Mosey to football field – earned the fun/pain game

Ultimate Frisburpee (in honor of Almost – not sure why I went on the opposite team knowing he is awesome)
PAX divide into two teams of 4, play sideline to sideline
Light up Frisbee (lots of PAX blaming said frisbee for bad throws…)
PAX "kick off" and other team throws to each other down the field, PAX who catches becomes thrower and stops
Each drop or turnover, PAX drop and do Burpees
1st Turnover – 5 Burpees
2nd – 4 burpees
3rd – 3, 4th – 2 and 5th – 1
repeat again once, then freeplay without burpee penalty until score, then burpee penalty comes back

Final score 5-2, (winners – Almost, Tinder, Grylls, Jungle Love/losers – YHC, Garfield, Woody, Tebow) We are contesting the final results and are claiming moral victory along with an honorary national championship, just because. Trophies will be handed out in the parking lot of the QT at the end of Sixes road at 4 AM tomorrow, all winners are encouraged to show for the presentation behind the building

COT:

Garfield shared about how he and his wife have walked through a troubling experience with a misdiagnosis of their young 2.0. Learning to walk through it with gratefulness and joy, not anger and blame. #HIM
Grylls and Tebow are experiencing having the 2.0s go with their mom on vacation without them for the first time. Hard to process, but holding heads up as best they can. Well done, again, so many HIMs among our group.
Woody shared about Elvis' M going into surgery
YHC shared about mom, going through heavy depression with suicidal tendencies.

Naked Man Moleskin:

It's spring break, so glad we could have fun, while still burning more calories than I ever have in a beatdown that lasted 45 min. Proof of this as steam was rising from our heads at the flag.
Not sure PAX were too excited when we began, as the exercises kept being added. Surprisingly, most PAX did not like Merkins right before CDDs. It was delightful.
YHC bought a light up frisbee and have been itching to use it at Paragon. Just had to make it F3 worthy, thankfully, F3 PAX in other regions already have. Overall, we did 120 burpees during the game.

Tinder had clutch catches and plays dirty. Think he is taking PEDs.
Almost came as advertised and peacocked around the field, toying with PAX.
Tebow never did the kneel down after scoring for some reason, thought he loved that.
Grylls tried to pantz Garfield oddly enough, like 10 times.
Woody was an allstar, especially on the shorter routes.
YHC needs to learn to watch the freaking curve of the frisbee when catching.
Jungle Love was everywhere and made a highlight catch (several actually).
Garfield kept meowing at everyone during the game, getting into their heads he said.

Also, during coffeeteria, Garfield revealed that he was Teen Georgia in Body Building back in 2003, or 04, or 05. At some point, he was that dude. Trying to find pics.

Glad we could have fun today, good reminder not to take things too seriously. Though, maybe not as much fun as Swisher had trying to kill Woody last week.
