It’s groundhog day or the second day of the second month or 2/2. I think 22 is a good theme.

Cold and breezy. Little sun still up. Everybody’s sitting in cars trying to stay warm.

I do believe that asses were kicked. Hard. YHC’s anyway.

Tonight at Midoriyama, Def Leppard’s ultimate frisbee winning streak ended.
It was marvelous. Epic. Life changing.

Mosey back to flag.

Circle up. I touched on us being there for each other in the challenging times of losing a parent. It’s bad, really sad, but, having the love, prayers, and support from your family, friends, F3 and church families, you learn in the end it was not as bad as you thought it would be because of grace and later can offer hope to others based on your experience.

Announcements. Rinsed and repeat from before. BOLO for email about CSAUP from Broke. Yank closed 26Sep20.

Prayer for Double Stuf friend and his dad. Clavin on the loss of his mom. Purple Haze mom’s friend’s spouse.
Broke’s mom. Others that were spoken and unspoken. Each other. Our country.

Oompa’s out.

It’s a beautiful day at Midoriyama. The sun is shining. Nope, rapidly darkening skies with thunder on the horizon and moving swiftly our way. Birds are singing. Nope, oh well, at least it’s my birthday.

I see Gold Digger’s car in the parking lot, as he’s probably running a half marathon for EC.

It’s 1730. Time to rock.

No FNG, so no disclaimer. We have a shovel but no flag. Pledge to the imaginary flag.

Circle up.

Since I am now officially a forgetful old geezer, I graciously allowed the PAX count our exercises as we progress around the circle.

30 Side straddle hops (YHC)
30 Side straddle hops + 30 second plank (Broke)
30 Side straddle hops + 30 mountain climbers (Dr Seuss) + 30 second plank
30 Side straddle hops, 30 mountain climbers + 30 shoulder taps (Tyson) + 30 second plank
30 Side straddle hops, 30 mountain climbers, 30 shoulder taps + 30 little baby crunches (Love Boat) + 30 second plank
30 Side straddle hops, 30 mountain climbers, 30 shoulder taps, 30 little baby crunches + 30 squats (Def Leppard) + 30 second plank
30 Side straddle hops, 30 mountain climbers, 30 shoulder taps, 30 little baby crunches, 30 squats + 30 dips (Purple Haze) + 30 second plank
30 Side straddle hops, 30 mountain climbers, 30 shoulder taps, 30 little baby crunches, 30 squats, 30 dips + 30 calf raises (Gold Digger) + 30 second plank

We learned that our esteemed educator (Dr. Seuss) counts really slow in cadence and he can call 30 mountain climbers in 6 seconds when single counting.

About this time, Q called it quits 15 minutes early due to lightning in the area. I’m truly sorry that we missed getting to add 30 merkins (Wichita), 30 flutter kicks (Pockets) and 30 burpees (Blart).

I’m sure all are happy that I lied about my age.

Prayer Requests for Sister Act’s family, Purple Haze, Mayor’s mom, Clavin’s M, HIPAA, T-Square, Whoopie was doctoring someone’s dad and others I can’t recall.

YHC took us out.

Freight is responsible for refunding your prorated ticket costs.

YHC got to Midoriyama in good time from Charlotte due to the lack of the usual hordes of non driving idiots on I-85 South. Something good did come from the COVID-19 virus. Hit the parking lot at Midoriyama to see a handful of PAX sitting on the sidewalk chatting as YHC walked to them.

A truck pulls up, a window rolls down, a 9 mil started busting caps, no wait, wrong story. We hear “Are you F3?”. We replied, “Yes.” The truck didn’t drive off. It parked and Whopper joined our group, who informed us that he had been to Painlab at the Schiele a time or two. He had picked the wrong day to come to Midoriyama for the first time. Not really, glad to meet you and see you come out to push the rock at the toughest afternoon workout in F3 nation. I have heard that it really gets easier. It also gets hotter.

More PAX show up. YHC shows the curious First F which of the two weinkes would he pick. Broke states neither as the one called “The D-O-L-P-H” starts with burpees and only gets worse. The second is called “Pole Dancin'” and all you do is run from light pole to light pole and like 500 exercises.

Site Q Wojo shows up with a shovel flag. Yay!

It’s 5:30. Time to get after it.

Pledge

Warm up
10 SSH (IC)

YHC counts the PAX off as ones or twos. First F gets to pick one of the two weinkes sight unseen. Ones off with Broke. Twos off with YHC.

L LBFC 40 IC
P People’s air presses in people’s chair x 45 IC

After the twosies completed The Dolph we moseyed over to the swap places with Broke’s guys so they could enjoy The Dolph and we could do some Pole Dancin’. Luckily they were finishing the flying squirrels as we arrived.

Full Disclosure. YHC didn’t complete all 50 hand release merkins so finished them at home in the driveway for his punishment. YHC also didn’t instruct the other group that YHC eliminated his triple nickel portion, but, we actually lunged, squatted and merkined up that dang steep hill.

After each group finished, mosey back to flag. 6:15. Quitting time.

Announcements: Ville to Ville. Sign up, plenty of spots for more teams. Believe we have five full teams now.

Prayers: Montross’ M, families, Def Leppard’s foot, each other.

Thanks for letting me Q!
