THE THANG:

Krazy Kickball!

Three thrilling innings of sweaty kickball shenanigans.

Rules for offense:
– base running is a MOT depending on inning & base (bear crawls, Imperial Walkers, lunges, politicians, somersaults cartwheels, etc.)
– PAX on bench perform exercise while waiting to kick (dips, step-ups, etc.)

Rules for defense:
– PAX in the field must perform an exercise while waiting (SSHs, squats, etc.)
– kicked ball cannot be fielded until defending PAX perform a set of exercises (7x WW2s, 5x Iron Mikes, etc.)

Team 2 had a walk-off single to win 5-4!

MOLESKINE:

It has been my joy to serve the-knoll as AOQ for the past year. I am thrilled to now pass the flag to a HIM who has shown strong leadership, creativity, and a quiet devotion to the Bellevue community.

Mazel tov & congratulations, Half Lyfe! We are so grateful for you & your willingness to lead our rowdy crew. :muscle:

CONDITIONS: Very foggy! Low 60s

WARMUP:

Climber stretches with some added back + quad work. So nice.

Took a mosey to the old Anderson house & back.

THE THANG:

Part 1 – Butterfly Tag

Mosey to lit cones in field.

Two pax are IT, trying to tag everyone else.

All PAX must perform “flying motion” while evading taggers (BACS, raise-the-roofs, Moroccan Night Clubs, etc.).

If tagged, you become a cocoon & perform 10x Lotus squats (arms clasped straight above head) before returning to game.

Game ends when 3 minute timer buzzes. Repeat with new taggers.

Part 2 – TABATA WAR

Mosey to flood table.

Count off into two teams.

4 identical Tabata stations for both teams, opposite sides of flood table.

Stations are:

Step-Ups
Bird Dogs
Elevated Merkins
LBC’s

30 seconds on, 15 seconds to rotate.

Deck of cards, shuffled & split on the flood table.

After a full round of exercises are complete, two pax will meet at the table to play a game of War. Best 3 out of 5.

Loser must flick the spinner of doom & their team will perform whatever the pointer lands on:

5 burpees
Sprint to backstop, mosey back
10 Lt. Dans
15 Carolina Dry Docks

Winners stay loose with Soviet Shakes

Played 5 rounds… Team #1 was victorious (3-2)!

MOLESKINE:

My girls & I experienced the joy of the Lord serving at a special VBS last week. Encouraged the PAX to look for opportunities to serve in your community & church alongside your kids. It is so worth it!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Check Slack & stay tuned for 4th of July Convergence! :flag:
