Sketch – F3 South Wake

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.

Prayers: Unspoken. Fram gathered in the spirit and took us out with a nice prayer.

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.

3 Qs Are Better Than 1

October 5, 2019/in Southwake Dads /QIC: UTI
PAX: Heatwave, Hitchhike, McNugget, Mickey, Mulan, Redenbacher, ShamWow!, Shimmer, Sketch, Swish, UTI, Warbucks

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

MEGA F3 KICKBALL!!!

June 8, 2019/in Southwake Dads /QIC: UTI
PAX: 3rd Down, 4th Down, Aho, Axle, Charzar, Dovetail, Dumbo, Enforcer, Flower, Heatwave, Katniss, LED, Lipstick, Mickey, Orange Julius, Pablo, Redenbacher, Shimmer, Shortcut, Sketch, Slappy, Slash, Slide Rule, Spidey, Swish, Unicorn, UTI, Warbucks

FNGs: Welcome FNGs!

Shortcut – Katniss’s 2.0 William, he’s 14 and “he’s lazy and doesn’t like to do stuff”
Flower – Lipstick’s youngest 2.0. He came prepared with his name and was excited to share. There was some debate on if this was flour (cooking?) or flower (plant?) but he cleared it up for us.
Mickey – Warbuck’s youngest boy (for now), we nearly missed him in the FNG naming ceremony but he kept saying Mickey and so we named him. Welcome Mickey!

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!!!

Uno, Racing and Burpees @ Southwake Dad’s Workout

May 4, 2019/in Southwake Dads /QIC: Cowboy
PAX: 16-bit, Beater, Blue Hen, Candyland, Castle, Cat Girl, Clean Sweep, Cowboy, Cross Check, Dawgpound, Emeril, Hard Hat, Heatwave, Houdini, Linedrive, Maybelline, Mulan, Orange Julius, Pac-Man, Peeping Tom, Pikachu, Qbert, Rapunzel, Roger Roger, Rubble, Sketch, Skidmark, Slide Rule, Speed Racer, Thunder Sprinkles, Toothless, UTI, Warbucks, Wingman, Zookeeper

FNGs:

Rapunzel, Rubble, Castle, Cat Girl, Clean Sweep

Warm Up:

The warm up was led by Sir Dawgpound and started just as the sun cleared the clouds. Exercises consisted of:

SSH In Cadence x 20
Daisy Pickers x 20
Fozzio Arm Circles Forwards and Backwards x 15 each
Some Light Stretching with Left leg over Right and Right Leg Over left.

The Workout:

The workout had 2 parts. The first was led by YHC (Cowboy) and consisted of a modified version of Uno. The PAX were divided into 4 teams and each team was dealt 7 cards. The teams were to move through each card and do the following:

For a Skip Card the PAX would Skip their side of the Tennis Court
For a Reverse Card the PAX would run backwards their side of the Tennis Court
For a Draw 2 they would run to the center of the court and pick 2 more cards
For a Wild Card they could pick their Color and do 10 reps of the selected Color’s exercise
For a number card they would look up the exercise associated with that color and do that number of reps
- Red = Merkins
- Green = Star Jumps
- Blue = Squats
- Yellow = LBCs (IC)

This was a bit disorganized but seemed to be fun for the kids and their dads. We did this for 3 rounds.

The 2nd part of the Workout was led by Slide Rule and consisted of 2 activities. For the first activity all the dads formed a line and planked while the kids jumped over the legs of their dads. We then repeated but the Dads were in Downward Dog and the Kids Bear Crawled under through the smelly tunnel of Dads. We then repeated the first part with planks and kids jumping the dads legs but added that once the kids were done the dads would follow the kids jumping the legs of their fellow dads and the kids after they had planked at the end of the line.

The second activity was a series of races in honor of Kentucky Derby Day. The kids sprinted, bunny hopped, etc for each of their races. The dads Bear Crawled and Wheel Barrowed their races. Finally the kids rode their dads like horses and we raced around the tennis court.

