Emd of summer 9Square Arena Challenge!

AO: pain-train
Q: Wolfpack , Sooie, Siri
PAX: Bean Burger (Fairview, TN), Timber, Cable News, Cheeks, Siri, Sooie, Stu Cook, Wolfpack, Rosie
FNGs: 1 Rosie
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: Warm enough to sweat easily and cool enough to be comfortable.

WARMUP: SSHs waiting for Cheeks annnndddd mosey to the 9Square Arena. Shoulder-rama then stretches while 9Square rules explained

THE THANG:
9Square!
– King (center square) gets 1 point for each round they stay in the center.
– Two 15 minutes halves were played with a 1/4 mile Loose Caboose run at halftime
– Whomever has the most cumulative points gains title as International F3 9Square Champion of the Universe
– In between rounds…
– King does a burpee equal to amount of points won
– Corner squares do 5 Merkins
– Middle squares do 5 air squats
– If King is kicked out has to do a slalom cone run and sprint back (75-100ish yards)

MOLESKINE:
By our expert math skills at least 250 reps of squats/merkins were performed and over 1500 yards were sprinted.

G-string was not in attendance and has forfeited his opportunity to defend his title. We missed ya buddy! Next time!

Sooie may or may not have been asleep and was heavily targeted by PAX. Made an epic run there at the end, but it just wasn’t enough…

FNG @Rosie made his mark at pain-train, but again… just not enough for the title…

All PAX gave it their all and all was given and in the end… our new… undisputed… INTERNATIONAL… F3 9SQUARE… CHAMPIOONNNN OF THE UUNNIIVEERRSEEEE….

Cable News!!!!

He has the height. He has the Burpee stamina. It was all CableNews on the morning show in the gloom this AM. Well done! Your name will live on forever on the PainTrain shovel flag!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergences coming… check the Slack.

F3 Fairview launching next Thursday!

COT: Find the fun in the hard stuff and make sure to bring a friend along when it gets real tough!
