Pickle ball anyone

Date: 2025-09-05 AO: _sob Q: frasier PAX: bunker, C3P0, wingman, soft_pretzel, midriff, Melons FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Disclaimer, merkins, squats THE THANG: Ran to Wells parking deck. Partner up for three rounds of deck work. Partner one runs the deck up while partner two takes the stairs to the top then runs down to meet partner one. Do ten merkins go back the way you came to the rendezvous point and do 10 squats. Bonus round was flip-flop and partner two runs the deck while partner one takes the stairs for one round.
Onto the next set of fun. Jog down to lower bowl road and did a modified triple nickel with doing three rounds with 10 marks at the top and 10 squats at the bottom.
Then the fun really began. We jogged up to the Pickleball courts on top of the parking deck. Broke up into teams, stated the rules and the consequences if you lose. All games were to three with rally scoring. Loser had to do wind sprints, and the winner did a champions jog around the deck.
Melons went undefeated with several different teammates. The rest of us were not as lucky. MARY: ANNOUNCEMENTS: sign up for terror trails. Get out there and start recruiting men. Everyone needs it just not everyone knows it. COT:

Old guys Vs

Date: 2025-09-05 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: MARTA PAX: Yeti, Crawdad, smokey, Victoria, Steve Hall, Chandelier, Mr Brady, MARTA, biden, peaches, aoli, Pink eye, Tebow, bullystick, dora FNGs: None COUNT: 14 The PaX began arriving early with several including pink eye shocked us by arriving well before the 515 start time. Nonetheless the count started around 522 and immediately fresh complained that the all old guys, pointing at me(marta) Smokey, and himself, should not be on the same team. I was a little confused since I’ve been excluded from WoMu but still considerd an old guy i may have to boycott the Fresbys for this offense, but I digress.
The chatter was high today with constant barbs and even an enforced pick call by @bullystick.. south meck must have just had an assembly on fair play and equity or some jazz. It was a wiley battle between Vicky and Aoli.. clearly trying to muscle for the title of Top Crossfit Athlete that also plays ultimate. @yeti was limited as MARTA boxes him out on one, a few d’s, and nearly a handbook- where bully quiped he was playing like fresh.. whatever that means. Chandileir and Dora were meances in the endzone. Heck even bullystick skied barber for a score.. at one point, MARTA collided with pink eye while nearly stealing the disc for another fast break. @tebow chirped up that you would expect such dirty play from a GT fan… which is truly rich considering UGAs shining star DT just spat in Daks face on national tv… can a uga player be both dumb and stupid? Regardless, the atmosphere is setting up for some side wagers to be made next Friday before the gt/Clemson game.
With that write up you’d think Yellow won the game… and I’m afraid the game was only close for the first 8 pts. Yellow and red were locked at 4 a piece and Yeti and barber took control and never looked back. Nothing spectacular but the shear athleticism, youth and willpower of yeti, barber, aoli, and biden wore yellow down.. the steady hands of pink eye, Tebow, and Smokey made few mistakes. Red went up something like 10 to 6.. in the end it was kinda respectable 14 to 11 or 10.. with red winning.
Yellow- 1s or losers Marta Fresh Bully Chandilier Peaches Dora Brady Vicky Bullystick
Red – 2s or winners Aoli Smokey Tebow Crawdad Biden Barber Pinkeye Yeti

Buzz Worthy

Date: 2025-09-04 AO: peak-51 Q: Spammer PAX: Spammer, slim_fast, gullah, sledge, lois, beaver, Mounds FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Travel to the end of the parking for for 20xSSH, 20xIW, 10xGood Morning Nashville THE THANG: Card Game The rules: Each Pax draws a card. If you pull A-5 => 5 reps, 6-10 => 10 reps, J,Q,K => 15 reps. One called exercise per round, repeat with new card until all the cards have been gone through. Round 1: Merkins Round 2: Wall Dips Round 3: Sit ups Round 4: Squats
Pax were given a trivia question to start the workout and a successful answer to the question would change all the reps to 5 for the remainder of the workout if the group got the answer right. One group guess / round.
The Question was: What is the name of the Charlotte Hornets head coach’s Wi-Fi network? Clues were given between each round to help the Pax get there. 1. It’s three words. 2. If you know anything about the coach, you are 1/3 the way there. 3. It’s Buzz-Worthy. 4. It’s a pun.
What do you think the answer is?
MARY: Finished off our time with OYO LBCs ANNOUNCEMENTS: I guess there is a running thing this weekend in the NC mountains so only 1 spartan was present. Gazette COT: Spammer
