COUNT: 8
WARMUP:
The April Fool’s prank was to immediately start bear crawling down the road to the paver lot, simulating the beginning of 45 minutes of bear crawling. Turns out this was not a great gag and we returned for some motivators, rockettes, and froggy squats.

THE THANG:
Grouped up and sent a few pax down to opposite end of the parking lot, a few stayed and the third group started the bump. Timer was set to repeat a 5 minute intervals and we did an exercise at one end, mode of transport to the other end, and another exercise at the other end. We did 7 sets of this.
1. Curl/press, jog, Lt Dan
2. Swings, rifle carry, in & outs
3. Raise & shrug, broad jump, imperial squat walkers
4. Thrusters, bear crawl, flutter kicks
5. Lawn mowers, jog, ?
6. Blockies, jog, plank
7. American Hammer, murder bunnies, burpees

COT:
When you get hurt, insulted, etc., probably an opportunity to try to understand where the other person is coming from and what got them to that point.

FNGs: None
COUNT: 12
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
