Tag: Hands

and the national champion is….

AO: asylum-am
Q: Matlock (Bill Maddox)
PAX: Sawdust, Tropicana, Hands, Cat Gut (Mike Davis), Farley, P3, Backflow (Wesley Hunt), Rainbow, Snitch (Cory Beilharz ), Love’s, Double Wide
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

Matlock (Bill Maddox) was kind enough to share the Q this morning as he and Gene Steratore bought Dick Vitale’s breakfast at Denny’s this morning in preparation for next week’s Bracket Q. Don’t get caught not knowing what Lipscpmb’s mascot is!

Great having Unibráu (Nick Robinson)and the legendary Abacus back out with us.

7 Motivators, some stretching, and we moseyed. We’re all bulletproof until 2035, thank you junk science, and then halfway through getting our shoulders blasted, our buddy Bob led us in some paper/rock/scissors. Bob’s a real one.

My goal was to channel my inner Double Wide and do some sprinting but all too soon I realized it’s Cinco (Scott McGuire) who is uncatchable and P3 who you can’t even see, he runs so far ahead. We have some impressive sprinters among us.

We wandered over to the cloud and your Q’s personal policy is to do whatever Cat Gut (Mike Davis) says. So we went all the way to the Dark Webb. It’s a long journey. I actually thought the Dark Webb would make even Hot Tub (John Muller) be out of breath but I heard him talking about hot tubs, which makes me think we need to have a Q where we can only mumblechatter about what we’re named after.

Some Pavalon work and back to the AO for the Friday main event (cashing out of course) and we were all ready for the weekend.

WARMUP: SSH and tempo squats and merkins and Grady corn and TN rocking chair with a mosey

THE THANG:
After getting over the disappointment of not having a Love’s Q we settled into the normal complaining.

Pickleball steps with merkins and dry docks and bear crawls down the steps. 3 rounds of fun

Turf baseball field for burps at each base and home plate with step ups and dips. 3 rounds of fun

Soccer field for shoulder taps and froggy squats on either side. 3 rounds of fun Soccer field

Junk science of sprinting 2x across the field. Adds years to your life. It’s science and can’t be denied.

MARY: mixed in after each station

ANNOUNCEMENTS: happy birthday Hands. Haw Ridge and Spring Break

COT: if you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together.

COT: Q. Shared the focus of lent should be on adding in to your prayer life in preparation for Easter rather than just giving things up..a brief history of Fat Tuesday was then reviewed and the story about Pluto’s mom calling Fat Tuesday Fat Hugh’s Day when Hugh was overweight… on that note Pluto shared a King Cake with the Pax to start the day fully on theme!

1. Phase II:
– We attempted to play a game of HORSE by having the PAX do an exercise while one person took a shot. If the shot was made, the shooter had to do a burpee. If he missed, the whole PAX had to do a :burpee:. F3 Pluto ( Hugh Nystrom) was overjoyed with the amount of :burpee: that were done by all.

COT: Be a chain breaker! One of the men I know in my small group shared some of his life story. His family and the area he grew up in was impoverished and contained some bad environs. He joined the Air Force out of high school and got out of the bad situation and has seen the blessings of following the Lord. Reviewed Isaiah 58:1-12.
