Shorty asked if anyone could cover his Q this week at Okwata, as he would be out of town. YHC quickly answered the call and stepped up. Late Wednesday, YHC issued a subliminal call to other Pax through Group Me, but who would answer the call?
YHC arrived at least 4 minutes early, planted the shovel flag and waited for the determined to arrive. Surge was attempting to make Rudy aware of the classic movie “Little Big Man” but Rudy denied having any knowledge of it. YHC took a mental note, maybe this classic will get added to a future beatdown. As the clock turned to 0530, YHC called out the disclaimer, as the remaining few Pax filtered in.
The thang
Mosey to the fountain, made a reverse circle around it, and ended on the patch of freshly cut grass just in front of it for:
Warm up
SSH IC x 31…..there’s something about that number
Imperial Squat Walker IC x 15….nice and slow to get that deep squat!
Abe Vigodas IC x 10
StartEx #1
Jack Webb Double Shots at the Bar…an Okwata favorite!
Line up along the railing of the fountain.
One merkin followed by two air presses (double shot) in the peoples chair position at the barre.
Two merkins….four shots..
Three merkins….six shots…
You get the idea….
Ten merkins…..twenty shots. Hold the peoples chair until all Pax completed.
YHC had a great Okwata partner beatdown in mind, but an odd number of Pax called for the back up plan. Since 11 is an odd number, and we have an odd number of Pax…..
StartEx #2
Mosey to the levee near the HOP for 11’s.
Start with 10 burpees on the freshly cut grass of the Okwata side, run up and over the levee, and do 1 Jump Squat on the other side.
As we crossed the levee, we discovered the lawn crew was perhaps unaware of the existence of land on the south side of the levee.
The Pax finished with 1 burpee and 10 Jump Squats, and ended back on the evenly mowed grass.
With being so close to the HOP, let’s take advantage of it!
StartEx #3
Three stations, three Pax in each station
Station one – Catalina Wine Mixers x 15 (Timer)
Station two – Pull ups (AMRAP)
Station three – Step Ups (AMRAP)
After an exhausting evolution, YHC called for a rinse and repeat!
Mosey back to the flag for a few minutes of Mary!
All IC
WW II Situps x 15
Flutter Kicks x 15
Hello Dolly x 15
Freddie Mercury x 15
COT
Count off, Name-O-Rama, announcements, intentions, and closed it out with a prayer to the Sky Q.
8 determined Pax answered the call and joined YHC in the gloom of Okwata. Even Terabyte made the trek all the way from the outskirts of the world, a place some refer to as the “River Ridge.” If you are reading this and you did not post at Lafitte’s Plunge or Okwata, then perhaps your Thursday morning was not as meaningful as it could have been. But don’t fret, tomorrow is a new day with a new gloom, and next Thursday will be here before you know it. Will you answer the call?
Thanks to the 8 Pax for answering the call and posting with me today. SYITG!
