Day: August 24, 2022

YHC showed up about 10 minutes before start time with the early guys already in the shade by the turd shack. We shot the breeze for a few minutes until it was time to go. We had a cotter out today, Billy Ray who is Quiche’s son. I knew he was coming so I put together a music focused beatdown. This is what happened…

Pledge of Allegiance

Circle up for a warmup of 5 burpees because there was already some complaining going on and asking for this and that. It was at this point that the decision was made. Give em what they want. Ultimate!

Wojo was asked to retrieve the frisbee and we moseyed toward the soccer fields. Catch the 6 before we got into some music number trivia. There was a claim that all of my facts were wrong and all I could do is blame it on the correctness of the Google search.

Triple Nickel – On one side of the field we did 5 burpees, run to the other side and do 5 big boy situps. We did this 5 times.

When we finished this, it was back to the music number facts and questions, mainly directed at Billy Ray. He didn’t know any of the numbers so we did some more exercises to make sure we were properly warmed up before we got to The Thang.

Ultimate Frisbee!!!

We counted off and split up the teams. Basically, team Sargento dominated the momentum and scoring but there was some great hustle put forth by everyone. The fresh out of college whippersnapper Billy Ray really surprised the guys by showing off some prolific Ultimate skills despite his assumed out of shapedness. Goes to show, don’t judge a book by it’s cover. In the end the scoreboard showed this result.

Team Sargento – at least 10

Team Other Guys – not as many as Team Sargento

We moseyed back to start, did the namorama and hung out chatting some more because that’s what we do.

Announcements – PT Test Saturday, 50 mile relay 9/10, skating with Mayor 9/17, JJ5k 9/24, Convergence 10/8

Prayer Requests – BOS, Huck, Oompa’s injury & healing, Billy Ray’s visa approval

Thanks for playing guys. Aye!

Nice to have a large crowd at Folsom this morning. Lots of work was performed, and here is a sample of things we did.

Triple Nickel on the hill on walking trail.   That stupid hill is terrible!,

Killer “Bs” routine on tennis courts!  This was an Iron Pax Challenge workout from several years ago, and it’s terrible.  The IPC version was for 5 rounds, but this one was for 3 Rounds!  Still sucked.

11s on the tennis court!

Route 66 Bear Crawl Mike Tyson’s.  This is my go to routine at Folsom and it never disappoints!!

Appreciate the chance to Q!
