20 Men Showed Up for an Ultimate Show Down
FNGs: Sonny, now F3 Flicker, named for his awesome left-handed forehand throw, which is also known as a flick. Member of the RESPECT club at 57? Brought his own cooler, discs, and work clothes. :). Other new F3 faces to SouthWake: Sketch, MIA, Doogie
Warm Up: 25 SSH while Dauber ran and got the “pennies,” GMs x 10. Many had arrived in time to throw a few. I knew everybody was ready to play, so we got started. Disclaimer to our FNG Sonny. A few quick rules/procedures. If there’s a turnover in the end zone, you can walk it up to the goal line. Also, when “kicking off,” move up so that your clears mid-field.
The Workout: Ultimate for 35 minutes with exercises on the turnovers: SSHs, jump squats, squats, merkins. Plus, exercises upon scoring: burpees, WWIIs, merkins, and more. Final 10 minutes with no exercises except after scoring. We never really keep an official score, but it helps gauge the match. This morning, the “pennies” jumped on the scoreboard with two or three unanswered trips to the end zone. The “skins” finally settled down, shortened our throws, and got on the scoreboard. Again, unofficially, we had several ties and lead changes. Looks like my completely random passout of the pennies led to equal teams! This was fun!
Tons of great plays out there by all. Too many to remember. Lots of “jump balls” for high throws just about anywhere. Quiver tracked down a floater that looked like it was way beyond his reach. Banana Seat made some great catches but claims he can’t throw. Sonny posted in the middle and was the field marshal for the skins. He could pretty much place the disc anywhere he wanted, with a razor sharp forehand. Blue Hen and Fram knocked down multiple discs on defense. I could not shake Bobby Dall and Warbucks, who stuck to me like white on rice. Dauber had and excellent throw right down the middle to the end zone for the score. Shredder worked the edges and Mr. T worked the middle. And of course, Cupid and Roaming Gnome worked the end zone for their respective teams. Maybelline always lurking on defense, ready to knock one down. Kubota making solid throws in the middle. Great to have Sketch, MIA, Doogie join us–solid players who will join us the first Monday in 2022. Again, many good plays. Maybe we should get the TOHS footage! Meant to get a group photo, but many posted for second F at Panera, so I got one there.
Mary: No time for Mary, this was all game time.
Announcements: CSAUP The Judge this Saturday, December 11, 2021, starting at Fleming Loop Park. Also, Shop With A Cop is live on Slack. Make a donation. Kids within the local community in need will be paired with officers from the Holly Springs Police Department to go shopping for holiday presents for their families and themselves.
T-Claps (Recognition): Thanks to Dauber for sharing the Q. Especially after his pre- pre- pre-blast. I know he was feeling it, ready to play!
Prayers: Unspoken. Fram gathered in the spirit and took us out with a nice prayer.
FNGs: N/a today, this might have broken any new PAX
Warm Up: All Pax circled up for a count off and pretty standard warmup including side straddle hops, arm circles forward and reverse, seal claps, overhead claps, good mornings, imperial walkers, and hillbillies. All Pax then grabbed a rucksack or other nearby coupon plus some shovel flags for a couple of dark brutal miles on the back 9 complete with some of the steepest hills in Fuquay.
The Workout: Pax returned their coupons and circled up to count off again, this time going from 1-3 to create teams. Instructions were given as well as exercise and rep count demos for each of the 5 upcoming stations(sites). Each group starts at a station and has 15 minutes to complete AMRAP as a team. Then the group much carry an Olympic bar with two 45lb plates down the blue trail and back to the next station. Rinse and repeat until all 5 sites are complete.

Mary: Divide into teams again for Tug of War and final solo event The Humperdink (golf cart pull using a Harness. Started with one pax then added another in the cart about every 10 ft until the Pax pulling gives out.)
T-Claps: Thanks again to everyone making the Brute Squad CSAUP a reality! 16 Brutes showed up and cranked out over a 2 mile ruck, insane hills, thousands of HEAVY reps, 4 miles carrying 45lb plates and Olympic bars, went to war with the battle rope, and took on the Humperdink. Thanks to the Brute Squad committee who helped turn a bunch of crazy ideas into an actual plan with even more crazy ideas and a heck of a shirt to go along with it!
Prayer: Breach took us out
18 PAX joined in for some wet frisbee Ultimate!
FNGs: 2 thanks to Yogurt for bring them out @DingSing @GatorPit
Announcements: If you can, volunteer for the upcoming Holly Spring Half
Prayers: Those struggling with COVID, Cancer
FNGs: None – but visitor from Raleigh, Pig Pen – thanks for coming out.
Warm Up: Lipsync started us off with some SSH and stretching. YHC added windmills, sir Fazios, seal claps and overhead claps. Grabbed all the weights and headed for the tennis courts
The Workout: YHC instructed PAX to line up all the weights from heaviest to lightest. Each PAX grabbed a coupon (e.g. Kettlebell or two dumbbells) and they decided the exercise. The time keeper began with YHC executing Bear crawl to the end of the tennis court and backwards jog back to the starting line. After YHC completed the mosey, each PAX rotated one station just before informing the in-coming PAX the exercise. PAX were very creative coming up exercises. 40 lb dumbbells – Farmers Cary; 30 lb dumbbells- bench press from our six; 25 lb dumbbells lawn mowers; 25 lb kbell swings; 20 lb db hammer curls, 25 lb kettlebells thrusters; diamond merkins. RINSE & REPEAT New exercises were incorporated at each station included shrugs, curls, tricep, O/H press, figure 8…Carolina dry dock and the time keeper drill was crab walk to the end of the court, jog back.
Mary: 20 mins of much-needed YOGA
Announcements: Support HSPD-Bacon with Goggins challenge, Special Olympic fundraiser; See slack & Fb for additional announcements including JDRF, Blood drives, volunteer opportunities…
T-Claps (Recognition): Pig Pen for leading VC and hanging out for Thunder
Prayer: YHC talked about his original plan of simply carrying all of the weight (dumbbells & kettlebells) around Womble and not doing any formal exercises. I had read about this in a past AO. Too many of us are carrying baggage. We need to get rid of that baggage or simply ask for help carrying the load. Prayers for Injured PAX and their family; motorcyclists – watch out for them; unspoken.
Thanks for helping me take out and load up all the gear.
Honored to lead. -Dauber
