HOT Tea Time

/in /by

5 Pax gathered in 90+ degree humid weather for some hot tea time action. Spam dragged an FNG out (and they biked over to boot) so disclaimers were given and we went out for our first mile.

The Thing (No surprises here…..Murph city)

The pax hammered away at the sets and shirts did not last very long. We wrapped up all of our sets and did a great job getting the six for the remainder of the sets – 2nd mile was ran and we were done inside of 45 minutes. Very impressive considering the temperature.

Announcements

4th of July Convergence – Carpex is also hosting 1776. South Wake 1776 is at Disney AO at 6:30am.

Prayers

Snots in Carpex for a speedy recovery. Crab legs.

FNG Sea Dog took us out.

 

Fuquay Frisbee Challenge

/in /by

We had a 11 PAX for an unsuspecting game of Ultimate Frisbee. It was time for Fuquay to host a game on another very humid morning.

Warm Up: We were excited to get to the field so we did some quick warm-up stretches prior to the workout starting.

The Workout:  We divided teams into gray shirts (5) and other shirts (6). Each time the frisbee was dropped we did 3 Merkins the first half and 4 Squats during the 2nd half. The team that scored chose the exercise (10 for the non-scoring team and 5 for the scoring team). The exercises were picked by the scorer: Merkins, Leg raises, SSH, Star jumps, LBCs, WWII. For the Merkin challenge we officially count 105. There were some great plays out there for several that have never played before!

Mary: We gathered for less than 6 minutes of Mary with around the horn of stretching and abs only.

Announcements: July 4th Convergence, A Yoga AO starting up mid July

Prayer: Beater lifted up a friend that suddenly passed at the age of 42, prayers for Draper, DoubleD, and CrabLegs

Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”

Ultimate beat down at Thunder

/in /by

12 Pax gathered at Thunder for what was promised to be an Ultimate (frisbee) beat down. We moseyed over to the turf fields to mark off a field with some cones and do a few warm up exercises:

10x SSH IC

10x Fazio Arm Circles IC, both directions

The pax were conveniently wearing 6 red shirts and 6 non-red shirts, so no skins were needed. Teams were made and we were off.

Rules were simple, any time the disc hit the ground (after kickoff) all Pax had to perform 3 Merkins before they could do anything else. When a team scored the scoring team/Pax called out an exercise for 10 reps, following which the team that was scored on walked to the other side and play resumed with a “kick” off. After a close game (red won 6-5) we wrapped up with some Mary:

Low slow flutter x10 IC

Standard Merkin (on my down and my up) x7 to get us to our 167 target for the day.

Announcements – Day in the park, July 4th convergence.

Prayers – Shredder with praise for support for mission trip.

Shredder took us out – great work (and tons of fun) men!
