FNGs: None
COUNT: 22
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:

COT:

It was a pleasure to lead y’all this morning!

[edwin_wrucking] Must be present to win

AO: edwin_wrucking
Q: Stubs
PAX: FLO, Pitmaster, Gecko, Stubs, 0
FNGs: 1 0
COUNT: 4
CONDITIONS: about as nice as you can get

WARMUP:

THE THANG: the usual ruck, with plenty of chatter

MOLESKINE: the quote of the day, was a saying we use at work often, not attributed to anyone.
“Must Be Present to Win”

It’s twofold, showing up in person and being in attendance makes a difference but in life something I struggle with is really being present when I do show up.
Whether it’s the business meeting, playing with your kids, or date night with the wife,…you must be present to win.

MOLESKINE:
Perspective.

Our roots run deep from our history and past. Don’t let those hinder you from understanding another person’s perspective because their roots run deep in their past as well. Be open and present. This has impacted me in my Christian journey with Christ. I struggle to understand other denominations, especially my wife and her Catholic faith. We both have to remember that context means different things to each of us when referring to church teachings. We are saying the same thing, but our past perspective blurs our understandings.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Check the general channel for serving opportunities with SalPal They need PAX to step up and volunteer. I hear no burpees are required
– Bellevue annual picnic is this weekend. Bring your family and enjoy.

PRAYER REQUESTS:
– Stubs son and getting his driver’s license
– Siri and his wife for a healthy pregnancy
– Pitmaster and his career progression decisions

Thanks for letting me bring the beatdown! Have a great weekend men!
