Choosing Your Own Adventure at WestSide

Nice brisk morning at WestSide. YHC met Patch at 4:40 for an EC ruck. Got close to 5:30 and Patch mentioned to YHC that he thought we would have a low attendance as it seems the first cold weather of the year makes that fartsack even warmer. YHC knew Fruity Pebbles and Cheesehead would show and soon, they pulled into the lot. Thought is would be the 4 of us but some WestSide vets rolled in hot; Cold Cut, Cousin IT and Rafiki.

WARM UP
SSH X 11IC
Good Mornings x 11 IC
Imperial Walkers x 11 IC

The Thang
YHC instructed the PAX that the workout would be a continuation of Stabler’s very own WestSide “Choose Your Own Adventure” beatdown. Rules were the same as last time but new chapters were added. Since Patch was present for the last reading but did not get to choose a chapter, YHC selected him to pick the first chapter…

The “Pain” Ground
Partner Up. Partner A will perform hanging knee raises AMRAP while Partner B runs around shovel flag. Partners flapjack. Then Partner A performs step-ups AMRAP while Partner B runs around shovel flag. Partners flapjack

Patch selected Cheesehead to choose the next chapter… The Neighborhood
Partner up at edge of church driveway leading into the neighborhood. Partner A runs to first street light while Partner B begins BOMBS. Partners flapjack until all the following are complete;
50 Burpees
100 Overhead Claps
150 Merkins
150 Big Boy Situps
150 Squats

Cheesehead then selected Cold Cut who chose… The Back Parking Lot
Run down 10 parking spaces and back and do 5x Catalina Wine Mixers
8 spaces, back, 4x Catalina Wine Mixers
Continue on to 2 spaces / 1x Mixer

Cold Cut then called upon our WestSide site Q for the last chapter of the morning. Fruity Pebbles went with… The Side Parking Lot
Lunge the first half of the length of the parking lot. Lt. Dan the remaining length of the parking lot.
Walk Like an Egyptian back to other end. YHC was excited about finding this one in the bag of tricks and it would’ve worked well until Cold Cut stopped following directions and got way ahead of the rest of the PAX. Don’t let the man fool ya, he is actually quite fast when he wants to be. Due to Cold Cut, well being Cold Cut… penalty sprint to the other end of the parking lot, mosey back to the flag. On the mosey back a speed bump captured poor Patch.

2min left so two quick rounds of Mary. Rafiki led us with flutter kicks and IT led us with leg climbers

Moleskin
Was really pleased that the PAX chose all “dry” chapters this morning as those back fields would’ve been a little damp this morning. The “Choose Your Own Adventure” theme has worked out well and gets a lot of the 2nd F going. YHC is going to keep it going when he gets the opportunity to Q out there. Thanks to Fruity Pebbles for the opportunity to lead! Until next time…

Stabler Out!
