During one of the throwback week beatdowns Sir Dawg and YHC came to the realization that the first Dads workout of 2020 was to fall on the coming Saturday.  No pre-blast had been sent and no notion of a Q had been seen.  The 2.0s must be represented we thought!  So we made a pact to ensure that the event would take place as planned.  A little chatter on the slack channel and we HC’d but YHC had not put a ton of thought into what we would do.  Luckily Dawg had an idea and 16-bit also had some thoughts on what to do and he joined our merry band.  YHC decided to let it roll and simply made sure the pre-blasts were in place to make sure the 2.os weren’t lost in the wake of the Throwback week.

FNGs: Welcome Mater!, son of Fanny Pack

Warm Up:  We mozy’d on over to the shelter and out of the rain.  Dawg ran us through some warm-ups.

• SSH
• Good Mornings
• Merkins
• Backstrokes

The Workout:

Thang 1

DawgPound had devised a game.  Cones were layed out in a pattern distanced at a 2.0 sized bunny hop in a zigzag fashion.  Dads counted off.  Half the dads and their 2.0s lined up at one side of the zigzag, the other half of the group and their 2.0s at the other.  One at a time, a PAX from each end of the zigzag hopped down the pattern towards each other.  When they met, a round of rock-paper-scissors commenced.  The victor continued to move down the zigzag until meeting another PAX.  The loser would get down on the ground for 5 merkins.  Repeato until the crowd grew tired.  (this kept going and going, the 2.0s really seemed to enjoy the game)

Thang 2

Dads and 2.0 teamed up for relay rounds by 16-bit.

• Round 1 – Dads\Balls to the Wall, 2.0s bear crawl to the opposite side of the shelter and back
• Round 2 – 2.0 Wheelbarrows, Dads bear crawl return with 2.os on their backs
• Round 3 – 2.0 BullFrogs, Dads duck walk back with 2.os on their backs

Thang 3

YHC hosted some random-o-rama moves contributed in a popcorn fashion from PAX in attendance

• Squats with 2.0s on the shoulders
• Curls with the Girls (really 2.0s girls or boys)
• 2.0 swings (passing 2.0s through legs and then upward in the air)
• Squats with 2.0s on backs
• 2.0 Carry Mozy down path towards former Ivan lot
• 2.0 Carry Indian Runs turn around at Ivan
• 2.0 Mozy return to the shelter

Mary: Picking up the 6.  The 2.0s turned around and we all went back for the 6.  We talked about what it meant to pick up the 6 and how everyone can apply it at the next 2.0 workout or really in anything they do.  Always look for an opportunity to support someone that is behind you and help get them to where you are.  Leave no man behind, leave no man where you found them.

T-Claps (Recognition):  Mater – this FNG stepped up and took us out in the prayer today.  He was locked in on the entire workout and has shown from the start that he is an F3 HIM.  Despite being named for trashing the quality of his Dad’s car.  The car that takes him cool places and gets him around town everyday :-P.  Great work today Mater!

Thunder Sprinkles – Great work being the accountability partner your Dad needed to get to the workout.  He wanted to go straight to Dunkin’ and you said “No way!  I need to get my workout on!”  Most 2.0s would have gone right for the Donuts

Prayer:  Service men and women.
