The Workout: Paint a garage(food shelter), fill pot holes in driveway. As the pax arrived we started handing out rollers and paint trays. A few pax started by sanding and wiping cob webs from the building while the 2.0s began painting in an organized fashion. Ha. Once we got rolling everything became red. The building, kids, faces, my ride. Once the backhoe showed up with gravel, we lost a lot of 2.0s to spreading rocks but we pushed through. We got 2 coats of paint on and filled the pot holes. The Girl Scout cookies were opened thanks to Tetanus, and the kids devoured them. We finished painting around 11:15 cleaned up and went to chick fil a for 2ndf. It was great to see everyone out there and the 2.0s getting some work in. Thanks everyone for making this successful.

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.
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.
Thang 3
YHC hosted some random-o-rama moves contributed in a popcorn fashion from PAX in attendance
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.
Announcements:
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.
We had some lines cross as we geared up for the Dads workout. ShamWow! was volunteered following the last one but it was never documented on the Q-Sheet. Warbucks jumped on it the night before since it was blank on the Q-sheet and I volunteered to assist since I wasn’t planning on running U-Turn. We all had a quick chat the night before once the crossed lines were understood and we all took a piece to “Q”. Good times were had by all and the weather was glorious. Read below 🙂
FNGs: 0
Warm Up: Good Mornings, Bear Crawls, Wheel Barrows, Random Ball Chasing, SSH
The Workout:
Thang 1 – ShamWow! Says – The only time that anyone listens to what ShamWow! says… YHC got out first, point made (I never listen to ShamWow!)
Thang 2 – Zombie Dodgeball – Started with YHC. He hit people with the ball until they were all hitting the other people with the ball. We lost track of who was a Zombie and who wasnt until it was just chaos. But fun chaos anyway.
Thang 3 – Dads vs Kids Dodgeball – At the core Dads were on one side of the tennis courts and the kids were on the other. Get hit, sit on the fence and watch until all Dads or all kids are cleared from the game. We played 3-4 variations of this where Dads were one-handed, Dads could only catch, and just normal Dodgeball. It was fun, everyone won.
Thang 4 – Freeze Tag – Dads vs kids, get tagged and stop in your tracks with your legs shoulder-width apart. If someone from your team passed under your legs you were unfrozen and back in the game. We played this more than a few times. Swish was a monster in this game, juking all over the place.
Mary: Animal Crawls – Animals were called, we crawled like that animal from one side of the courts to the other.
Announcements: 2nd F at Dunkin’
T-Claps (Recognition): Swish – Nice jukes.
Prayer: The defending South Wake Beer Mile Champions. The kids were all very worried about you… Heard that Pikachu, Skidmark, Lipstick, and UTI were running against you this year :-O
FNGs: Welcome FNGs!
Warm Up: YHC asked the 2.0s how they wanted to warm up. The first thing called out was LBCs but we got a quick veto from some of the Dads based on the wet conditions. We went around the circle and tackled some Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, Burpees, and whatever else was called out.
The Workout: Modified kickball!!! Lipstick helped to get the teams split up with Dads and their 2.0s together on each team splitting our 28 PAX to something of an even number. Our new FNG (to be named Shortcut) opted to play against his dad (Katniss) and sister (Unicorn) however.
What was modified about the kickball you ask? The ball was about 4x the size of your regular kickball. The Dads owed 3 burpees per run scored on the opposing team (soon modified down to 1 burpee per score). Also, Dads on the field had to complete 3 merkins per fair kick before fielding the ball to make sure there was some time to allow our 2.0s a fair shot at the base – if the ball was airborne, Dads could attempt to catch the ball without merkins. We also found it useful to let a Dad or older 2.0 kick when the bases were loaded to clear the bases.
Luckily, the rain held off during the workout and the soccer turf was empty so we didn’t have to play on soggy ground. 45 mins proved to be the exact right amount of time to keep the Dads and the kids attention for our game today. Donuts were already implanted in the minds of many.
Mary: Kids ran the bases just like at the end of the Durham Bulls games. We upped the rounds to 2x – cause why not try and empty the tank on these kids.
Announcements: YHC forgot to run through these – sorry PAX
T-Claps (Recognition): Great job Dads! Thanks for coming out and spending time with the collective 2.0s I know it makes a difference for us and for them.
Prayer: Prayers for 16-bit and his family. He was set to lead the Dads workout today but a death in the family changed his plans. He later posted to Slack that he and his kids had done their own workout prompted by the 2.0s – Great work 16-bit, Zookeeper, Linedrive, Catgirl, and FNG!!!
