Midriff introduced us to the hidden tunnel to access the boulders. I unfortunately selected a boulder that is better described as a pebble. I will run this back.
Ran around Upper and Lower and stopped for lunges every 1/4 mile.
Ran up the Wells Deck for HIIT round at the top.
“In Cadence” counting was pretty good today if I do say so myself…don’t send me the video.

Friday Foggy Field – UFO 225

Date: 2025-02-07 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: MARTA PAX: MARTA, Steve Hall, Shank, Slumdog, Crawdad, Fruity Pebbles, Pipes, Spikeball, Spyglass, sweeney_todd, Yeti, Victoria, Chubbs, Smokey, Mayo, David Baker, Pfeffer, biden. pressed ham, pink eye, cool runnings FNGs: None COUNT: 21 Humid morning did not dissuade the UFO crowd. A full 21 or 23 pax, resulted in three subs for yellow and two for pink. Once the lights were on, it was clear… the teams were uneven.. yellow held the age and perhaps athleticism disadvantage by a long margin. Estimates on the field had an average age of 35+ for yellow, while, pink had to be sub 30.
The match started off rough for yellow and pink pressed their advantage to an easy 5-1 lead… it looked like an ensuing blood bath. Old guys clawed their way back to make it 6-6 and unlocked the code. Short passes and wise decisions paved the way for yellow to take a commanding lead over pink that led to 12-8 score that eventually grew. On field coaching by Fresh meat and a score of close range handlers ground down pink into oblivion. Key match up between pipes and yeti led to back and forth scores. Pink had the speed, but it was negated by the lack of space on the field. Yellow utilized their short range handles, shanks’ ability, and the extra rest to control the game. Chirping ensued as pink called weak fouls to get back in the game. Joust PAX circled the field longing for a chance to play . maybe next week, For a team with two commissioners, pink’s leadership was lacking and chemistry was absent. Yellow wins 17 to 12, and to be honest it didn’t feel that close toward the end.
Differences were forgotten over fellowship and coffee in the parking lot.
Yellow (1s) – Old Guys – 17? Fresh Meat (a spry 57?) Marta (a slow 37) Shank (Bday boy- 29) Slum Dog (a slippery 42) Fruity Pebbles (distance runner 37) Crawdad (Ragin Cajun 34) Pressed Ham (??) Pipes (hidden speed 30?) Cool Runnings (Over 40) Spikeball (disc golf pro 37) Biden (our token young guy)

God is good. Always. The Joust pax were loquacious as usual with some OG’s kottering their way back to the pax. Well…really just one – Bananas. He thinks he might make F3 a habit again…on Friday’s. Hadn’t seen Daisy in forever, good to see you brother. Puddin’ is savoring Liverpool’s brilliant run this campaign…and the tacos last night that are an integral part of his paleo diet. Baracus is praying he doesn’t get sick prior to his daughter’s wedding next weekend. Geraldo shit himself during the poker game. Limey may have, too, though I’m not sure #educatedguess Focker said it was good to see me in the gloom…thanks young fella. Just glad to be sittin’ up and takin’ nourishment. Aren’t we all?! Though intimidated by his sleeveless shirt, it was good partnering with Whip on the partner stuff…and he rightly shamed me for the false HC last week. #cobains Jet Fuel updated at some point that we were on pace to come in under yesterday’s Hydra mileage…I should hope so! Hopper hasn’t taken his Ohio State shirt off since the Natty. Ductwork made time for Joust despite being in the midst of planning his Christmas trip…he also ran in/out. t-claps. Don’t really remember what we did outside of the weird math F3 poker card thing. 17 = 4 +13/17 + 10 each leg, but not at the same time. Also, got a glimpse of the new Christian turf brought to us by Hendrick or Kevin Harvick or Jeff Gordon. Rubbin’s racin’, men. Lastly, CALL SOMEONE you haven’t seen/heard from in a while. He hasn’t heard from you, either. Tell him you wanted to check in and ask him: “How are you doing?” (pause). Then ask him: “How are you REALLY doing?” Aye?!

Special bonus of 10 burpees for every car that drove by (final count something like 6 cars) :car: MARY: Took turns calling exercises and Pilgrim took us a bit over time with a multi-layered series of exercises we were not expecting ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT: YHC took us out
