Preamble:
13 PAX met in the muggy but cool morning Georgia gloom. YHC originally planned this beatdown for a birthday Q at the end of June, then postponed it to join Raptor’s sendoff for Hasselhoff. The only promises ahead of time were 80’s nostalgia and horrible music. I leave it to you to judge whether these were kept.
Warm-O-Rama:
Mosey to the big flag, then 15 SSH, 15 Imperial Walkers, 12 Weed Pickers, 15 Windmills, Forward/Reverse Arm Circles and COVID’s.
The Thang:
Mosey to the rock pile for a small-to-medium Coupon & then to FOD. Assemble at home plate; YHC posted several copies of the “Sheet of Pain” to the chain link with wooden clothes pins.
The “Sheet of Pain” is a shameless but disposable & compact rip-off of the “Board of Pain”. Exercises listed on the sheet are performed as an Escalator with a lap around the grass line of the infield between. Use Coupon as often as able.
The true challenge was psychological… an entire soundtrack of 8-bit music from the original Nintendo Entertainment System. So many titles to choose from… Selected game themes centered on combat/sporting titles to keep it upbeat. Soundcloud playlist link posted below:
With 1 minute on the clock we returned the coupons and mosey’ed back to the flag.
COT:
After a quick count off and name-o-rama, we opened for prayer request and announcements. Cookie’s last grandparent passed away- Grandmother, 88 years old. Cartpath requested prayers for his wife’s work as they await updates on a new job, and potentially a move as well. YHC gave a reminder for Tuesday coffeeteria at Starbucks.
Naked-Man Moleskin:
Closed with a prayers for a long and blessed life, a sense of purpose in times of change, and thanks for the men of F3.
