Fuquay Frisbee Challenge

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

We had a 11 PAX for an unsuspecting game of Ultimate Frisbee. It was time for Fuquay to host a game on another very humid morning.

Warm Up: We were excited to get to the field so we did some quick warm-up stretches prior to the workout starting.

The Workout:  We divided teams into gray shirts (5) and other shirts (6). Each time the frisbee was dropped we did 3 Merkins the first half and 4 Squats during the 2nd half. The team that scored chose the exercise (10 for the non-scoring team and 5 for the scoring team). The exercises were picked by the scorer: Merkins, Leg raises, SSH, Star jumps, LBCs, WWII. For the Merkin challenge we officially count 105. There were some great plays out there for several that have never played before!

Mary: We gathered for less than 6 minutes of Mary with around the horn of stretching and abs only.

Announcements: July 4th Convergence, A Yoga AO starting up mid July

Prayer: Beater lifted up a friend that suddenly passed at the age of 42, prayers for Draper, DoubleD, and CrabLegs
