    Overall Rules:
    – 2 teams
    – Everyone got a die and rolled for themselves
    – Everyone starts in Home and needs to roll a 6 to get out.
    – Once rolled they can then start rolling themselves around the board.
    – First team to get all members all the way around and into the safe zone wins.
    – If you land on an opponent while they are at a spot, you bump them back to Home where they have to do 5 manmakers and then try to roll a 6 to get back out again
    – Have to roll exact to get into home. If not, repeat exercises

    Version 1: Rolls = Exercise

    4: 10 Lt. Dans
    5: 10 HR Merkins
    6: run around board 1 time

    Version 2: Cone Colors = Exercises. It doesn't matter what they role, if they land on a color, they do that exercise

    Hot Potato: Pair up. Face each other. On your bums and lock ankles. Starting man grabs a paver or sandbag, tosses it over the head of his partner, then stays at 45 degrees. Partner catches the weight, falling to his back, touches the ground over his head with the weight , then performs a sit-up motion, tossing the weight back. Starting man performs the sit-up. Hot potato – get rid of that weight! / Perform for 90 seconds or as long as the Q has gas.

    Big ups to Rudy for Q-assist on cadence. My mushy brain not tracking this morning.

    A Dirty Dozen HIMs did Hard Things leading a dawn assault on The Hill at the Rabbit Hole. Beatdown on the theme of D-Day with a timeline recounting the events of what was arguably the most consequential day of the 20th century. No other day came close to the scale, audacity, heroics, and sacrifice of that day. We will remember them and are forever grateful for their example. May we live in honor of their great deeds.

    Doubtfire 5 Year Anniversary Beatdown was celebrated with the symbolic element of Wood. All apparatus used for this beatdown were constructed with wood.
    Log pass, stilts race, bowling pins of wood, 4×4’s used with Cindy’s to create another coupon, and more. Teams were formed 18 v 18 and six different competitions were had.

    The playlist was Yacht Rock, courtesy of Gepetto and the first beatdown I ever attended at The Fortress five years earlier.

    Warmup: Discussing The Thang!
    The Thang: Gullyball is played with balloons attached to the PAX. There are no burpee’s and you are out when your balloon is popped. To get back in the game, run to the bag and blow up another balloon (very easy when winded). To add to the fun the sports ball of choice weighed 6 pounds, the perfect weight for your world travels, and was well received by the PAX. After a couple scores we switched back to classic Swampball.

    Maybe next time I can figure out a way to include water balloons.
