2. Disc Throw – 1 attempt to through the light up disc as far as you can. Winner Cupid
3. Long Jump – School actually has this. 2 attempts. 8-Bit
4. Potato Sack race – two heats, top 2 from each race final. Winner Fram by a hair!
5. 3 Legged Race – down 25 yds turn around and back to start. Winner Fram & Cupid. Lots of rubbing going on at the finish line. See video.
6. 50 YD Bear Crawl – Winner Fram (wasn’t even close)

YHC took the helm at Sheepdog this morning with a carefully planned beatdown to target all areas and encourage PAX to push eachother. New amenities, the track and the bleachers, were used, and no PAX were left behind. In addition, a few stayed for an extra few minutes to finish the prescribed routine. All good things F3 this morning!

FNG’s: None
Warm Up: A quick mosey to the basketball court (also new) for Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, and Frankenstein’s (all x10 IC).
The Workout: PAX paired up to push eachother and pairs were instructed to wait until each PAX in their group moved on to the next phase of exercises. Again…nobody left behind! 10 Rounds total of exercises. Each round began with 5 burpees and ended in alternating fashion with either a 400m run or a 5x up/down the bleachers.

The rounds were as follows:

10 Absolutions

The Workout: We took a tour de Arbor Creek in a very suspect-looking Cat in the Hat pattern, my GPS must have gotten off as I had to course correct a few times, but we made it back to ting as a group in just over 45 mins and we all did just about 5 miles.

Announcements: Take a look at the post that Dumbo put out on Slack, we are here to help and accerlerate each other, we may not always agree with each other, but respect needs to stand. We should encourage those around us, not put them down.

Closed in Prayer:

Once back, we did an 80 count of Preacher’s Chair and an 80 count of BTTW.

Bakers Dozen for June Ultimate at Ting

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

5 June challengers did some EC to get max points to start the week of right (Cupid, LED, Sunshine, Fram and Breach)

A Baker’s dozen of running crazed warriors took the filed at Ting for the June challenge version of Ultimate

Cupid, LED, Fram, Wham-O, Roaming Knome, Gillette, Gump, Sunshine, UTI, Kubota, Yogurt, Cornholio, and Breach on the Q

Warm Up: 22 Counts of Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins and some Good mornings to stretch those hamstrings.

Mary: Learned a little more about Gump and found that his name has nothing to do with running

Announcements: 3 Alarm is doing better, we are going to take this week off but @Yogurt requested that we come back in force next week to bring his spirits up.

Prayer: Pray for us, a lot of shootings out there, we need to heal together as a country. Talk to your kids about an active shooter. They need to know what it is so they can be aware of the situation if it ever arises.

Boulder work

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

FNGs: none
Warm Up: usual warm o rama with some surprise merkins
The Workout: Circle to with your rock and played survivor with a set of 5 exercises, 15 reps each, and a rotation sheet each exercise. Ruh rohs, curls, triceps extension, skull crushers, overhead press. The least favorite exercise (not PAX, that’s just hurtful) got voted off each round. Didn’t help that Fram choose a boulder.

Over to the dugout for some bar hangs. 6 saw who could hang the longest while the other 6 “cheered” them on doing amrap squats.

Mary: Popcorn Mary with some upper body stretches.
Announcements: June challenge, lipstick meal train, run the Quay
T-Claps (Recognition): 7 for EC. Great showing!

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

13 PAX showed at R4TJ for a changed up event. First day of June challenge is off to a great start.

Divide into two teams
Run a 0.9 route/lap inside Ting
Once 5 laps are completed, you run only the square route.

The flag will be at the top of the ramp with a roll of TP on it. Each time you pass you pull one sheet and add it to your teams pile. The team with the most sheets at the end of 50 mins wins. Timer will be set at the flag.

We ended up with 45 vs 40 sheets of TP. Nice work gents and great push.

BS out!
