I believe the children are our are future… 1st 2.0 Workout of 2020
/in Southwake Dads /QIC: UTIPAX: 16-bit, Aurora, Bronto, Cat Girl, Dawgpound, Double E, Fanny Pack, Heatwave, Linedrive, Mater, Mickey, Mulan, Orange Julius, Redenbacher, Roger Roger, Rubble, Skidmark, Slide Rule, Swish, Thunder Sprinkles, UTI, Warbucks, Wingman
During one of the throwback week beatdowns Sir Dawg and YHC came to the realization that the first Dads workout of 2020 was to fall on the coming Saturday. No pre-blast had been sent and no notion of a Q had been seen. The 2.0s must be represented we thought! So we made a pact to ensure that the event would take place as planned. A little chatter on the slack channel and we HC’d but YHC had not put a ton of thought into what we would do. Luckily Dawg had an idea and 16-bit also had some thoughts on what to do and he joined our merry band. YHC decided to let it roll and simply made sure the pre-blasts were in place to make sure the 2.os weren’t lost in the wake of the Throwback week.

FNGs: Welcome Mater!, son of Fanny Pack
Warm Up: We mozy’d on over to the shelter and out of the rain. Dawg ran us through some warm-ups.
- SSH
- Good Mornings
- Merkins
- Backstrokes
The Workout:
Thang 1
DawgPound had devised a game. Cones were layed out in a pattern distanced at a 2.0 sized bunny hop in a zigzag fashion. Dads counted off. Half the dads and their 2.0s lined up at one side of the zigzag, the other half of the group and their 2.0s at the other. One at a time, a PAX from each end of the zigzag hopped down the pattern towards each other. When they met, a round of rock-paper-scissors commenced. The victor continued to move down the zigzag until meeting another PAX. The loser would get down on the ground for 5 merkins. Repeato until the crowd grew tired. (this kept going and going, the 2.0s really seemed to enjoy the game)
Thang 2
Dads and 2.0 teamed up for relay rounds by 16-bit.
- Round 1 – Dads\Balls to the Wall, 2.0s bear crawl to the opposite side of the shelter and back
- Round 2 – 2.0 Wheelbarrows, Dads bear crawl return with 2.os on their backs
- Round 3 – 2.0 BullFrogs, Dads duck walk back with 2.os on their backs
Thang 3
YHC hosted some random-o-rama moves contributed in a popcorn fashion from PAX in attendance
- Squats with 2.0s on the shoulders
- Curls with the Girls (really 2.0s girls or boys)
- 2.0 swings (passing 2.0s through legs and then upward in the air)
- Squats with 2.0s on backs
- 2.0 Carry Mozy down path towards former Ivan lot
- 2.0 Carry Indian Runs turn around at Ivan
- 2.0 Mozy return to the shelter
Mary: Picking up the 6. The 2.0s turned around and we all went back for the 6. We talked about what it meant to pick up the 6 and how everyone can apply it at the next 2.0 workout or really in anything they do. Always look for an opportunity to support someone that is behind you and help get them to where you are. Leave no man behind, leave no man where you found them.
Announcements:
- QSwap Weeks coming up
- Opportunities to keep Dads workouts moving through the months – Sign-up on the Q Sheet

T-Claps (Recognition): Mater – this FNG stepped up and took us out in the prayer today. He was locked in on the entire workout and has shown from the start that he is an F3 HIM. Despite being named for trashing the quality of his Dad’s car. The car that takes him cool places and gets him around town everyday :-P. Great work today Mater!
Thunder Sprinkles – Great work being the accountability partner your Dad needed to get to the workout. He wanted to go straight to Dunkin’ and you said “No way! I need to get my workout on!” Most 2.0s would have gone right for the Donuts
Prayer: Service men and women.