Mary:

For Mary the PAX honored Riley Howell – the hero of the UNCC shooting with 21 Burpees together because in F3 we don’t do things OYO we are always together. Slide Rule also shared some very inspiring words about doing the right thing even when your scared and to remember we all have each other to draw on in those times.

Announcements:

We need volunteers for the next Dads workout in June. Note it is the same weekend as Run the Quay and a Triathlon that several PAX are running.

T-Claps (Recognition):

YHC personally feels that Skidmark and Pikachu deserve some T-Claps for tripling down today including lots of EC. Great work men!

Finally Dawgpound came today with water, juice and snacks for the kids today and given the heat they were very needed and very appreciated.

Prayer:

Remember that we all have each other and that we can draw on each other to do the right thing, even when its difficult and scary. Prayers for the family of Riley Howell and Prayers for all those unspoken prayer requests.

Little Squirts

March 2, 2019/in Southwake Dads /QIC: Emeril
PAX: 16-bit, 3rd Down, 4th Down, Aho, Beater, Blue Hen, Bubba, Buford, Candyland, Cartwheel, Charzar, Cowboy, Crayola, Cupid, Dovetail, Dumbo, Dusty, Emeril, Enforcer, FedEx, Flanigan, Foul Ball, Gig, Gump, Hard Hat, Heatwave, Hightower, Julius, LED, Linedrive, M4L, Moby, Mulan, Pablo, Potter, Q*Bert, Rainmaker, Redenbacher, Roger Roger, Rudy, Shimmer, Short Pole, Shortstop, Shut In, Sketch, Skidmark, Slam Dunk, Slide Rule, Slider, Slow Pitch, Sonic, Speed Racer, Spidey, Stealth, Storm, Swish, The Eagle, Thunder, Tyson, UTI, Warbucks, Whodini, Wingman, Yellow Card, Yogurt, Yosef, Zookeeper, Zumba

8:40 on a cool, wet Saturday morning and Bluehen, Hard Hat, Speed Racer, Emeril, Potter, Q-Bert walked throughout Womble planning the first of many monthly 2.0 workouts. Pucks, ropes, hoola-hoops and flags were spread throughout the park. Around 8:50 the PAX and their 2.0’s started to trickle in. Quite a few 2.0’s had already been to some workouts and had names but there was a big group of FNG 2.0’s in the mix. A great first turn-out.

Warm Up: Quick jog around the tennis courts. Time to get the 2.0’s riled up. First exercise Fortnite’s Hype kicked off by Bluehen. Second exercise Floss led by Q-Bert. Into evolution of Kid: Planks, Monkey Humpers, Squats, Duck Walk, Butt Kicks, High Knees, Jumping Jacks

The Workout:

Jog down to back parking lot. Emeril pointed the 2.0’s onto one of 2 sides of the parking lot. Bin full of hockey pucks in between the groups. 1 2.0 per team ran to the pin and retrieved a hockey puck and returned and dropped it into the hoola hoop circle. While the kids raced to grab a puck the PAX did push-ups and squats. Emeril brought more pucks than he thought so at one point 2.0’s were asked to grab 2 and then 3 pucks at a time. Yellow card was ready to move on to a new exercise so him and a couple other 2.0’s grabbed the bin and brought it back to their side. Automatic disqualification for his team and 10 SSH as punishment.

Next up bear crawl capture the flag

PAX put in their flags and bear crawled up the parking lot while the 2.0’s ran around capturing their flags and taking them back to the hoola hoop circle. 2.0’s quickly won. 10 burpees to the PAX as punishment.
2.0’s were up next as they put the flags on and did a duck walk while the dad’s did a 1 legged hop to try to catch them. 2.0’s won so 10 burpees to the PAX as punishment.

3 sets of indian runs back to the tennis courts area for 2.0’s vs PAX in Tug a War. Matches started with multiple 2.0’s on one end and Flanigan on the other. 2.0’s won. 5 Merkins for the PAX. Second match pitted Moby, Beater and Bubba vs teh 2.0’s. 2.0’s won. 5 Merkins for the PAX. Third match pitted 6-7 PAX vs the 2.0’s. 2.0’s won again. Everyone does 5 Merkins
