Tied 3-3!

So, I remember on a Saturday, about this time last year, Swimmer lead a Cotter-Q where we played Frisbee Football for about an hour. At the end of it we had basically ran a 5K (just over 3.1 miles). No one has done that for a workout at Folsom since. Monday was my 38th birthday and I wanted to have some fun (even though I hate running).

The lights have been out for a large part of Folsom. Plus, the lights for the soccer field haven’t been installed yet. No biggie… I rolled into Folsom a few minutes early and just left my truck running with the lights on – shining out on the field. The rules were simple… you can’t run with the frisbee. You have to throw it to someone else- above all else… run and have fun. Oh, and the team who is scored upon has to do 5 burpees.

We started out with some mountain man poopers, but I really should have demoed. Instead, I called them in cadence and started to count, but stopped when I realized 3-4 of our newer guys had never done the warm up. It threw me off and Montross was quick to call me out on the Q-fail. So, when he jokingly stopped at 10, I said – “Let’s mosey!”.

I don’t know too many who actually caught the frisbee (including YHC – who didn’t drop it once the prior time). It came down to – “you can’t catch what you can’t see” (if you think about that for more than a couple of seconds you can probably turn that into an object lesson or find a biblical truth that supports that statement). I honestly don’t know that you could be much more “in the gloom” than on a soccer field after it has rain the night before, in the dark – where the bright lights from a truck do little to aid your sight (in many cases the blind you).

In summation, we ran around in the wet grass, barely able to see, for around 25 minutes straight. We all did some running (according to my “F-armin” (Fake Garmin) it said I ran 1.6 miles), we all did at least 15 burpees. Before I had to leave at 6am my team was able to even the score and tie it all up. A rematch may have to take place in the near future. The pax all seemed to have a good time while working out and it was an easy Q for me. Oh, and no one took it too seriously – so, no one got seriously injured (other than West Side and Wichita running into each other – like running into a brick wall).

Wichita took over for me at 6am with some dora near the COT.

Thanks for allowing me to lead (even though I didn’t do very much of it this time – other than calling the game and making up rules as we went (for what was a touchdown and what was in and out of bounds).

YHC,
