More 2.0s than Dads gathered at UrbanSouth Brewery for the annual Christmas beatdown and fest. Quick disclaimer and we were off up Market St. Some ambitious 2.0s had to be full-stopped before racing across Religious St. in the dark. A few motorists were surprised by the pack the of seemingly feral children that were leading a group of wheezing middle aged men, winding through the dark streets between the warehouses.

We arrived at Annunciation Square and circled up. Quick 20 SSH in cadence to warm us up. Then the began the days, using the 2.0s as coupons where possible. YHC lucked out with a 2.0 under 25lbs. For PAX without a 2.0, they borrowed from others with several to spare. Modifications were offered if 2.0s were uncooperative.

  1. Partridge in a Pear Tree – squat thrust 2.0 up to the shoulder; or a burpee
  2. V-Ups
  3. Lords/ladies leaping (2.0s hop over dads in plank)  or Russian Twists
  4. Flutter Kicks 
  5. Dizzy Bears
  6. Dying roaches
  7. Plank Jacks
  8. Freddy Mercurys
  9. Measly Merkins
  10. Baby crunches
  11. Crabs a crawling
  12. Burpees or a (12) Partridge in a Pear Tree. 

The PAX then went to COT and the naming(!) Lots of creativity and individual expression from the 2.0s. Then a mosey back to Urban South to a feast, a bounce house, sweaty & dirty children, and excellent fellowship. Much good food, but shout out to #bones for the smoked boudin he served up.
