Crazy Time Keeps Rolling

PAX: , , ,

Pax of 4 gathered under the moonlight for Crazy Time. WebEx dropped by on his way to getting some miles – he got in 8 before the workout!

No announcements and we all did our thing – great work men!

Ultimate Beatdown at Thunder

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

15 Pax gathered in mostly reasonable temperatures for another of the ever popular Ultimate frisbee workouts. Two FNGs were present so disclaimers were read and we mosey’d to the turf fields where YHC had already setup a playing field.

Warm up:

10x SSH IC

10x Daisy Picker IC

20x Diamond Merkin – YHC said these would be the last of the merkins for the day, but he was wrong.

 

The thing:

We divided into teams – red/black shirts vs the skittles (all other colors). The dropped disc penalty was established as 1 Turkish Getup, with the scoring team calling a workout to be done x10 (either reps or IC). Scoring exercises were all over the place but there were multiple rounds of burpees, merkins, jump squats and star jumps.

 

40 minutes of play blew by and we wrapped up with some quick left over right/right over left hamstring stretches. Deadbolt even joined us as a surprise guest at CoT.

 

Announcements:

4th of July Convergence

No Thunder on 4th of July

Prayer requests:

Skidmark on the job hunt

 

Tons of fun men, as always appreciate the honor of letting me lead.
