delphi Enlightened the Exicon

WARMUP: SSH, Willy Mayes Haze, arm circles, Cherry pickers, WGS

THE THANG:
Round 1: The PAX split into two groups and each had a 12-side die with exercises written on them. Starting with 1, the PAX would roll the die and do 1 exercise of what ever was rolled. Next round was 2, 3, and so on. If an exercise was rolled again, the PAX did it again. The goal was to be the first group to do all of the exercises. Team 1 had a hot hand at the dice game and finished in 12 rolls. YHC now recognizes that despite testing of the stickers (removal of which signifies the exercise was previously rolled) for 10 minutes in my living room, I had not considered that getting them wet would make them impossible to remove.

Round 2: The first set of dodecahedron die were placed back in the bag and two new ones were pulled out that didn’t have any noticeable exercises labeled on them. To find the exercise, the PAX had to take the “Orb” to the 50 yard line and shine a light through – the Oracle of Delphi made them see the light! With this new insight they were to run back to the team, tell them the exercise and then run to the other team and join in what they were doing. Once the orb was passed, the process repeated and the PAX would do the new exercise until it was updated. For this, one orb had coupon exercises, the other had body weight exercises, PAX starting with the later began at the opposite end of the field. YHC realizes that 0530 is not the time for enlightenment with a light-up orb. This led to lots of initial confusion and uncertainty, but I believe everyone figured it out by the end.

Round 3: Wall sit for 2x coupon pass down and back (3 minutes?), and that was plenty.

MARY: During the beatdown.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dolly Sods and Sunrise Ruck. Also 10-23-2025 (<—My Birthday!!) is a F3 Bros and Beers event. Finally, The Grunt! is Sat. NOV 08.

COT: The new Delphi shirts came in so some of the inspiration around the logo design were discussed. Also mentioned was YHC’s post on “What F3 Means to Me” on the 3rdF channel, and all were encouraged to consider donating to the Accelerate campaign.
