Leading up to YHCs Q of Ultimate, a request came in from Abacus to allow for a soccer game to be played in the extra field.  The hope was to gain enough interest to have the soccer game fully populated while also easing the size of the Ultimate game.  Unfortunately, we didn’t get enough interest for the soccer game and 2 games of Ultimate took shape.  Kudos to Abacus for attempting to create some “game” diversity to perhaps draw a different group of enthusiasts and keep things interesting.

Warm Up: 

  • good mornings, willie mays haze, franks

The Workout:

  • 2 Games of Ultimate, 4 teams.
  • Variables for Gameplay
    • Game Start involved each team lining up at their endzone line with a sprint to the middle where the disc was set.  The first team to get the disc got to start their move to the opposing endzone.
    • On Score, there was no “kick-off”, instead the disc was immediately turned over to the opposing team to start their advance to the other side.
    • No Workouts on drops or scores were included
Mary: None

FNGs: Gatorade and Hotwheels

Announcements:

  • Sombrero getting close on a service day from the Town of Holly Springs
  • Look out for an opportunity to volunteer for HollyFest.
    • Setup, F3 Tent Time, Tear Down, Town Support

Prayer:

  • No OYO – In F3 Speak that means Not On Your Own.  We are part of a community here and we should act as a shoulder to hold up the guy next to us.  If you need help, ask for it.  If you see someone in need, dont wait to be asked.  The cause for sudden loss of Hayden Panettiere (36) has yet to be determined but the news reports on her history with depression, alcholism, and domestic violence.
  • 2.0s return to school and some off to college.  Keep them safe and provide them with the strength required to get back into the swing of school.

Warm Up: EC for all

The Workout: took a lap of holly springs with all the hills.

wild turkey ran to the Qs house, then we ran from my house to womble, picked up fumunga from the bathroom following his EC and off we went. 

route took us to cayman ave, a cut through to crossway, the almost all the way down crossway, with a brief detour on cliff creek. Stopped at TomTom’s house for some monkey humpers, same for Mr. Terrific. Crossed the street for some pickle pounder merkins at Wild Turkey’s house. That was the end of the ride for him, so fumunga and I carried on without our fearless site Q leader. 

trip back to womble for COT. I needed to run home, and Fumunga needed more miles, so back down Stinson to my house. Door to door company for the Q today, what a treat. 

Mary: Announcements: murph tomorrow at Herbert Akins

STANDARDS for AO’s (Even UFO)

/in /by

FNG: Doogie!  Welcome

Warm-up: 5:15am sharp (SSH, Good Mornings, WMH, SFAC)

About the time we were doing GM’s and WMH…over 10 PAX were walking into the Warm-up circle.  YHC noticed a lack of urgency for being late.  We continued with the Mission Statement (3 burpee penalty) Tried again with the Mission Statement (3 burpee penalty). Core values 100% (no penalty) About this time based on the honor system of those that walked up late we did a raise of hands and counted by 5 per person late. Late to ME Burpee penalty administered by Q = 55.  Total Burpee Penalty for Standard infraction = 61. (Could be a horrible F3 record to keep)

Hence the PAX were warmed up for a 4 team split.  3 Merkins on the drop and 2 squats on the drop.  2 point scored if inside the goalie box. Lots of great catches, throws, hustle and knockdowns across the board!

Announcements: Q’em all challenge (QAC), Ruck sack for sale to raise money for QAC, Memorial Day Murph (Banana Seat), If your late to an AO…don’t walk.

T-Clapps:

Prayer: Family lost son in car accident (Breach) and strangers need prayer as all humans are dealing with fear and loss.

The Q Makes The Rules

/in /by

32 PAX took the field and immediately felt the difference—this wasn’t standard Ultimate, it was controlled chaos with purpose. With three scoring zones per team, the game forced constant decision-making: grind for the safe 1-point end zone, thread a tight throw into the 2-point bonus box, or take a high-risk shot at the 3-point corner. Early on, teams played conservative, but as momentum shifted, players started stretching the field, launching deep shots and cutting aggressively to the corners.

Communication became everything—sidelines were loud, calling out zone opportunities and defensive switches as handlers scanned for mismatches. By the midpoint, legs were heavy but intensity stayed high, with several clutch 3-point conversions swinging the score dramatically. What stood out most was the adaptability—guys adjusted on the fly, spacing improved, and trust in throws grew as the game went on. In the end, it wasn’t just about athleticism; it was about awareness, timing, and taking calculated risks under pressure, and every player walked off knowing they’d been part of something fast, competitive, and a step above the usual pickup run.

The game was a close one but the score keeping team prevailed. 

Game Night

/in /by

FNGs: none

Warm Up: Lapped the soccer field with stops at the corners: SSH and good mornings, squats and worlds greatest stretch, merkins, step-ups and preachers chair

The Workout:

Thang 1:

4 minute blocks, each pax works at their own pace on a descending ladder until time is called.

Round 1) 30-20-10-5 merkins, with a sprint to the end after completing each set

Round 2) 30-25-20-15-10-5 SSH with a bear crawl after each set

Round 3) 30-25-20-15-10-5 Freddie mercuries with 10 Star jumps

Round 4) by request from Ka-chow, 12-10-8-6-4-2 burpees with a karaoke break

Thang 2: pax gathered in a plank circle to draw uno cards in a rotating fashion. Draw-er of the card had to complete the number of merkins that corresponded with the number drawn while everyone else held a plank.
Skips and reverse as expected, draw two doubled the number of merkins for your next card, wild was 20 merkins.

Goal to be the last man standing, knees touch the ground and you’re out.

Blue crush put us all to shame by ending the game with 40 merkins following a draw two+wild combo card draw.

Thang 3: dodgeball on the tennis court with a 5 burpee buy-in

Mary: pickle pounders, box cutters, homer to Marge

Prayer: families, kids

Downtown Train to visit Dora

FNGs: none

Warm Up: some mosey, stretching, SSH, merkins

The Workout: jogged to the library for warm-o-rama. Easily knocked out the mission statement and five core principles, then ran past a tree with such a sense of purpose that it got scared and just fell over.

Rotator exercises- jog across the back lot, pick a coupon of adequate size, 10 thrusters, 10 curls for the girls, 10 lunges

Dora was almost done, but time was running out, so we moved on to thang 2 after the first group finished the Dora (@bestinshow and @batboy)

Thang 2: 

Group hill suicides. Group one runs to a designated mailbox and back on library hill, group two holds an exercise until the 6 is in.

3 rounds:

Round 1- second mailbox, plank hold
