We had PAX doing all sorts of things starting as early as 0500. (4) 2.0s and a V-frisbee post by Sandman. 20 PAX in total. Fun was had by all I think. Some PAX might have reached 200 merkins today.

BACKBLAST – 3/2/24 – Ultimate start to March @The Hub
24 PAX came out to Wheeler for a warmish Sat morning of ultimate; including 2 FNGs, Vulcan and Buckets. We had 4 (I think) ruckers lapping the track and heckling The Mick as he was attempting to rake in a touchdown grab.

Great turnout for what turned out to be a really rainy morning. T-Claps to Gruenwald on making his first post at The Hub. We might not have the reputation of Troy but hope you got a good challenge out of today’s beatdown ; )
Also, T-Claps to the 2.0s that posted – Krusty and HH. I was definitely not spending my Christmas break working out at 0530 when I was their age. Way to do the harder thing boys!
Turned out to be a pretty good full body beatdown. The sequence of merkins in the first set of exercises was pretty brutal. Those narrow stance squats also generate a surprisingly good burn. The 12-1 Motivators was exactly what we all knew it would be. T-Claps to the PAX that were able to burn through that entire set without modifying.
Prayers for continued recovery of several PAX, family members, and friends. Also, prayed that we might continue to be receptive to being used by God to make a positive difference in the world.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead.
Until Next Time,
Bozo

Not a terribly hard beatdown, but hopefully fun for all. Glad to see 5 preruckers getting in some extra work. Also, nice to see the regular vest guys strapping it up for some extra gainz.
I will take responsibility for the pax that didn’t understand what to do during the thang. I’ll make sure everyone is listening next time. I think the solution is to do 20 burpees to get people winded so they listen while they catch their breaths. That should stop the mumble chatter.
Glad to see a Ginger Billy drive by this morning! Was also nice to get a little visit from Han Solo at Dunkin. Cannot wait until he starts coming back regularly on Saturdays.
If you have donations for the homeless kids, make sure to get them to Class Act by the 13th. Also, come out to Wreaths Across America if you can make it next Saturday. Honestly will be less than an hour. There is a nice 10 minute ceremony at the beginning so you are looking at 30 minutes of paying respect to those that have given their lives for our freedom.
Continued prayers to all those injured and going through a difficult time. Thanks for coming out today and playing bags with me.
SYITG,
HHH
BACKBLAST: 12/02/23 Ultimate @ Col. Wheeler
27 PAX partook in physical activity on the turf or track. The turf was nice IMO. Considering we are in December, the weather was great! Glad to see Lights Out out and about testing out/working out the ankle. Welcome Sparkles!! Always love seeing LaLoyd and Ginger Billy! See most of you tonight. For those with other engagements, you will be missed.
