Introduction

For special occasions I like to create a fun Q so I figured this would be a good one to celebrate my birthday and give PAX a bit of a break with IPC tomorrow.

The Thang

Thang 1: Water pong

Team 1: Afib, Bjorn, Snart, Drago

Team 2: Moonlight, Cousin Eddie, Sun Devil, Townie

Pax were divided into two teams each team had 6 cups at their end of the table with water filled half way in each cup.  The goal is to get rid of all your cups by throwing a ping pong ball in each cup. Pax lined up on the side of the table socially distanced and completed exercises when it wasn’t their turn.  If pax drained their shot they did not have to run.  If they missed they ran a lap around the pavilion.

Exercise round 1 – SSH, Round 2 – Squats

Team two wins both rounds. 

Thang 2: Flip cup.

Same teams, each team has 1 cup.  First pax on each team goes to their end of the table to flip the cup over until it stays standing up flipped over.  Every missed flip pax must do 1 burpee.  Pax that are waiting are doing exercises while other pax flips the cup.  Despite Afibs best efforts to let team 1 win, team two still won both rounds.  I think he did about 40 burpees 🙂

Exercises were – SSH, Big boy situps, Squats

Since team 1 was down on their luck I let them pick the final game and they chose water pong.  This round we added the heater rule. If the other team gets all their cups before your team select 1 person from your team to shoot until they miss.  Team 2 sank all their cups first so team 1 selected Townie to try to even the score.  This was a good choice because as usual he was calm and collected under pressure and sank all the cups they had left.  This brought the game into a 3 cup overtime.  Team two had their back against the wall when team 1 drained each ball before team two could get one.  Bjorn was the only one back from his run and he sank all 3 to bring it to another overtime.  This was a nail biter but Snart sank the last cup for team 2 and they ended up winning the round.

Circle of Trust

Motivation – at first coming here I was motivated by the guys that were faster than me. I was competitive and I wanted to keep up. Now as I look around I get more motivation and excitement from watching the FNGs. Because some of them get their ass whooped every day and they keep coming back. And before you know it they’re down 20lbs. That’s incredible to me! I guess in the end, my motivations through F3 have changed,  I feel that is the same in life. My motivations have changed significantly from 30 to 36. Some things that mattered to me then are insignificant now. I guess as we age our life changes, we just have to figure out what motivates us keep up.

I had a great time today and I hope all the PAX that came did as well.  Thanks for coming out I appreciate it!
