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.

The Workout: Ultimate, 3 merkins on the frisbee drop to start, then 3 Squats and a 10 count exercise for each score, we did some Side Straddle Hops, Merkins, Burpees, LBCs, Big Boy Situps, Hillbillies, Imperial walkers, and some Squats.

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.

PAX: 187, Abe, Banana Seat, Bobby Boucher, Cupid, Dawgpound, Emeril, Fram, Full House, McNugget, Redenbacher, Roaming Gnome, UTI

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!

Ultimate 10 vs. 10

December 6, 2021/in AO Post, Mutiny /QIC: Yogurt
PAX: @Flicker, @MIA, abacus, Banana Seat, Blue Hen, Bobby Dall, Cupid, Dauber, Doogie, Fram, Kubota, Maybelline, Mr. Terrific, Quiver, Roaming Gnome, Shredder, Sketch, UTI, Warbucks, Yogurt

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.
