last year, E.S.O.A.L. went through a hurricane (no kidding, interns were fighting hypothermia)… this year… it started last night (wednesday) instead of the usual thursday night start time. sheesh, is this the first time they’re starting on wednesday night? are we sure its still going on until sunday, or is it going for a week now? you never know… this is dave hasz’s favorite time of the year. 😉
i rang out about an hour before the event ended, talk about a pride shaker right there… you?
p.s. keep our fellow interns in prayer.
i made it to the end
it was harrrrrrrrrd
and i owe all of it to my 3 remaining teammates
especially my friend, miles kirst, because he pulled me out of the mud every time
ahhh, the memories 🙂
hypothermia
mmm…I made it 24 hours…BOTH times that I did it.
(it took me twice to realize that it was okay that I didn’t finish – twice.)
yeah its going till Sunday but I won’t reveal when.
How are you? Coming for Alumni?
this picture is becoming famous. Who had it first? it’s on my site, your site, and Brandon’s. haha.
Yeah, I rang out with my team about an hour or so before.
ESOAL is so much fun.
It’s giong to last 5 days this time. that’s so hardcore intense.
Wish I was there.
2 hours before it ended… such great memories though!
I have been thinking about my friends who are participants. I talked to them last night before they started….they are still doing it. Ug, it brings back memories. It is funny how we are far removed from TM right now and still very aware of what is going on. I think it is really good!
pride goeth before a fall….I wonder how that fits here… rex
remember to pray ALL ways…..
and do I think that you are prideful.. not at all.
that happened to me the first year [ringing out an hour before]. last year it was the hypothermia that got me. it stunk. oh well. prayers are effective for sure. major lesson last year.
hope you’re doing well!
p.s. are you in FL now…I forget (sorry).. and what part of FL is it? [my parents are probably going to move down there semi-soon]
wow
“bring it!”

yep, pride comes before the fall! That’s a fact. I heard God tell me to ring out Saturday, but didn’t. On sunday, that’s when I had the incident of a nail almost completely taking my eye out. Yeahhh….God is gracious. That’s all I gotta say.
by the way, I love that pic. Do you happen to have more ESOAL pics?
ESOAL is going great!!!!
They are all doing a wounderful job we are into phase 2 of ESOAL now…42hrs into it…This is going to be the logest ESOAL ever…it will be over Sun afternoon…

Gainesville…..how far is that from the Ft. Lauderdale area? I doubt I’ll move with them but I’ll be visiting for sure. Perhaps we can meet somewhere when I do come down.
Erik, your good ole pal Justin Trump here had the privilege to finish this ESOAL 2006 you’re talking about. Gloria Dios!
