SATURDAY EVENING SERVICE

 

Troy Soares

FCA Endurance Iron Prayer

Troy Soares was MC and welcomed the group

 

Eric Van Patten

Pastor

Elevation Church

Spoke on the "empty soul", the "dry soul" and the "thirsty soul". It seemed like people related very well to that and it was convicting for some of us. As triathletes, it's easy to become a dry soul when all our actions are put into many hours of training and planning rather than an effort to live for Jesus Christ.

 

 

Jeff Landauer

2006 Ultraman World Champion

The "Landshark"

Jeff gave his testimony. People were impacted by that. It was full of reality (that fact that we're all messed up just like the many people in the Bible who are not perfect people!) and hope (that God can use us in huge ways we think we're incapable of). We were honored to have a world champion that is as humble and friendly as you are, and that makes for some great connections with those who get to hear you speak.

 

Follow-Up on Racers:

Perry and Rachel completed the World's Toughest triathlon, with smiles, and almost together as Rachel remained slightly ahead of her husband most of the race. There were big cheers from the spectators when they both finished.

 

Kent ended up getting 2nd in his 60+ age group although I still don't see how he's 60+. He was happy with his race and headed back to San Diego with his son, Ariel.

 

Tana had a great race and enjoyed the whole day.

 

Nate also did well and was impressed with how the hills here compared with those in Boulder.

 

Lance, Robin and Troy did parts of the race in the relay divisions but were fully exhausted nonetheless.

 

Carrie did the World's Toughest Duathlon.

 

Steve won his division in the Olympic Distance Triathlon.

Steve Caminiti, thanks for leading worship and choosing songs that glorified how awesome our God is. You sounded great! Thanks for closing up at the end in prayer. I was wanting you to continue but we had run over in time already.
