Mosey to tennis courts to the horns and drums of Howard Shore…

Defend Helm’s Deep
– Tag based capture the flag
– 10 x merkins to reset as a defender
– 10 x squats to reset as an attacker
– Mutual tags are allowed
– Downed players can be tagged to reset their count
– Attackers win when flag is captured and returned
– 7 minute cap, swap and play other side

Ride of the Rohirrim
– Rohirrim run across field between baseball diamonds, dark forces of Easterlings and Haradrim tag (a la sharks & minnows)
– Tagged players go back to start after performing 10 burpees, hold plank through next waves until all are tagged
– Teams swap positions and repeat
– Cut field in half and all bear crawl instead of run
– Teams swap positions and repeat

Last March of the Hobbits
– “I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you!” – Samwise Gamgee
– Travel “there and back again” across the field
– Team must always be carrying one man, others are lunging. Cycle men out from the carrying group, cycling man runs to physically tag lunger who joins the carriers. All must be carried at least 20 steps, first full team to get there and back wins.

Destroy the Ring
– Overcome the mental and physical attachment to comfort with 25 burpees

Round table at the Green Dragon (Mary to time)

MOLESKINE:
All fun and games here on April Fool’s Day, evidenced by the ever industrious PAX finding ways to bend the rules to their purposes.

Defending Helm’s Deep went fairly smoothly, a few leaps over the tennis nets and an interesting tagged-but-tossing-the-flag strategy secured the win for both teams. Mutual tagging as a strategy “passed out of all knowledge” as teams fell back on a one-sided tagging approach.

Ride of the Rohirrim was not without incident – very few survivors made it across the fields though there were some very close calls. I’m sure I missed some, but I saw Topanga (Scott) absolutely lay out to tag Pole Dancer before he made it through. YHC managed to sprain an ankle while attempting to cut away from sooner, fulfilling the prophecy of all F3 games resulting in at least one injury. The bear crawl round proved to be far too difficult for the runners, with YHC being the only survivor due to playing dead under Matador after accidentally felling him in friendly fire before crawling to the end when the Eye of Sauron moved away.

Last March of the Hobbits was pretty much an instructional disaster which I will own up to, leaving much room for interpretation. After team 2 took a roaring lead by having everyone carry the one person to reduce the slowness of the lunging, team 1 copied that strategy and flew past during a switch while carrying our lightest member of the party, reminding team 2 that it was a minimum of 20 steps per person which they had misunderstood to mean only a maximum of 20 steps per person before switching. A valiant sprint was made after that reminder, but to no avail.

Almost everyone had a chance to provide an exercise in the ab section, but the Hobbits celebrating with a flagon at the Green Dragon were not as safe as they seemed…someone ripped a loud, juicy fart, inspiring Topanga (Scott) to comment: “Well that was straight from the eye of Sauron.” It was too much for the PAX to take, exercises suffering in quality for several minutes until Focker forced focus with his slow burn reverse leg raise.
Last but not least, almost everyone had a chance to provide an exercise in the ab section. Unfortunately the Hobbits at the Green Dragon weren’t as safe as they seemed…

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– brewsday is TODAY! 4:30p @ 12S Taproom!
– Spring Fling is this Sunday at the Warner parks, shelter #5, families & friends welcome!

COT:
– sooner shared
– Pole Dancer shared
– Focker shared

Grateful for the vulnerability in the CoT, PAX. YHC shared a word about the importance of fun and silliness in our every day lives, and shared appreciation for the PAX joining me in that today.

As always, it was an honor to lead, men. I’ll SYITG throughout the week!

BEACH BODS 🏖️ 💪

Q: Toothless
PAX: Pep, Cowboy, Betty Ford, Works for a Guy, Esposa
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6

– 15 x Carrot pullers
– 15 x Windmills

THE THANG: BEACH BODS :beach_with_umbrella: :muscle:

Separate into two groups, one group moves around a 50 yd box while other group busts out reps. Mosey-Shuffle-Bernie-Mosey around the box. All PAX complete all prescribed reps of the following exercises, plank and wait for all PAX in group to finish each exercise before starting the next one.

– Big boy sit ups x 50

– Bulgarian Split Squats x 50
– Outlaws x 50
– Dry docks x 50
– Smurf jacks x 50

MOLESKINE:

PAX made it through BEACH B’S, as YHC stressed form as the most important aspect of the workout so we took our time. Surprising how much harder these reps were when focusing on perfect form and not compensation with other muscles! Learned that Esposa has some knowledge to drop surfing and has been on his own Surfing Safaris. Pep really liked the run portion of the workout, and as usual Works for a Guy crushed the reps.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

– AOQ Grow School 3/22, stonewall @ tel:0600-0800
– Merkin challenges continue!

COT:

Prayer requests shared, along with gratefulness for ability to be out and active. Coffeeteeria was excellent thanks to Cowboy’s consistent efforts.

The PAX paired off and battled their litter mate; one PAX tossed the disc and exercised while the other fetched. Whoever had less reps on their turn had to repeat reps.
– Burpees

Accuracy Challenge!

The pups joined forces to play “closest to the disc.” Bear crawl to your first throw, all losers then lunged from their second throw to the disc.

Zoomies!
All PAX tossed discs in a speed round of disc golf- everyone but the winner exercised either burpees, squats, or merkins.

Back to the start for Mary!
