It was a beautiful morning in the Capital gloom, and 11 PAX posted at The Patriot for some ultimate fun!  Here’s how it went down.

WU: YHC was a minute late, and launched into the 5 burpee late penalty alongside Jenner and 2.0 RedCard, thus missing the WU exercises. It looked to be SSH, IW and a couple other exercises. Thanks to the PAX who dutifully began at 0530 sharp!

The Thang: Somewhat typical F3TheCapital Ultimate Frisbee! All PAX drop for a burpee any time the frisbee hits the deck. Each score results in some shared beatdown. Our normal routine includes 100 x LBC after each score. Today, we shook it up a bit.

1st score: Ol’trusty – 100 x LBC
2nd score: 50 x BWS
3rd score: With DRPAX Kool-Aid recovering from shoulder surgery, he removed himself from the mayhem of the Ultimate game and decided to run some 400m repeats. The PAX decided to join him after the 3rd score for a lap.
4th score: back to ol’trusty – 100 x LBC
5th score: there’s a rhythm to this – 50 x LBC
6th score, which came at the 0613 time mark, another fellowship lap with DRPAX Kool-Aid to finish up.

It seemed like we did a lot more burpees than normal, and didn’t have as many scores. It goes to show that F3TheCapital Ultimate Frisbee will catch up to you one way or the other! Total running amounted to about 3.5 miles for YHC. Plus or minus a bit for each of the PAX. Great time had by all!

No time for Mary.

COT: One of F3’s principles is that it’s open to all men. And it’s important to gather together to spend time with a group that becomes like an extended family. It’s also great to have 2.0s out to share in the fellowship. We gather to compete, and push ourselves hard to score, sometimes sacrificing our bodies (e.g., Jenner, TwoPercent…), and we love winning. It’s not about beating each other down, but instead lifting each other up and sharing in the joy of being outside with fellow PAX. Go out and share the joy, and lift up those around you to make the world a little bit better.

Aye!
