Goofballs, ic, 20

Mountain Man Poopers, ic, 10

5 T-bone burpees

Thang 1

1/2 mile sand race.

We divided into two teams. Each team carried 2 coupons and 2 60# sand bags. The team of 3 got an additional 120# sand bag. The team of 4 got the 100# medicine ball and an extra coupon.

The three man team won, handily.

Thang 2

Sandbag throws.

The three man team had 1 60# bag and the two man team had 2 60# bags. Each team had to move their sandbag 20 yds and bag via sand bag throws, while the other PAX completed blockees. Each sandbag had to go down and back 3 times. The winning team had the largest number of total team blockees.

The four man team won, 201 to 221.

Thang 3

Sandbag dodgeball.

4 60# bags and 1 120# bag were moved to the skate park. The team with the sandbags had to bring them across the skatepark, summiting 2 skatepark features on the way. The other team chucked tennis balls at them. 3 mucho leggos were needed to earn a tennis ball. If hit, the traversing PAX dropped their weight, did three burpees and returned (w/o weight), back to the start line before they could move weight again. When the team of 3 was throwing, it only cost 2 mucho leggos per tennis ball.

The four man team won, but I don’t think we evened the playing field sufficiently.

Moleskin

For my next 5 moleskins I plan to go over Fr. Richard Rohr’s 5 promises of male initiations:

Life is hard.

You are not that important.

Your life is not about you.

You are not in control.

You are going to die.
