doing flutter kicks instead of running.

To keep my King accelerating, I look at the @F3LKN website on a daily basis to decide where I'm going to post. And on a weekly basis I sign-up to Q once or twice wherever I see an opening. Hence, "I did it again," because I signed up to Q Gladiator not realizing that it was the 2nd Tuesday of the month; I was "Vern'ed" once again by a convergence. But not all was lost. Blackbeard joined me for a heart raising workout and some great discussion (2ndF). Thanks again Blackbeard.

So what do we do moving forward. I have texted back and forth with Travolta and spoken with Blackbeard. We are going to have a MQ changing of the guard at Gladiator.

With the blessing of the PAX, I will take over as the MQ of Gladiator as soon as Travolta is ready to pass the reigns. But don't be alarmed, the Gladiator will still converge for the Vern every 2nd Tuesday of the month but there will also be a regular "No Run" workout available as well. This way, both types of workouts can be satisfied.

I am ready to get after it. Thank you for the opportunity.
