I am pretty excited about this new ASP event this year. It will be held at the South Brandywine Middle School Track on May 16, starting at 1PM.
Each participant will have the opportunity to compete in 4 quarter-mile races (that's 1 mile total), with a final run-off of the winners from each heat. There will also be an obstacle race with some simulated exercises such as crawling under the house, walking on rafters, ladder work, and a construction exercise. I'm pretty sure God will give me some other nifty ideas before the day arrives.
Of course, sensitivity is one of the 3 S-'s at ASP, so this event will be as competitive or as non-competitive as each individual makes it. We never force anyone at ASP to do something they are really uncomfortable with. A little uncomfortable, well, then we might help you push yourself.
I'm taking requests for "Olympic competition music" to play during the events, so if you know any great songs to get us moving, please let me know! I wonder if I can get a hot dog vendor, or, at least a gatorade table, maybe some banannas! This is gonna be so much fun! :-)
I'm planning on having chairs available for plenty of spectators to watch so please come on out and cheer on your Olivet ASP Youth Trip Team!
Happy Hiking, and God Bless,

Nice post, brother. Ya know, I went to Wm. Tennent - 1979. guess that makes us rivals. Ha Ha.
ReplyDeleteHey, the mystics spoke about what you are hedging at in your piece. They tell us to let go of the outcomes that are a result of the work we do. That we should do the work with no concern for the fruit it produces. I think they, as well as you, are dead on.
Thanks for the words.

Hey Tom! Thank you so much for your comment! Your comment ended up on the wrong post I think, but it's ok. Tennet ... Bristol suburbs, am I right? Home of the Bristol Stomp? I used to think the Bristol kids were about the meanest tougest guys around. Do you remember the "Steer Inn" at 413 & route 1? Before McDonalds existed it was the place to hang out if you went to Neshaminy. Or was it Council Rock School District. btw, I actually DID go to Council Rock's PROM.