3 Qs Are Better Than 1
/in Southwake Dads /QIC: UTIPAX: 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
Kickoff to Football Season
/in AO Post, Southwake Dads /QIC: RedenbacherPAX: 16-bit, Cat Girl, Double E, Hitchhike, Linedrive, McNugget, Pikachu, Redenbacher, ShamWow!, Shimmer, Swish
Swish and I had hoped to utilize the soccer facilities but there was already a lot of action there by 9 am so we opted to move to the open field south of the creek that is adjacent to the playground. With only a few minutes until 9, Shimmer asked if anyone is coming and shortly after I hear Swish say “There is Pikachu!” Soon we see Pikachu emerge (no yellow suit today) with shovel flag in hand, and a little ways behind him is 16-bit and Shamwow! with their 2.0’s. Looks like we have enough for a game! We throw the football for a little bit, 9:00 hits and off we go for a short mosey toward the softball fields, through the overflow parking area, across the bridge by the playground, and back to where we started by the tennis courts. We circle up and squat hold for the 6 back at the flag and then move into warm up exercises…
FNGs: Not this morning.
Warm Up: Swish and I decided on a 14 count for each of the following: SSH, Squats, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Daisy Pickers, and Goof Balls. All exercises in cadence. Swish and I alternated leading the exercises and there was some mumblechatter of how Swish had his cadence on point. Shamwow! asked if we had practiced the night before, I said we went over cadence but are winging the exercises.
Now that we were all warmed up, YHC and Swish instructed PAX to mosey over to our designated field for some drills. Pikachu grabbed the shovel flag, I grabbed the cones and jerseys and we mosey over to the field. We reach the field and I realize I had forgot to bring the flags. I ask Swish to mosey back to grab them as I get the cones set up for the first exercise.
1st Drill- Agility and Speed
We split the PAX into 2 somewhat even teams and each member ran the drill in the image below. After the team member ran through all of the cones, they would tag the next person in line and they would rinse and repeat. The first team with all members through the cones won and the losing team had to do 5 burpees OYO. After a very close race, the winning team decided to join the losing team with the 5 burpess OYO. Completed 2 rounds before moving to the next exercise.
2nd Drill- Human Domino
Split the PAX into two groups as YHC and Swish set up cones to mark the distance of the exercise. Groups of 2 from each line would go against each other to see who could get to the end and run back to the line to tag the next group of two. The first person would lay on the ground on their stomach, the second person would hop over them and then lay on their stomach, rinse and repeat until reaching the next set of cones, jump up and run back to the line and tag the next group of 2. The first team with everyone finished won, the losers had to do 5 burpees OYO. Again, the winning team joined the losing team for the 5 burpees OYO.
Scrimmage!
A very competitive game that started off with some confusion on which team Shimmer was on. She had red flags on but was over with the yellow team. Pikachu tells her that it looks like there is an issue with the teams and she says looks like we have an issue with a beard! Shots fired! We all laughed and the game began. The score went back and forth with a few goal line stands by way of some stellar defense! Swish had 2 picks and Pikachu had a long run and put the moves on everyone. The game was won by the yellow team by a last minute long run by McNugget!
Mary: Mosey back to the tennis courts for PAX count of 11 and Name-o-Rama. As we are getting close to the flag, Linedrive comes running up to YHC and says “I am running faster than Pikachu” Shots fired again!
Announcements: F3 Family Picnic October 12th. Check Slack and Facebook.
T-Claps (Recognition): All of the 2.0’s for playing a great game and having fun! All PAX for making it to the workout. Shamwow! for rucking his 2.0 Hitchhike for the entire workout!
Prayer: Injured PAX, unspoken
YHC took us out. It was an honor to lead and a great time playing flag football!

