Would you rather do this workout or anything else?

WARMUP: Some light Murderhorn with called exercises.
THE THANG: A very loose concept based around a ChatGPT suggested “Would you rather” workout. It wasn’t good so no there’s no reason to put it in the F3 archives but we managed to run 2+ miles and lift some rocks.
MARY: Sprinkled throughout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: It was great seeing the OG Maul Squad join us. Let’s keep this momentum into the warm weather next week! Sorry about the take out, not my finest.
And I forgot to take a picture so I generated one with AI instead. Let me know which one you are.

Standing room only
Date: 2024-02-18 AO: soccer Q: Orange Whip PAX: Mile High, jrr_tolkien, Scratch and Win, BobbyFischer, Moondance, Renato Zamudio, Orange Whip, Level10, National Treasure, Matt McCoy, f3-simba, Phil Britto, Kellen, Koko, Nick, Adam, Crystal, FNGs: None COUNT: 17-20?? Big group yesterday. I know I missed a few guys on this. We had about 9v9 I believe. Please comment on who I missed.
Awesome morning and I thought we would be very light with the 31 degree starting temp.
Super fun and close – much better than the past two weeks. Mile High and I made sure to be on opposite teams because we didn’t want one team to be too “stacked”. And it worked!
Kellen and National Treasure were putting on defensive clinics for their respective teams and had several highlight plays.
Adam made a nice own goal header and followed it up with a normal goal within 10 seconds :clap:
Will (Simba) has grown before our eyes and can no longer be treated like a kid – since he’s bigger than 75% of the guys out there – and fast as hell. He’s gonna be great – as long as he doesn’t learn from Josh and completely stop passing.
Renado continued his quiet natured goal sniping from 20 yards out and had a nice match.
Koko came back out and built some confidence with the game winning 5-4 goal. I went to give him a fist bump at one point and he ducked as if I were punching him. He’s green so maybe he can learn from Simba’s ascension and become a man.
Level 10 looks healthier and had a strong defensive match.
Bobby Fisher was facilitating and talking the entire match keeping us on point.
Phil was throwing shoulders (in a good way) and played physical, a la Tolkien, which is my favorite kind of futbol.
Moondance did his thing and played the beautiful game the right way with precision passes and cheeky comments, and a few body shots to back off his defender.
Nicks footwork was incredible the entire match. Some really impressive moves.
Missed many regulars today but numbers have been strong :muscle: .
Heal up to you fellow 40+’s who are prob hurting like I am today. 6+ miles in the books.
Love the hustle from the entire group!
See you boys in a week.
