We started at 8:02. If you are a parent you understand why.

Discussed the mission of F3 for our friend Lumberg who joined us for the first time in a decade (did F3 in South Carolina years ago).

Pledged our allegiance to 2.0 Manchester who wore the colors of the flag since the Q (fourseam) and YHC didn’t have one. Kids got a kick out of it, apologies to the school teachers on Tuesday if the trend takes off.

Rapidly departed to a side parking lot for boys vs girls relay races. Boys took 1st in sprints and backward running.

Returned to the basketball court for wheel of pain driven family feud style 11’s. Read on for the instructions then you try and successfully explain it to children. Best of luck.

2 teams (boys vs girls) all stand outside of the basketball court in a line.

One participant from each team enters the center of the court, one person spins the wheel of pain.

On the other side of the court opposite of the teams there is a football and basketball

Whatever it lands on ALL participants do the exercise but whoever finishes first between the two people inside the court races to a ball and must complete a successful pass to their team. Whoever does this first gets a point.

Directions took a long time, needed tweaking but we had fun. Girls ended up winning 11-10. Wheel of pain seems to prefer certain workouts. Overrides took place.

We finished with a quick mosy, then COT, snacks and a kids bop dance party much to the irritation of the woman who parked in between all of our cars.

Great to get out with the kids and have some fun. MIAGD

23 total F3 Dad’s and their 2.0s enjoyed a lovely first taste of fall weather and extended the no injury streak at South Cary’s most dangerous AO to 2.

The activities kicked off with the pledge of allegiance followed by a full speed mosey to the warm up spot. Good mornings, merkins, squats, side straddle hops, and lunges got everyone ready for the fun to come.

A mosey to the basketball court was followed by several balloon themed relay races and a couple animal relay races.

After that it was off to the baseball field for jump the creek and cross the ocean.

The Dad’s and 2.0s returned to the flag and welcomed two FNGs.

This morning’s animal-themed workout started with a review of the 3 F’s, then Armstrong led us in the pledge, then Spirit led us in a full speed warmup lap around the parking lot. Warmups consisted of various animal poses led by Spirit and a few called by fellow PAX.

We ran to another parking lot to do a variety of animal-themed relay races. The boys won 2 races, the girls won 1 race, and the dads won 1. The dads will need to train for next time.

Then we played kids vs dads capture the flag it was fun at first but didn’t end well….

SCary’s most dangerous AO claimed another victim and this time it was YHC…after a swift and heroic move capturing the flag, my getaway was foiled as I promptly slipped on the concrete and scraped up both my knees and dislocated my finger.

Special thanks to Jigglypuff and Sbarro for stepping in to help finish the last few minutes as YHC was bloody and somewhat disabled.

We finished with animal crackers (of course) and Gatorade. YHC was a bit disillusioned and forgot I had a whole carafe of coffee in the truck. Maybe I’ll save it for next month, LOL
