Spring Soccer Season Kickoff

AO: Windjammer

When: 2025-02-05

QIC: IKEA

PAX (8): Caroline, Deep dish, Dipstick, IKEA, Irene, Milli Vanilli, Papercut, Sparkie

Preamble:

VQ day! I had to bring two of my favorite things: soccer and Latin rock. A perfect excuse to get the PAX moving while enjoying some great tunes in Spanish.

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey to the dam for a classic warm-up: Copperhead Squats, Imperial Walkers, Weed Pickers, Toy Soldiers, and Arm Circles, with a burpee between each. Because why not? Then, back to the parking lot for the main event.

The Thang:

This was a team effort. The board showed 360 total reps, planned for 12 PAX (30 reps each). With only 8 of us, the challenge was even bigger. But the goal wasn’t just to erase dots from the board—it was to push ourselves beyond our limits and take on a great challenge. And we did just that! 259 reps completed, raising our average from the expected 30 to an impressive 32.4 per PAX. Great work, team! The exercises included: Squats and Curls with coupons, Lunges, Big Boys, Merkins, Mike Tysons, Jump Rope, Flutters, SSH, Gas Pumpers, and of course, running with a soccer ball—because if it’s not soccer, it doesn’t count.

COT:

We took a moment to pray for Dipstick’s high school friend who passed away, as well as for all the intentions in our hearts.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

We started a minute late thanks to a “crazy driver” testing our reflexes in the parking lot. Some hidden soccer talents were revealed—maybe it’s time for an F3 match. Big thanks to Caroline for the coffee and to everyone for showing up for my VQ. Feels great to have survived it! See you in the gloom. Aye!
