sparta Rock, Paper, Scissors – You’re doing it wrong

Date: 2024-05-24
AO: sparta
Q: Pop Fly
PAX: Rambler, Blue Steel, Re-Du, Ashe, Peanuts, Dunder, Mounthe, Crop Duster, Hoolihan, K-Pop, Megatron, NOAA, Lightyear FNGs: None
COUNT: 14
WARMUP: It was a traditional warm up. Peanuts was on time and fired up.

THE THANG: Competition!
Game 1: 3 teams.
– The team had to complete the following exercises – cumulatively – in order to win. – One person is always running
– 25 Burpees, 50 Hand-Release Merkins, 75 Heaven to Hells (with block), 100 BBS (with block). – Winning team calls the exercise.

Game 2: 3 Teams – Bear Crawl Coupon Drag Race
– Pax line up on the goal line in The Plank
– 1st pax bear crawls with coupon to 10 yard line
– Once there, 2nd pax bear crawls to the 10, grabs the coupon and drags it to the 20 yard line. – All non bear crawling pax are holding the plank
– Next pax bear crawls to the 20, grabs coupon and drags it to the 30 yard line
– This leap frog continues until the coupon and all pax cross the opposite goal line
– Pax cannot start bear crawling until the pax with the coupon reaches the appropriate yard line

Admittedly, a few pax (all on one team) had trouble with this last bullet. It could have been the Explainer. But with the other 2 teams (65% of the PAX) not doing it wrong , we all agreed it was either (a) the Listener, or (b) a slightly overly-competitive desire to win

Game 3: Murder Bunny and Lunge Walk Race
– same as above, just substitute murder bunny for bear crawl dragging the coupon / and substitute lunge walking for bear crawling

Game 4: Murder Bunny Race to the 50 yd line. K-Pop won. Megatron came in 2nd. The rest of us gave up.

Game 5: 7 rounds of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Winner called the exercise. Turns that that some are much better than others at this game.

MARY: Calf raises with the block.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mounthe’s wife is crushing her cancer treatment. She’s in our thoughts – Bone-a-thon
– Murph
– Convergence (1 June)
– Dad’s Camp (10-12 June)
– Farewell (17 June) at Rambler’s House

COT: Boredom and malaise can set in. You get bored. You become apathetic. You don’t care. You get in a rut. The darkness can set it. This happens/happened to me. What do you do? How do you pull yourself out of it? Can you keep grinding? Maybe. Everyone has this in them. Everyone handles it differently. Reach out. Say hi. Smile. It means more than you think.
