The Uptowner 8/12/2022
Backblast disclaimer: Given the passage of time, YHC’s aging memory, and the Fracsac transgression, the events in this exercise represent my best recollection of what transpired and may not be entirely factual.
After disclaimer, we headed to the field to attempt to find a dry-ish spot for warmups consisting of:
Grass Grabbers
SSH
Hairy Rockettes
Toy Soldiers
Swan Dives
Catch-Me-If-You-Can was the first exercise. Separating into teams of 2, while PAX 2 ran backwards around the track, PAX 1 did 10 merkins then sprinted to catch up, then PAX 2 did the merkins while PAX 1 ran backwards. This cycle was repeated until we made it all the way around the track.
Next, we circled up for a roll of the dice. In a circle, PAX took turns rolling the 10 sided exercise die gifted to YHC on his birthday Q from Bolt. Exercises included burpees, merkins, LBCs, and others that I can no longer remember.
With 25 minutes left, it was time for Battle Frisburpee.
Team 1 – Rafiki, Smalls, Hand Grenada, and Fast Tax
Team 2 – PVC, Glamper, FracSac, and Bogey
While Team 2 prevailed (3-1), it was likely in large part to Fracsac’s blind-side tackling of YHC as YHC was about to score. It is likely that without the incorporation of tackling into the game, Team 1 would have triumphed…at least that is how my concussed brain recalls it…
Also noteworthy in the game was PVC’s use of passing the ball from one baller to another in order to tag more opposing players. While the move was clever and not specifically prohibited in the rules (yet), this use of the ball is still being reviewed by the Battle Frisburpee committee…a ruling is expected before the next game.
With game over, we headed to COT for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.
Thanks for the fellowship! SYITG
