Fun and Games:

Crawlspace led PAX in game of “hacky sack run and ride.”

2 PAX with hacky sacks. Remaining PAX try to avoid being tagged with hacky sack, but must stay under the roof of the Parthenon. 10 Merkin penalty for being tagged. There was much running and many unsuccessful attempts to hide behind columns. Fun was had by all.

Welcome FNG Ahab (EH of Black Lung). Ahab provided a plethora of nameworthy stories from his past. Notable name candidates were Big Tuna and Junior Asparagus.

Coffeteria afterwards. Good discussion about what the Q-Source is and isn’t.

Q: Right Said

Warm-o-rama was a mosey around the construction fence stopping at each sign for an increasing number of merkins/squats. Mosey ended at oval “racetrack” by the Parthenon. A few quick good mornings, LBACs, and then it was a mosey to the hill where we usually do 7s or 11s.

Thang:

What’s better than playing frisbee when you can actually see at that hour? Playing frisbee on a steep hill. The teams were small, but tenacious. If your team got scored on, it was 5 burpees. If you scored, it was 5 merkins. Burpees and merkins increased with each score (thus, increasing incentive not to get scored on). Teams swapped uphill advantage each score.

No time for Mary

Great coffeteria at Three Brothers afterwards.

Stand Up: PAX held People’s Chair while the song Stand Up for the Champions by Right Said Fred played. Each time the phrase “Stand up” was heard, the PAX stood up and then went right back into People’s Chair. 3:18 song. There was lactic acid aplenty.

Short mosey to Marlborough and Chesterfield for 10 merkins followed by 5s between Chesterfield and Fairfax with merkins and squats.

Mosey back to the school pick up circle for a group exercise inspired by Trapper Keeper’s soccer game. Standing in a circle, each PAX took a turn naming an exercise and a rep count and then the volleyball was passed around the circle until the ball touched the ground. The number of touches before the ball hit the ground was subtracted from the initial rep count.

Mosey back to the start.
