Since taking over as site Q at The Fighting Yank I’ve decided to up my Qing. Some times by necessity and others are planned. This one was sort of planned. I’ve enjoyed going to Midoriyama so when I played ultimate frisbee for the first time I knew we could do it at the Yank.

We warmed up but with no written weinke I don’t remember what we did.

The Bunker stayed with Tiger and the boot campers took off.

On our mosey I noticed we had an uneven amount of guys, but Wojo brought his cleats and is a pro, so his team was going to be down one.

Stop at a hill for some hill work. Stop at each light poll do 5 HR merkins, run back to the crosswalk for 5 CDDs. Repeat until I say stop, about 6 polls.

Mosey to the track for our game. We used Pilgrims Progress’ disk and he helped set up our end zones. After a few falls, bumps and fouls the game was over. Def Leopards team lost even though he wasn’t there. Brutus was the MVP on offense and defense.

Back to the flag for the pledge of allegiance.

Just enough time for 11’s- WW2 and shoulder taps. I poorly explained this so Dingy was a little confused. Sorry brother Q fail.

Freon noticed an unmarked car parked with lights on pointed towards us. Probably security but I started to wonder if someone called an Uber to get back to the flag, it crossed my mind. Oh well, mosey back to Yank for a little Mary.

With the CSAUP claiming a few of our regulars and the Q I decided to keep it simple. Stopped at the gas station to acquire a deck of cards since I couldn’t find the deck at our house then wait to see if anyone shows up. 3 others rolled in at we went to work.

The first of two Q fails took place here. I took the boot campers and The Bunker went with Rebar. We moseyed to Old Stone to start what I called Route 66 but while instructing what to do I was quickly corrected. Not sure what I called but this is what we did.

11 at Members Only this dry cool morning. Some did EC but came back through to grab the rest of the pack.

I’m not a Panther fan, Go 49ers!, but Steve Smith has a memorable quote of “ice up son!” after a tough game a while ago. After our run and during announcements Tiger dropped some knowledge about getting some lights during these runs, I took that to heart hence the title of this BB.

On June 29th 2020 I pulled into Mt. Hollywood not knowing what to expect, I had my keys, a water bottle and a towel. Termite had the Q and they had already started with the one mile run that he is famous for but Broke stayed back with me until we sort of caught up. I know now he could have been in the front but as a true HIM he was helping me get started with this F3 thing. I haven’t looked back until today this is what happened.

Warmup: Toy soldiers x15 IC, some stretching while we wait on Ball Joint who said he was coming. We couldn’t wait any longer so we took off for a Termite one mile run around town.

Stop at the bank and line up for an Indian run with a twist. While posting at Cape Fear at the beach I picked up a little variation to the run where the last person dropped for 5 Burpees and then caught up to the front. This continued until everyone had done the burpees and taken the lead. Mosey to Ida Rankin Elementary.

One set of 11’s – CDD’s and Jump Squats running around the parting lot.

Pledged to the flag pole with no flag. After we were done Sarlacc noticed one far off in the distance so we were good.

Mosey back to the start for some Derkins, Dips and Werkins X5 then repeat X10, X15 and X20.

3 minutes for some Mary – LBCs X20, American Hammers X10 IC, Cherry Pickers, and Bobby Hurley’s.

That’s time!
