COUNT: 7
WARMUP:
Warmup stuff

THE THANG 1:
Sprint Drag Carry

THE THANG 2:
Capture the Sandbag
– Divide in two teams, unequally
– 2 sandbags set up at each sidewalk, field divided in half, equally
– There was some explanation about weight of sandbags = points, but the Q was still delirious from The Thang #1, so it didn’t make much sense.
– Goal was to grab a sandbag and take it back across mid-field.
– If a PAX is tagged on the other teams’ side of the field, he must go to the sidewalk and do two burpees.
– Teams may move sandbags back to their starting points
– 3 rounds were performed. “Team Duck-Related Name” won again, probably.
– Highlight reel :
– Shotgun was lassoed by the 80# bag
– DoorKicker (Jud) nearly KO’d anyone within range of the 40# bag
– Mountain Ice and FixerUpper attempted some pick and roll maneuvers. Frizzles was not impressed
– Backflow (Wesley Hunt) played solid defense
– Z-Pack’s team won each time, we think

If I Could Save Time in a Bottle
the First Thing That I’d Like to Do
Is to Save Every Day
‘Til Eternity Passes Away
Just to Spend Them With You

-Jim Croce, Time in a Bottle

Mr. Croce supposedly wrote this song after his wife shared with him that she was pregnant with their son. The lyrics are haunting when you realize he died in a place crash just a year later. After Shotgun’s COT about how we are spending our time, this song came to mind. Are we making the most of our time with our family and loved ones? Or, are we content to idly stand by while minutes pass that we can never get back. While we can’t capture time in a bottle, we should strive to exist in the moment and waste as few precious seconds as possible.
