Total # of PAX: 7

QIC: Kiffin

INTRO:

YHC was a bit interested in how my first hour long beatdown at newer location would go.  Would I fill the hour?  Would I be searching for more exercises?  At that point the Gazelles started to roll in.  Cricket… Quagmire… Drumstick… Now thinking that maybe the beatdown would not be up to Gazelle standards. Oh, Nomad and Garf, of course.  Can’t say Gazelle and not think of Garf.  Let’s Mosey!

WARM-O-RAMA:

Extended mosey up to the basketball courts.  (Nothing harder in F3 than the extended mosey)

SSH (PAX seemed to notice that the Q was out of breath)

Weed Pickers

Imperial Walkers

Sun Gods (OYO)

THE THANG:

While we are at the courts, let start with Wilt Chamberlain.  This consisted of run to opposite end of the court and back then 100 (because Wilt scored 100 points in a single game) LBC’s.  Run again with 100 Squats followed by 100 Flutter Kicks (Kodiak Count) and 100 Lunges (Kodiak count) after each run.  When we were down to the lunges an FNG showed up talking about some guy named Waylon.  The first FNG of Dupree joined in.  Let’s use the mosey back to the field as our breather.

Next up is The Cooper.  This is a run around the track with descending exercises.  These exercises were 10 Burpees, 10 Squats and 10 Merkins.  Our track is a good bit longer than 1/4 of a mile, so we did exercises every half a lap with the count of each exercise reduced by 1 each stop.  With so many gazelles and now an FNG, in an attempt to keep the PAX together, we made the run an Indian Run.  After 1 complete lap HIM Garf hung back with the six.  We added Up Downs with 4×4’s, Mary’s, and Bat Wings to the exercise stops to allow the 6 to catch up/get ahead.  At some points Drumstick and Nomad hung with the six to give Garf a break.  Give credit to the six, he did not give up.  As time started to get away from us we stopped The Cooper while down to 5 of each exercise.

Next up was Whamo Lung Walks.  The PAX noticed there was a Frisbee early on and feared they were in for another C4 led exercise, but not today.  We lined up and one PAX threw the Frisbee and everyone ran until the Frisbee hit the ground.  At that point the PAX Lunge Walked the rest of the way to the Frisbee.  Not the best Frisbee and a couple lame throwing attempts made it interesting.  We also modified halfway to include three Squats after every 3 Lunges.

Now for a little fun.  All of the PAX entered the boundary of the penalty box of the soccer field for When Animals Attack.  The PAX at one side and the “attacker” at the other.  Everyone Bear Crawls and the attacker has to tag a PAX.  Then that PAX is it and restart.  After a couple rounds we added to the attacker team.  It all quickly ended when Cricket joined the attackers and tagged everyone and game over.

Still time for one more before Mary’s.  Suicides across the two soccer fields with 10 Merkins at each turn.

Finally Mary’s that consisted of V Ups, LBC’s, Crunchy Frogs, Crab Cakes, and BBS…. time

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Everyone was drenched and tired but good sharing.

First, welcome Vamonos!  Husband and father of five.  Loves Jesus. He works in construction/remodeling.  Said he does not do the real labor, but can speak Spanish.

Prayers for Nomad and his potential move to Utah.  Prayers for Cricket’s mom.  Prayers for Vamonos’ brother who is struggling with addiction.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Love watching the gazelles kill it today.  There were a few comments about the choice of 80’s rock music for the entire beatdown.  That choice did bring out a story about Garf, truth or dare, hot girl, and bumping teeth, so count it as a win.
