As PAX arrived at Okwata it was revealed by Kuch that there had not been a Q on the sign up sheet for today. As he is prone to do, Kuch offered up me as the fill in Q. I have done this numerous times in the past and as I am prone to do I accepted. I have not Q’ed much at Okwata as I do find it challenging as the Q but I figured what the hell. Let’s do it.
Warm-up
Disclaimer was given and we took off towards the Mardi Gras fountain. While making the circle we did high knees, butt kicks, karaoke facing the levee, and karaoke facing the fountain. Circle up in the grass.

Tha Thang #1:
Mosey over to the House of Pain. Split into 4 groups for 4 stations of exercises (I went solo).
Station 1: Bernie Sanders up the hill, 5 burpees at the top, and run down (timer)
Station 2: squats
Station 3: dips
Station 4: pull ups
Rinse and repeat for 2 total rounds.
Tha Thang #2:
Stay in our groups for a change in the exercises but the set up is the same.
Station 1: bear crawl up the hill, 5 burpees at the top, and run down to the bottom (timer)
Station 2: Reverse lunges
Station 3: derkins
Station 4: leg raises while hanging on the pull up bar (thanks to Mahatma for the assist on this exercise as I drew a blank on what to do)
Tha Thang #3:
After a 20 sec rest break everyone grabbed some space on the posts for some People’s Chair. 3 rounds for 30 sec with 15 sec rest break in between. The silence during this portion of the beatdown was defeaning.
Tha Thang #4:
Time for some 11s. Burpees on one side on the levee, run up and over, and LBCs on the other. 10/1, 9/2, and so on.
Mosey back to the mythical flag where Mahatma led us in a round of 100s to cap off the day.
Count off, name-o-rama, announcement, intentions, and COT. Once again it was a pleasure to lead a beatdown even when pushed to do it on the fly at what can be a very challenging AO.
