Cape Fear Welcome

Date: 2024-07-19 AO: kevlar Q: poptart PAX: Orange Whip, O’Tannenbaum, Scratch and Win, Buddy the Elf FNGs: None COUNT: 5 We got started late as we were caught up in the story of OT’s travels. After the warm up we got about 100 hand release merkins followed by some stairs, ab and leg work. Then we moved on to hills followed by some rock work. Welcome Buddy the Elf from the Cape Fear region. We enjoyed listening to his story of flying in a prop plane as the pilot flew without his hands. Good news is prop planes are lighter, and can fly with only one engine. Not sure how that makes things better.

Maul Disc Golf, Third Installment

Date: 2024-07-17 AO: the-maul Q: picasso PAX: Hippie, Smash FNGs: None COUNT: 3 It was time for the third installment for the somewhat-annual disc golf at the Maul.
Warmup Everyone grabbed a disc and threw it in an opposite direction, which then served as points for a few rounds of mosey and called exercises.
Main Event We had two disc golf holes. One person runs ahead and places the hole anywhere in the AO, while the others hold plank. Once the hole is placed, pop up from plank and sprint to the hole, then turn around and start throwing back to the original hole. Count your strokes, five merkins after each throw, mosey to your disc for the next throw. Winner of each hole assigns an exercise to the losers.
We played 4-5 holes, then took a Mary break.
We finished with a Horse-style game.
Good times and a bit of a workout. Thanks to Hippie and Smash for joining and throwing some heat!

Here’s the deal, today was difficult. GOOD! The only way to get stronger – physically, mentally and spiritually is through repeated difficulty. Accomplishment is forged in the fires of perseverance. Keep grinding.