World Cup Cardio For Dads and 2.0’s- 34 PAX Strong for Little Squirts workout
/in Southwake Dads /QIC: MookiePAX: 187, Axle, Boots, Dory, FedEx, Flower, H1N1, LED, Lipstick, M4L, Messi, Mickey, Mookie, Mulan, Pac-Man, Pastel, Pikachu, Popinski, Posada, Rapunzel, Redenbacher, Shimmer, Slappy, Slash, Sprinkles, Swish, Tee Time, Tumbles, Vanellope, Wallaby, Warbucks, Warhol, Yellow Card
With the Women’s World Cup tomorrow, YHC and his co-Q 2.0- Sprinkles mapped out a soccer inspired cardio workout complete with a 2.0 vs. F3 Dads finisher. Arrived a few minutes early to chalk off the back parking lot of Ivan, for some later exercises, but as we started walking back, we realized that the soccer fields which were usually filled with tournament play were actually empty. This would provide the perfect opportunity for on-field drills after warm-up, which ended up working out better. Dads and 2.0’s started filing in and gathering at the flag. Lots of new 2.0 faces and soccer balls filled the grassy area next to the tennis courts.
YHC looked down at his watch and then checked with 187 on the time, who indicated my watch was off by about 1:10. With that, YHC and Sprinkles had PAX circle up for instruction. No FNG dads this morning, but 8 new 2.0’s. Did a quick check on exercises with the 2.0’s- demonstrating bunny hops, Side Strattle Hops, Bear Crawls as these would be integral to some of the exercises we would be performing this morning. With everyone on point, YHC and Sprinkles made their most aggressive move of the morning with a light stroll around the soccer fields. As we made our way toward the back lot of Ivan, YHC realized this may not have been a smart move considering the little legs out there this morning, but the dads were veterans and knew how to modify by picking up 2.0’s on shoulders to complete the run back to the flag. T-Claps to those with multiples today to inspire the older ones back to the flag. Squat hold at the flag for the six and circled up for the following:
FNGs: Pastel, Boots, Warhol, Tumbles, Dory, Tea Time, Posada, Vanellope
Warm Up: Alex Morgan Inspired exercises for a 13 count for each of the following: SSH, Fazio Arms F\B, Goof Balls, Squats, Mountain Climbers, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Mountain Climbers. Not used to a 13 count, YHC struggled with cadence on half of the exercises and felt the need to stop at 10 and sometimes exceed 13 on a few occasions.
The Workout: With the soccer fields wide open, YHC and Sprinkles instructed PAX to grab all of the soccer balls and led them to the fields for a series of drills.
1st Drill- Up and Unders
With Pikachu and 187 holding a long wooden dowel horizontally, dads planked along the dowel line behind it. 2.0’s lined up about 20 yards in single file in the distance. As they were in line, they’d perform SSH’s and the person at the front of the line would sprint to the dowel, hop over it and then bear crawl through the tunnel of planked dads. Height of the dowel was adjusted per 2.0. Completed 1 round and switched up to the next exercise.
2nd Drill- Soccer Ball Toe Taps (New Mexico inspired)
Formed 5 lines of dads and 2.0’s 20 yards behind two soccer balls placed 10 ft apart. PAX in the lines planked, while leader in each line sprinted to the 1st ball and performed 13 toe taps before moving to the 2nd ball 10 feet ahead and performed 13 more toe taps, before filing back into the plank line. While in plank position, YHC, Pikachu, and Lipstick called out alternating plank exercises- Right Arm-Left Arm- Regular, Shoulder Taps, Merkins, and a questionable call for Pickle Pounders (Thanks, Lipstick- would not be an F3 workout without these). Completed 2 rounds before moving to the next exercise.
3rd Drill- Kick and Retrieve
3 Lines of PAX planked behind a soccer ball. Lead PAX would kick the soccer ball ahead about 10-15 years, while the PAX at the back of the line would get up and sprint forward to retrieve the ball and dribble it back to the lead PAX next in line and resume place at the front of the line to move their way back. This looked good on paper and on the field, until 187 pointed out that there was an error in the exercise design, which was causing him to continually kick and retrieve. In any event, we made it through somewhat of a cycle before calling a scrimmage of 2.0’s vs. Dads.
