This was my first time to Q on back-to-back days. I was talking with Kilo yesterday morning who figured I’d do the same WO I did at the LOCO, but that he’d REALLY like to get out of the parking lot at The Tank. So, I decided to come up with a completely new WO that didn’t use the parking lot other than COP. I actually ran my idea by Kilo yesterday afternoon & he said, “I like it, sounds good man,” but it was later revealed during the WO he thought it was a terrible idea.
Conditions: A clear 76 degrees with 92% humidity
Gear: Blue Nike Dri-Fit shirt, Grey Nike shorts, Right/White striped USA socks w/ stars, Navy Buff w/ Red/White/Blue design, & Grey Reeboks
PAX:
- Aerobie (R)
- Cutlass (VP)
- Snow Day
- Nice & Slow (VP)
- Eastwood
- Geppetto (VP)
- Sadie(VP)
- Huggies (VP)
- Meatball
- Backdraft (VP)
- Crash
- Worm
- Kilo
- Nino (QIC) (VP)
I kicked things off giving the disclaimer & we circled up in the parking lot for COP.
COP
- (20) Windshield Wipers IC
- (20) Grass Grabbers IC
- (20) Imperial Walkers IC
- (20) Time Warps IC
With the heart rates up we moseyed over behind the right field fence of the baseball field closest to the parking lot & each PAX grabbed (2) Mini-Coupons. We then moseyed w/ the Mini-Coupons down the trail to the hill between the two baseball fields.
THANG 1 – Hillside 11’s
Bottom of the hill:
- Merkin-Position Row: 10 reps
- run to the top of the hill with 1 Mini-Coupon
Top of the hill:
- Mini-Coupon Squat: 1 rep
- run to the bottom of the hill with 1 Mini-Coupon
We continued this, going 9 & 2, 8 & 3, etc. until completition. As PAX completed the thang they held plank or did LBCs until all PAX were done. We picked up our Mini-Coupons & moseyed back up to the baseball field by the parking lot. The PAX lined up along the 3rd base line & I explained what we were going to be doing.
I read CI’s BB from The Mutt a couple weeks ago where he incorpated a baseball theme, but it seemed a lot of the PAX struggled to make contact when swinging the stick. To avoid a similar fate I helped them out by making this dice:
The lead off PAX rolled the dice, relayed the correlating exercise with the role, & all the PAX completed. Upon completion of the exercise the PAX at bat then ran whatever was assigned on the roll & then rejoined the PAX at the end of the line-up. The PAX on deck then moved up to the plate & had a turn, we went through the line-up twice. The assigned exercise & running for each side are listed below.

- ALL PAX: 10 Mountain Climbers
- PAX at bat: 10 Mountain Climbers & runs to 1st

STRIKE OUT

After going through the 14 PAX line-up twice we returned the Mini-Coupons to their place behind the right field fence & circled up for some Mary work on the right field grass.
