Coffee and Donuts

Date: 2025-02-28 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: MARTA PAX: Fruity Pebbles, Mayo, Shank, Yeti, Paris, David Baker, Steve Hall, Spyglass, Crawdad, Smokey, MARTA, Wu Tang is for the children, Biden, Pinkeye FNGs: None COUNT: 14 Another day of excellent ultimate frisbee. So excellent that Joust spent half their time watching for the press box pretending to workout and chatting about the latest fashion on the Real Housewives of Atlanta (@Limey and Hops) or so I would assume.
It started off slow as sleepy joe Biden forgot the pinnies at home and was late. Once the lights were on, Spyglass (the beloved commish something not said for his predecessor) assigned teams for parity after last week’s beatdown. I haven’t searched the Exicon for the proper term to describe an @$$ whooping – to be determined.
It started off rough for the better team (yellow), who went down 4-1 to pink. Score was quickly leveled at 6-6, with yellow motivated by Fruity Pebbles’ chirping that yellow’s catches were “lucky”. In truth, 3 of their first 4 scores were from yellow mis reading the disc or falling on their rears. The world righted itself and yellow maintained a 2 score lead most of the way. Friday Spy was back making plays on the defense when his 2 inch vert wasn’t required. Welcome back Wu Tang is for the children and Paris to the fold after a winter break one of which had a decent excuse for winning. Crawdad was reliable as ever in the endzone, while @pinkeye might need to find some stickum next week. also, thankful that @smokey didn’t tear pull a hammy and tear the elder stateman’s ( Steve Hall) ACL sliding into his knee.
The most encouraging note of the morning that MARTA’s dirty play is spreading. At least 2 PAX knocked the disc out of the thrower’s hand for no reason – glad my leadership is taking hold. Also, has anyone noticed that Yeti ‘s on a losing streak.
Coffee club brought the PAX together and was expanded by Steve Hall who brought the donuts. Great fellowship followed a completive game.

MARY: 7 bulldogs 21 old school sit-ups Some number of Slow Freddie Mercury Plank
ANNOUNCEMENTS: (see Marta)
COT: Well, ye old rainbow spreadsheet called for the ever loved TGUs. 20 of them, no less. Well, we did less. 20 is too many, even for a fan, so we dropped that to 10, which is plenty for a mobility movement. Pax were encouraged to use light or no weight and focus on form.
Benevolent Joe gave the Q the option of choice for the cardio session on this deload week, so we went with goblets, merkins, and snatches. It seemed to have been about right, hard but doable.
The burpees and sprints made everyone’s head spin. Is this even allowed?? Is that really High Tide calling this, or some kind of AI hologram? It was I. Sprints are a muscle builder but we couldn’t precede them with squats (first choice) since we’d just done squats. Burpees are good for nothing except boosting the heart rate, so they got the call. A third round might have been fine, but we quite while we were ahead with two rounds.
Post-workout coffeteria with the Anvil pax, sponsored by Marta, was a welcome end to the workout.
Thanks for playing along, men. Aye