Let’s just say the dad’s were a bit competitive this morning. Some early scores and a dribbling masterpiece and goal put on by Pac-Man forced us to change the rules where adult PAX who were carrying a 2.0 would be considered a 2.0. It most be told that Pac-Man has serious soccer skills and if we were to give him a soccer ball at Paradise City, I guarantee he is 1-2 minutes faster than his normal pace time. An additional rule was also put in effect where adult PAX could only get 2 touches on the ball before having to pass or shoot. A big shout out to the Popinski and Boots tandem, who served as enforcers for the 2.o Team and also Tea Time showing off some sideline skills to a cross that should have been converted by Messi, but got a late jump.
9:45 hit and YHC notified PAX of time. PAX called for additional play and why not? We were having too much fun. Called game at 9:55. With soccer balls and water bottles retrieved, headed back to the flag for Mary.
Mary: Stretches OYO. Quick Count of PAX-34, Name-O-Rama, named 8 new 2.0’s
Announcements: F3 Dads camp coming up. Look on Slack and FB for updates or see M4L for further details.
T-Claps (Recognition): All PAX for coming out this morning to the workout. All of the 2.0’s for getting out there and having fun.
Prayer: Prayers for Pikachu’s wife who is experiencing back pain. Prayers for those healing from illness and injury. YHC took us out. On behalf of Sprinkles and YHC, it was a pleasure and honor meeting with everyone and leading the workout.
2nd F- Freeze Pop Fellowship followed.
MEGA F3 KICKBALL!!!
/in Southwake Dads /QIC: UTIPAX: 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!!!
8 PAX @ Ground Pounder for Clockwork, Bear Crawl Trains, and Crab City Dips
/in Ground Pounder /QIC: MookiePAX: Bobby Dall, Cupid, Lipstick, Mookie, Nemo, Redenbacher, Spud, Swish
With a strong contingent of SouthWake HIM running Wrightsville this weekend, YHC wasn’t sure what to expect for a turnout this morning at Ground Pounder. The week prior, Doc put together one of the best solo Q Back Blasts in as long as I can remember, and was hoping I had a circle of trust this week instead of the point of trust he experienced last week. Received a soft commit from Bobby Dall last night and was hoping for a few more so that I could introduce a few special exercises into this morning’s workout. As I gathered the last of my gear before heading out, I received a message from Nemo indicating that he’d be there with Lipstick after their U-Turn run.
Pulled into Jones Park at about 7:13, shuffled through some Amazon tunes to find a Banana Seat inspired track to end Mary with and proceeded with the traditional shovel flag plant. First clown car rolled in and it was Cupid, who had headlocked his brother-in-law into this morning’s workout. This morning was off to a great start with 3, including an FNG. Bobby Dall quickly turned his SC into an HC as he rolled in, followed by Reddenbacher and Swish. Nemo and Lipstick as promised joined the crowd and now we had a party.
With 3 minutes before game time, YHC gave the disclaimer, covering the fine print. 7:30 hit and we were off with a quick lap around the lot then circling up for the following exercises.
Warm Up: SSH X20, Hillbillies X20, Good Morning’s X10, Fazio Arm Circles 10F\10B, Michael Phelps as YHC gave instruction on first segment of workout, which would be some upper body work, but not before a quick run across the water toward Veteran’s Park
The Workout: PAX proceeded down the trail toward Veteran’s Park, side stepping a few puddles along the way. Made our way to side parking area in front of the picnic shelter. YHC instructed PAX to plank hold, leaving enough room in front and to each side to rotate as we would be performing some clockwork merkins. Started at 1 o’clock and moving all the way to 12 o’clock. With the chest adequately warmed up, mosey’d to the picnic shelter where we performed some Slide Rule Erkin, Derkins, and Dips X 10. Inserted an extra round of Step Ups X 10 and Prison Squats X 10 to get blood flowing back to the legs. Indian Run back to the originating parking lot and on to Jones Playground.
