I believe the children are our are future… 1st 2.0 Workout of 2020
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.
Kickoff to Football Season
Swish and I had hoped to utilize the soccer facilities but there was already a lot of action there by 9 am so we opted to move to the open field south of the creek that is adjacent to the playground. With only a few minutes until 9, Shimmer asked if anyone is coming and shortly after I hear Swish say “There is Pikachu!” Soon we see Pikachu emerge (no yellow suit today) with shovel flag in hand, and a little ways behind him is 16-bit and Shamwow! with their 2.0’s. Looks like we have enough for a game! We throw the football for a little bit, 9:00 hits and off we go for a short mosey toward the softball fields, through the overflow parking area, across the bridge by the playground, and back to where we started by the tennis courts. We circle up and squat hold for the 6 back at the flag and then move into warm up exercises…
FNGs: Not this morning.
Warm Up: Swish and I decided on a 14 count for each of the following: SSH, Squats, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Daisy Pickers, and Goof Balls. All exercises in cadence. Swish and I alternated leading the exercises and there was some mumblechatter of how Swish had his cadence on point. Shamwow! asked if we had practiced the night before, I said we went over cadence but are winging the exercises.
Now that we were all warmed up, YHC and Swish instructed PAX to mosey over to our designated field for some drills. Pikachu grabbed the shovel flag, I grabbed the cones and jerseys and we mosey over to the field. We reach the field and I realize I had forgot to bring the flags. I ask Swish to mosey back to grab them as I get the cones set up for the first exercise.
1st Drill- Agility and Speed
We split the PAX into 2 somewhat even teams and each member ran the drill in the image below. After the team member ran through all of the cones, they would tag the next person in line and they would rinse and repeat. The first team with all members through the cones won and the losing team had to do 5 burpees OYO. After a very close race, the winning team decided to join the losing team with the 5 burpess OYO. Completed 2 rounds before moving to the next exercise.
2nd Drill- Human Domino
Split the PAX into two groups as YHC and Swish set up cones to mark the distance of the exercise. Groups of 2 from each line would go against each other to see who could get to the end and run back to the line to tag the next group of two. The first person would lay on the ground on their stomach, the second person would hop over them and then lay on their stomach, rinse and repeat until reaching the next set of cones, jump up and run back to the line and tag the next group of 2. The first team with everyone finished won, the losers had to do 5 burpees OYO. Again, the winning team joined the losing team for the 5 burpees OYO.
Scrimmage!
A very competitive game that started off with some confusion on which team Shimmer was on. She had red flags on but was over with the yellow team. Pikachu tells her that it looks like there is an issue with the teams and she says looks like we have an issue with a beard! Shots fired! We all laughed and the game began. The score went back and forth with a few goal line stands by way of some stellar defense! Swish had 2 picks and Pikachu had a long run and put the moves on everyone. The game was won by the yellow team by a last minute long run by McNugget!
Mary: Mosey back to the tennis courts for PAX count of 11 and Name-o-Rama. As we are getting close to the flag, Linedrive comes running up to YHC and says “I am running faster than Pikachu” Shots fired again!
Announcements: F3 Family Picnic October 12th. Check Slack and Facebook.
T-Claps (Recognition): All of the 2.0’s for playing a great game and having fun! All PAX for making it to the workout. Shamwow! for rucking his 2.0 Hitchhike for the entire workout!
Prayer: Injured PAX, unspoken
YHC took us out. It was an honor to lead and a great time playing flag football!
