Weather was a tossup so we did Sparkler Burpees (deceivingly difficult after two or three rounds) and some rock work until 6, when we left the Pavalon’s friendly confines for a prayer mosey – sounds weird but it was a highlight for me – and just one little backwards trip up Cardiac.

10 Sparklers when we got back to the Pavalon, then a sprint up Eaby everest to finish things off.

Prayed for various friends and situations, including a certain surgery happening today.

WARMUP:cbs music. 5 motivators. Lap around lot

THE THANG:

Each HIM drew a team and a seed. Divided up into 4 pods and headed to sub regional
Each HIM could reduce the burpees of each pod by naming either the nickname, Coach or player from his school
Spoiler: NCAA trivia is NOT the Pax’ bailiwick

Seeds 13-16. Denver
Scale the Rocky Mountain (baby Everest) and run down Route 66 to the next pod to bump the next group

Seeds 9-12. Providence. Like the Cloud, Providence is cold, smelly, weird. And can’t grow real grass
AMRAP of big bois, step ups, and flutters until bumped to

Seeds 5-8. Milwaukee..after running arm in arm like Laverne and Shirley to the PAV…the Pax picked a wheel of cheese (coupon) for an AMRAP of curls, table rows and derkins before being bumped to

Seeds 1-4. Lexington. The nicest region. Just like highly trained thoroughbreds we worked on legs with lunges and squats

MARY: Final Four. Trivia contest. First semi the low seed upset the top Seeds

Second semi- the 9-12 Seeds also pulled the upset

Final game- the winning trivia answer was blurted out by Sawdust….so our national champion is….the Texas Longhorns??? What in the name of Matthew McConnaughy is that??

ANNOUNCEMENTS: i might need a bracket intervention

COT:John 17: 14-16

Speak truth. With grace
