PAX: 3 mile, Jenner, Lazlo, Legacy, Poe, Sparky, Old Bay, 2.0 Wiffle FNGs: None
COUNT: 9

WARMUP: 0530 box jumps at hamilton, the official warmup AO of softballs
THE THANG: Monday night double-header under the lights. Fielding only 9, the good guys dropped both games despite the Pax working to get better every inning. We struggled in a few key areas, primarily offense as well as defense.
MARY: Highlights included 2.0 Wiffle providing an offensive spark, Poe flashing leather at 3rd, Legacy with a web gem at first, and Lazlo refusing to flinch at two rocket line drives that threatened to rearrange his face. ANNOUNCEMENTS: No game next Monday night for Memorial Day
COT: Every rep is a chance to get better, and when you’re 0-season, it’s really just you vs. you out there.

COUNT: 13
Fairweather pushed his farewell/bachelor beatdown to the last possible moment – this is his last week in NoVA before going to biz skewl at Dook and getting married in July. 12 PAX joined to send him off and give him words of varying wisdom.

WARMUP: SSH, WMH, down dog, world’s greatest stretch

THE THANG:
PART 1 (citrus): PAX took turns as the timer, while leaving the rest of the PAX with 2 alternating exercises to perform and a number of reps equal to the number of years he has been married (or a made up number if not married). The timer had a 10# and 20# slamball – he threw one slamball, then lunge walked to it while carrying the other, all the way to the 50. Or the 30. Or the 25. And we still ran out of time, despite only getting through about half the PAX as timer.

PART 2 (Traveler): The Q led the PAX through a series of exercises to spell out F-A-I-R-W-T-R (also ran out of time). In between each exercise, the PAX alternated Bobby Hurleys and partner merkins.

MARY: flutter kicks

ANNOUNCEMENTS: boneathon, murph, convergence, dad’s camp

COT: The PAX shared lessons learned about marriage during the beatdown. IYKYK.
