A Familiar Loop at Urban Assault
QIC: Turnover
Date: 10.22.21
PAX: Spicoli , Weasley (WB) , Lamb Chop , Drip , Post Hole , Root Canal (WD) , Turnover (Q)
In preparation for the Bourbon Chase, YHC had been running most Fridays, so with the BC in the rear-view mirror, I was pumped to get back out to Urban Assault for the first time in a long time.
A great AO with plenty of real estate to explore and ample opportunity to bring the pain. Let’s check it out.
First things first: BREAKING NEWS – @Spicoli arrived to the beatdown BEFORE the strike of 0530. Truly a Herculean feat. Well done, my man.
Warm-0-Rama
The Usual Suspects with some quality stretching mixed in
The THANG
Mosey from launch to the corner of 4th and Vine
Backwards mosey up the hill to the courtyard in front of WFU
15 box jumps and 15 Mike Tysons
Recovery mosey down to bottom of hill, 5 burpees
Backwards mosey back up to the courtyard
10 box jumps / 10 Mike Tysons
Recovery mosey to bottom, 10 burpees
Backwards mosey back up to courtyard
5 Box Jumps / 5 Mike Tysons
No time to mosey back down the hill, we got things to do. 15 Burpees!
Mosey further up Vine street. Stop for a quick 20 Merkins
A little more moseying (?), another quick stop for 20 LBCs
Mosey to corner of Vine and 5th, stop for 20 jump squats
Mosey up to the train tracks behind Inmar
Assume plank position on tracks
Plank…R Arm High…Plank…L Arm High…Plank…10 Merkins
Shift 3 steps to the Right. R Arm High…Plank…L Arm High…Plank…10 Merkins
Shift 3 steps back to the Left. R Arm High…Plank…L Arm High…Plank…10 Merkins
Mosey down path to the long bridge over 4th Street
Before accessing the bridge, a toll must be paid: 20 Merkins, 20 LBCs, 20 Squats
Now all we have to do is traverse the bridge. Mode of Transportation: Crab Walks
Let the record show that everyone loved these and YHC was the fastest. These are facts.
After what felt like an eternity (because of me….I took forever), everyone got to the other side of the bridge
Circle up for Wheel O’ Blairs!
Each PAX would complete 10 Bonnie Blair’s (DC) while everyone else in the circle held Al Gore.
Running out of time, so mosey back to launch
Circle up for MARY
Freddie Mercs x20 IC
H2H x20 IC
Mutton Crunch R and L x10 IC

Announcements were related to activities happening on Saturday, but Root Canal has the Q at UA this coming Friday.
YHC took us out thanking Him for all of our blessings, trials and difficult seasons included.

Again, super impressed by Spicoli showing up on time. Not only was he on time, but he powered through the entire beatdown despite not being 100%. True grit, my man.
@Drip was his smiley, unbothered self, as usual. If I had a nickel for every time I typed that out in a BB, good Lord.
Was great working out with @Weasley for the first time. Dude was getting after it even after reporting getting a work out in late the night before. Impressive stuff.
@Root Canal continues to be what I can only hope to be when I’m his age. Absolute beast who is unfazed by the beatdowns of men nearly half his age.
Always great getting to post with @Lamb Chop. You know you’re guaranteed to have some good MC whenever he posts, and he did not disappoint today.
@Post Hole is as cheery of a site Q as you will encounter in this region and his Crab Walking skills are unmatched.
It’s always an honor to lead the men at any workout, but YHC was especially grateful today for the fellowship and encouragement of all those assembled. Many thanks, Gentlemen.
Thanks for the keys, @Post Hole. I think I dropped them on the railroad tracks. Sorry.
