Ultimate Wet Thunder

/in /by

Pax of 5 gathered on a very stormy evening. The rain mostly cleared up in time for our 7am start and we were off – we crossed the street and setup the lower grass field for some 2 v 2 (with a full time offense player) ultimate.

Warm Up:

SSH x15 IC

Good evening x15 IC

Daisy Picker x15 IC

The Workout:

Ultimate frisbee – every time the disc is dropped and/or swatted or thrown out of bounds the pax alternate between 3x merkins and 5x LBCs.

Scoring team chooses an exercise to do 10 of, and then the full time offense player switches.

Questions Answered

/in /by

Pax of 17 came out on a drizzly Monday morning to answer one question – was Pikachu done using his new job as an excuse?

~7 Pax got in EC at 5:15. Wescott grabbed another FNG so disclaimers were read and we were off.

Warm Up:

Run to the top of the ramp:

SSH x20 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Run to corner by tennis courts doing kareoke, backwards run, and butt kickers on the way.

 

The Workout:

Run back to bathroom trailers to get Midget. Stop at the first island – bear crawl to the 2nd island. Crab walk back.

Now that everyone was accounted for the main event could start. Run to the bottom of the ramp for some shortened 21s:

10 Burpees at the bottom

Run to the top

11 LBCs

Repeated down to 6 burpees and 15 pickle pounders since they’re our favorite. Threw in some backwards running, a bear crawl (that got audibled to 2/3 of the way – that’s a long ramp) and some runs all the way down to the stop sign off the entrance road.

Did one more quality burpee at the bottom and then went to the basketball courts for the grand finale.
Mary:

Given the storms the night before it only seemed appropriate to do Thunderstruck – nearly 5 minutes of SSH with some more burpees mixed in.
Announcements:

5 year anniversary convergence – last Wednesday in August

9/11 stair climb – 5:30AM start, will be finished before 7.
Prayer:

Verse of the day – Psalm 102:25-28. “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God”

Crab legs.

Doug at Hope who is recovering from a broken neck.

 

Always a privilege men – thank you for the honor.

And yeah Dog Pound – I’m back.

PS – Welcome FNG Sharapova.