At the playground, YHC shared a new exercise known as the Crab City Dip, which was inspired by our very own AXE with a slight modification that was introduced by my 2.0. For those that don’t know AXE (AX w\an E) is the coolest phys ed teacher according to my youngest and she came home one day and said that AXE has them do an exercise in class called ‘Crab City’ (which is basically a shoulder tap exercise in crab position). She demonstrated it a few months ago on a bottom step, but added a dip at the end….So there you have it…Crab City Dip was born. My first Q at Ground Pounder and of course we had to insert this gem.
PAX occupied each stone wall 4 on each side as YHC lead a set of Crab City Dips X10 in cadence. PAX then mosey’d to the rock pile. Ground Pounder just isn’t Ground Pounder unless you hit the rock pile at least once during the workout. Instructed PAX to pick a rock they would be challenged doing reps of 15-20 with. This would be their rock for this next segment and would not be rotating amongst PAX.
For this next segment, YHC informed PAX that the following exercises would be performed between the speed bumps, which were about 30 yrds apart. PAX started at the originating speed bump and got the arms warmed up with some Curls for the Girls X20. John Cusack’d to the opposite speed bump, where PAX performed a set of Goblet Squats with the Rock X 15. PAX put their rocks down along the fence and were instructed to form a line from the speed bump, leaving enough room to get in plank position, head to foot with each PAX in a line. We would be doing an Indian Bear Crawl Train, where the PAX from behind would bear crawl forward until we hit the originating speed bump in front. As the bear crawler proceeded forward, remaining PAX held plank with YHC alternating exercises intermittently to keep all involved (Left arm up, Right arm up, Regular, Shoulder Taps X 20). With the speed bump end point tapped, PAX got on their six and performed some core exercises- LBC X20, Freddy Mercury X20. Brief 5 count and then a wind sprint to the opposite speed bump.
PAX reunited with their rocks and performed the following series of exercises- Tricep press x 20, Squat hold w\rock for a 5 count, Shoulder Press X 20. Lunge walk to the opposite speed bump and at the halfway point butt kickers to the end. PAX performed a set of Boat Canoe’s X 20 and then a final wind sprint back to the speed bump to pick up their rocks. On their six, PAX performed chest presses X 20. John Cusack’d the rocks back to the pile and mosey’d back to the parking lot starting point.
For PAX that have experienced some of my Q’s at Crazy Ivan, you know I’m a fan of parking spaces, so it only seemed fitting that we do some parking space crawls and curb work. Each PAX occupied a parking space and bear crawled to the opposite space that had a cement curb waiting for them. PAX performed a plank hold for the six on the curb and then performed 10 Erkins in cadence. Lunge walk back to opposite parking space. Bear Crawl back to curb for one last set of Erkins x10.
Circled up for Mary.
Mary: As mentioned earlier in this BB, I had shuffled through Amazon tunes and found a Banana Seat inspired track. Last night as I was viewing the Wrightsville name-o-rama on the FB feed, 2 things hit me 1) I continue to be in awe of the giant circle that just keeps growing year after year for this race and 2) that is a killer stache BS is sporting. Decided to Bring Sally up and Bring Sally Down varying 45 and 60 degrees with alternating ups and downs, followed by Have a Nice Day!
With 3 minutes left, we had to give our new FNG brother an F3 Name. Our FNG this morning (Hospital Name: Chris) shared that he is originally from Atlanta and an engineer, currently residing in Fuquay. YHC having been in Atlanta the week before for some reason had the Atlanta Hawks fresh on his mind, so naturally we paid homage to an NBA star from Atlanta who engineered some of the greatest dunks of all time in the 80’s- Spud Webb. Welcome, Spud! We are better because you are here. Hope to see back in the gloom next week.
Announcements: Wrightsville Half and Full today, Tobacco Half and Full next week. Any Given Sunday tomorrow.
Prayer: Lots of prayers this morning. Prayers to keep all those running today safe and healthy. Cupid’s grandmother, Lipstick’s mother-in-law. Shredder for continued healing post surgery, Double D and his family, Moby and his dad. Continued prayers for Crab Legs and all those unspoken.
Little Squirts

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
