Ultimate Ultimate
Date: 2026-03-06 AO: Ultimate Q: Spyglass , PAX: MARTA, Spyglass, Yeti, Wu Tang is for the children, David Baker, Shank, Fruity Pebbles, Chandelier, Crawdad, Victoria, betty, peaches, aoli, wario, bully stick, pinkeye, biden, FNGs: None COUNT: 18 3.6.26 Backblast: Pregame: Healthy numbers and blissful weather. Smokey showed up at 5:15 with zero intentions of playing frisbee. Took a 15 minute detour on the way to the gym (rehabbing a shoulder/knee) simply to look fellow PAX in the eye and tell them to have a day. Smokey’s livin right, no doubt about it. As lights turned on, it illuminated Bulleystick appearing to do the pregame routine of Ray Lewis. We woke up ready to grind…no excuses…except for the shoulder boo boo of course, but that’s neither here nor there.
The Game: Teams were absolutely stacked this morning in favor of red, calling into question the integrity of Vicky’s “1-2-1-2” count off (mind you with no stretching involved). He had no shame, even “re-counting off” when he initially didn’t think teams were stacked enough to his liking. Red came out doing their job, up 7-1 before a Bullystick-Peaches trade was made in a panic move by yellow to keep their fanbase engaged. After various threats of fines for any sort of tanking noticed, yellow started to giddy-up and show some signs of life. At one point, the lead was a mere 3 points. Marta has strong hands, I learned, but it’s a bit of an AJ Brown situation where he was clearly disgruntled with not getting the disc on a few wide-open runs. The two are likely to part ways this offseason. Crawdad through a laser tuddy. Wario & Betty connected on an impressive one handed tuddy. Shank reminded everyone that he’s still HIM be throwing a season long 60 yard tud. Bully was picked and yellow was called for targeting on the play. Red proved to be too much for yellow to handle down the stretch, getting lead back up around 6 for the remainder of the game. The only thing keeping PAX engaged late was the Peaches – Bulley matchup of who was going to win the post-trade game within the game and get the coveted W in the spreadsheet. Red hustled it out to secure it for ole Peaches.
Postgame: Prayers for Vicky’s brother in law who is serving in the Middle East right now, and his family who was sent back to the states. Prayers for Betty’s friend who is grappling with her faith right now. Update on Brainiac – started putting weight on the leg again for the first time in a few months. Update from Slumdog – also in good spirits and already planning a fall “comeback player of the year” run.
Fellowship Friday next week at Stacks. Details to come later today on our Saturday morning pop-up friz tourney on March 21st! Notable analytics: Pink Eye snaps a 4 game winning streak. Everyone but Biden on red was coming off a loss. Biden now at an impressive 4 game streak. Wario on a 3 game skid after starting the year 7-0. Yeti still leading the league at 9 wins with a few chasers (Crawdad & Spy) at 8. Yellow: 18 Spyglass Shank Betty Vicky Peaches Fly Aoili Wario
Red: 11 yeti Bullystick Crawdad Chandilier Marta Pink Eye Fruity Wutand Biden

It was quite the adventure, and an experiential reminder that PAX need to do a better job checking the called route before posting on Thursday AM (or maybe the Q needs to do a better job staying with the pack to lead them through unfamiliar territory? I dunno…).
At the end of the day everyone made it back to launch (mostly) intact and only one aquatic mammal was harmed in the making of this backblast.

THE GREEN MILE (Saturday before St Paddy’s)
Attention runners, ruckers and even bikers …
Are you looking for an opportunity to put some easy miles in with your brothers? Maybe you need a training run for an upcoming race? Perhaps you just need a long-distance Saturday run/ruck or ride?
FREE- no cost…. No shirts… No frills…. Just a stupid time
Several PAX are interested in running the Little Sugar Creek Greenway on St. Patty’s Saturday and want you to join us for The Green Mile.
This is an out and back sticking to mainly Sugar Creek Greenway paths. You can go as far out as you want. 5k to 50k….the initial group is committing to a 25k out to Johnston YMCA in NODA and back- 3025 N Davidson St in Charlotte.
There are several PAX dropping clown cars at the YMCA to carpool back any runners only wanting the 25k
SOB’s chicken run and Waxhaw’s Paper Trail will converge together on Sat March 14th at the Sugar Creek Greenway. Launch will be from Best Western hotel in Pineville.
9825 Leitner Dr, Pineville NC 28134. Park along the main road, or inside the hotel lot.
Official launch time at 6am. Wear your favorite green St.Pattys attire. Bring hydration pack and all needed nutrition. Water, bananas, misc snacks will be provided at the launch location and at the 25k mark, but no water stations along the way. Headlamps/reflective gear suggested.
The route has been pre-planned and is not a straight shot. There are several turns where PAX can get turned around. I will attempt to be ahead of the group and add chalk marks at turns, however, please stick with at least one running partner. The best directions are to download the route for guidance. Call me anytime along the route if needed – (810)459-9450
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/333750801
Grab a running partner, and let’s do a really stupid and utterly pointless run together.
(Update – it looks like the Greenway is open all the way to Noda once you pass Freedom Park. Stick with the Greenway path as long as it’s open)
Is a head boat what I think it is?
Date: 2026-03-04 AO: WAMRAP Q: poptart , PAX: rachel, Orange Whip, Ironsides, poptart FNGs: COUNT: 4 Off to the parking deck for some hand release merkins, can openers, jump squats and dragonflies as we ascended to the top.

We started with 10 and got to at least 25 with a couple getting to 30.
Rachel finally received his man card for his blacked out trx. No more women driving Subarus named Sam asking for his number. Ironside needs to upgrade on black Jeep to receive his card.
