What do a shanked punt, a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors and a strange first date screening process all have in common…?
Football season may still be a ways away from drawing humans from all walks to Champions Square, but a pigskin and the spirit of competition drew travelers from 3 visiting tribes as well as rookies and veterans alike to the shadow of the Superdome. Maybe it was the impromptu punt, pass and kick competition that got the tribe excited…or maybe it was the way your pivotal choice of rock, paper or scissors dictated the flow of the game – uh, workout – but the humidity stood no chance at stopping the faithful this morning!
118 fearless souls chose to #justshowup this morning instead of hitting that lame snooze button. They were primed and ready to beat the heat, but Louis’ masterful play calling had them calling for time in record fashion. A sprint, 5 burpees and then a test of wits: lose and you start all over but the winner lives to play on. Jumping jacks and then another game of chance. Win enough and you might just make it to the famed Gleason Statue where to the victor does the squat jumps.
Starting to think I forgot about that whole first date thing? Nonsense… All Jack has to say is, “If she thinks it’s weird, there’s probably not going to be a second date.”
All the sweaty, happy, exhausted humans who showed up this morning knew the answer right off the bat. If you haven’t put together my riddle by now…c’mon man! But if you’re still curious, #justshowup on Friday and ask us all about it.
