Warm-Up (aka: Get Your Head Right)
Moseyed to the football field—YHC might have challenged a moving vehicle to a game of “chicken” in the parking lot. (We survived. Sidewalk = safety zone.)

Warm-O-Rama:
• Side Straddle Hops – 15 IC
• Imperial Walkers – 15 IC
• Merkins – 20 IC
• Toy Soldiers – 10 IC
• Copperhead Squats – 10 IC
• Weed Pickers – OYO
• Michael Phelps – OYO

Wastewater decided to ditch the group, steal the speaker, and go serenade the PAX over at the Woodshed. F3 Idol, anyone?

The Thang: Catch Me If You Can Series
Partner up. One PAX works, one PAX moves. Flip-flop until one lap around the field is done. Always wait in the air chair for the six because we’re men, not quitters.

Round 1:
• 5 Burpees
• Partner runs backwards (a.k.a. Bernie Sanders)

Round 2:
• 10 Merkins
• Partner broad jumps

Round 3:
• 15 Squats
• Partner bear crawls

Round 4:
• 20 Walking Lunges (10 each leg)
• Partner crab walks

Note: Round 4 proved crab-walking is nature’s way of saying “go slower.” Had to cut it halfway. Adjust and move on. Adapt and overcome.

⸻

Phase Two: Stairway to Suck – Amphitheater Beatdown
Each level = 1 rep increase. 9 levels. 4 exercises. Do the math, then do the work.
• Burpees
• Merkins
• Squats
• Lunges (each leg)

Total if completed: 45 of each
Nightwing crushed souls and stairs—made it to the top level and did everything but the burpees. Stud.

Back to the Flag: Mosey. No Mary. No complaints. We came to suffer.

⸻

Extra Credit Roster:
• Mall Cop & Big Papi: Pre-run AND post-BD mile.
• Green Mile & Wastewater: Some mysterious pre-BD activity. Probably dark magic or extra credit pain.
• Geek Squad, Jack Bauer, Maaco: Walked the track, healing like warriors in recovery.
• Sooorie: No-show = no coffee from Green Mile’s majestic mitts. Sad.

⸻

COT (Circle of Trust):
• Name-o-Rama
• Announcements:
• May Merkin Madness Challenge
• Boston Butt Sales
• Some sort of wheelchair pushin’ event (because F3 ain’t just about muscle—it’s about mission)
• Prayer Requests:
• Canoe’s M and Jar Jar post-surgery
• YHC’s 2.0 Addy with soccer troubles
• YHC’s boss Will—recovering from a skull fracture (read that again and appreciate your health)
• Likely forgot someone… Honor them by pushing harder next time.

Coffeteria: Yes. As it should be. Brotherhood brews better with caffeine.
