As Site Q at The Sandlot, YHC tries to take the Q from time to time. PAX have been great at stepping up so taking Q this last Monday in November was by choice and not necessity. Little did the Site Q know that this was an unannouced audit. Former Sandlot Site Q and current 1F Q, Flintstone, was part of the PAX shaking off the calorie cobwebs from a long holiday weekend. This felt a little like the two Bob’s from Office Space showing up to see how things were running at the the premiere Monday SOGA AO. “What exactly would you say you do here?” He did such a great job leading this workout for so long, and I’m sure he wanted to make sure we hadn’t let things go downhill.

0530 so let’s get going

The Pledge

Mosey to the top of the parking lot in the park.

Quick background on the design of the weinke. While watching in horror and embarrassment at what was taking place on that ill-kept football field in Raleigh on Saturday night, YHC tried to distract himself with thoughts of literally anything else. Thoughts of how to better condition this soft team led to the idea of running, lots of running.

Thoughts of using the islands in the parking lot to run suicides seemed a little much given the number of islands and distance involved. So we’d improvise to shifting suicides.

Run to the second island for 10 Merkins. Then, run back an island for 10 Reverse Crunches. Then, forward two islands for 10 Merkins. Then, back an island for 10 Reverse Crunches. Rinse and repeat until you reached the other end of the parking lot. That would be 100 Merkins and 100 Reverse Crunches. This two steps forward and one step back mirrored YHC’s favorite college football team (except it was more like one step forward and two leaps back the last couple of years).

Mosey down to the soccer fields. Here were’d run some Suicide Triple Nickle.
Start at midfield and run towards the sideline stopping at a line conveniently drawn on the pitch for 5 Mike Tysons. Run back towards the line at midfield. Run back past the first line to the sideline for 5 Jump Squats. Then back to the line at midfield. Rinse and repeat this 5 times.

We weren’t done though. Much like Kurt Russell playing Herb Brooks in the movie Miracle, the Q said, “Again!”

Another round of Suicide Triple Nickle with Seal Jacks and Plank Jacks.

“Again!” this time with PAX choice. Flintstone chose American Hammers and Maybelline chose Nolan Ryans.

Time to mosey back. After passing the turd shack, stop at each light pole for 5 Merkins. This continued outside the park and all the way back to Snoball’s.

Back in time for one round of Mary in which Winehouse chose LBCs.

Prayer to take us out.

Maybe it was the thoughts of concern for the prayer request, maybe it was the lack of blood flow to the brain after all the suicide runs, or maybe it was the distraction of the bright, flashing “OPEN” sign at Snoball’s, but YHC had forgotten the Name-o-rama. The 1F Q was standing there will his clipboard to call out the oversight. That will surely be a significant point reduction on the audit score. Hoping The Sandlot can retain the A rating.

Until next time…
