2024 Tour de Lightmere is in the books. Record 44 pax showed for this year’s premier SCary event despite the 28 degree temperatures. In the gloom glow ropes were passed out on the cookie table, brief safety instructions and then we were off.

First stop in a cul de sac was all about warmups featuring stealth burpees and the required Scary stretch. Waved goodbye to the house and then safely crossed Lochmere drive to run to Windy Rush Lane. Gathering like the Hoos ’round the leaf pile we held for the six, did a few more exercises culminating in Monkey Humpers in front of @hgtv’s house. Then on to Candy Cane house where the traffic suddenly picked up.

Down to the dock where the featured exercise was @kirkland leading us in 100s, a stroll down Lochmere drive, Earkins, Dirkins, Dips…cross the road, through the disc golf course culminating in the crazy house. The back to the flag for COT. Around this time @Kitty Litter pointed out that mileage topped 2.0 miles — a bit more than expected, but the pax made it through.

Robust COT with 10 FNGs. Six took names and four wisely remained anonymous so that they can’t be tracked by the government spies among us. The fires felt mighty nice.

Thanks to @Shipyard and @ Water Wings for fire duties and to all who helped make this a lot of fun for all. Ten FNGs at YHC’s workout means that with multiplier effects, means that @Fruit Loop has rocketed into first place for the 2024 Scaryiest Man contest. I humbly accept the honor. Who knew that Tour de Lightmere was the sleeper event to achieve a massive victory from behind?

SCary’s most problematic AO is back, and this time with record numbers! The dads jumped out to an early 4-1 lead, supported by the finesse of FNG dad VO5 (The Super’s BIL) who put up an early hat trick. The kids came back with a vengeance, tying up the match and then it was a close match the rest of the way. Sherpa’s 2.0 Hat Trick reminded us of our superb footwork and scoring abilities.
VO5’s 2.0 Rocket showed us his rocket of a foot. Grisham was full of energy and played most of the time with a 2.0 on his shoulders…taking rucking to a new level. Future F3 leader and kid veteran Four-Seam made some incredible saves in goal. Sbarro was a stonewall as usual. Water Wings and YHC showed off some fancy header “skills”. The Super found the back of the net in his SCary Dads soccer debut. Well Done saved our butts on defense more than once. Little FNG Yoshi showed no fear. George family 2.X’s Seadoo and Snorkel kept the kids’ offense moving. Kiffin wore his fancy glasses. The Mayflower girls might be on their way to playing for Barcelona. Somehow we ended up with 2 FIFA’s. Amazingly, no injuries. Happy Birthday to FIFA (Well Done’s 2.0), The Super, and Mayflower. Great time today! Looking forward to the next one.

Competition was fierce at the soccer field today. A shortened field and more players meant more traffic and more goals than last week. We played the entire game as Kids vs. Dads, and the dads quickly realized they needed to actually bring their A-game if they were going to keep up. The dads jumped out to an early 4-2 lead but the kids eventually caught up and it was neck and neck the rest of the way. Some shirts may have come off during celebrations. In the end, the kids prevailed yet again by a score of 10-9 with a last-minute game-winner by Snorkel. The dads clearly need to get better. Maybe next time!

YHC did his best to keep order and the kids warm while we traveled around the paths at Ritter park. My son also brought a whistle.. you can imagine how that went.

We did 6’s (6 squats) and 10’s (10 jumping jacks) at the baseball field bases, obstacle course work and ran to the tunnel to squat jump and touch the beams above and finished off with some old fashioned merkins weighed down by the 2.0’s.

COT included Gatorade and checking out Francois ride.

Welcome to 3 new FNG’s of the Wings clan and prayers to family members that are struggling with health, traveling for the betterment of our nation and others around the world, and those unspoken prayers.
