Strength in Numbers… and Bears

6 PAX met at 0440 for EC Ruck and was able to log 2.6 miles. Yesterday, YHC put a call to action out on the social media outlets to have PAX who have never visited Westside or those that have not been there in a while to post. Was hoping for 15-20 PAX and when we got back to the flag, was happy to see all the PAX… totaling 16 including on FNG, welcome Chris Lineberger, now known as “Skinny Jeans.” Disclaimer given and we were off…

YHC told the PAX that if they posted at WestSide during a Stable Q, they could count on the Choose Your Own Adventure of the WestsideStory. YHC informed the PAX of the available chapters (locations) available today for the beatdown and then called on Cousin IT to choose the first chapter and he chose, The Building…

At the corner of the building, YHC told the PAX we would be doing “Dicey” 4 Corners. At each corner, YHC would call on a PAX to choose an exercise of their choice. They would then roll the famous Stabler Bellagio Dice and whatever number was rolled, it would be a multiplier of 10 for that given exercise;

Corner 1: Jackpot (40) Merkins

Corner 2: Grapevine (60) WWIIs

Corner 3: AquaMan (20) 4-count Hallelujahs

Corner 4: Soft Shell (40) 4-count crab cakes

For the next chapter, YHC called on a Westside 1^st timer, QuickShot, and he chose… The PainGround…

At the PainGround, PAX would partner up. Partner A would run the length of the parking lot and back while partner B would AMRAP an exercise. Partners would flapjack and then do this 4 times with 4 different exercises; Swerkins, Dips, Step-ups and Pull-ups

For the next chapter, YHC called on another Westside 1^st timer, Breezy and he chose… The Soccer Field… HORRIBLE choice Breezy ;)

At the soccer field, YHC introduced the PAX to Bearway to Heaven. PAX started on one goal line and would bearcrawl to the ¼ mark of the field and back and then perform 1 burpee. Bearcrawl to midfield and back and perform 2 burpees. Bearcrawl ¾ of the field and back and perform 3 burpees. Then last, bearcrawl the entire length of the field and back and perform 4 burpees. This was an absolute snotwoggler… a few bearcrawled the entire way and a few finished the entire thing. Lots of mumblechatter on this one about how bad this chapter was but as YHC said in the beginning… don’t blame the author, blame the one who chose the chapter… THANKS BREEZY! Back to the flag at 0615 for COT
