“Ultimate [insert-item-here]” – Da Parish
I mean, he does deserve the quote spot with his 29+ Groupme messages that day….I guess that’s what happens when we change it up with some Ultimate Frisbee for a beatdown. In fact, you would’ve thought the convergence was today with the 27 Pax posting. Anyway, with cones, flags, and frisbee (Tclaps Roots for bringing one!) in hand, we were off….but first….DISCLAIMER
The Thang
Mosey over to the Festival Grounds so YHC could set up the 50 yd x 90 yd field (roughly) while the Pax split up into two teams, one with flags and one without….then each team to a separate endzone for some Ultimate Frisbee. Rules are simple:
- Teams advance the frisbee by throwing/catching the frisbee to reach the other teams endzone for a point.
- Thrower (guy with frisbee) cannot move.
- Defense on Thrower – 3 yd safe zone.
- Penalties:
- Turnovers (frisbee hits the ground or intercepted) – turnover team does 2 reps of exercise before playing defense
- Scores – defense does 5 reps of exercise while scoring team runs to their endzone for kickoff
We played two (25 min) halfs, with a Plank Hold Water Break in between.
- Penalty Exercises:
- 1st Half – Burpees
- 2nd Half – Merkins
By the end of it, the score ended up 10-9 (closer that the Warriors vs Cavs series so far), no one was injured, and we ended up doing 70 – 90 Burpees, 70 – 90 Merkins, ran over 3 miles, and found out how much fun it was to be a kid again! Also found out that Bubba should tryout for the Ultimate Frisbee Olympic Team….is that a thing?? It should be!
Mosey back over to the parking lot near the flag…noticed a quarter of the Pax was missing. What happened? Were they still playing Ultimate? Did they get lost? Turns out they were getting in some strength training by pushing a car out of the mud #GRT.
The Pax regrouped for the single COT of the day:
COP #1: 3MOM
15x Crunchy Frogs IC
15x Hello Dolly IC
Back to the flag for the COT, where we held the Countoff, Nameorama, Shoutouts and Prayer. Thanks for bringing your competitive edge this gloom…We will do it again!
