12 Pax, including one FNG and a few Dawg House originals descended upon MeCa’s newest AO for a pre spring break beatdown at the hands of YHC. Thanks to @The Farm and @ Rib Shack for meeting me a little early this AM to come check out this expansive AO which presents a whole lot of opportunities for #pain. This was a rare Weinkeless Q for YHC. I’ll do my best to recount what happened below.

For the record, @The Farm has been on time every day this week for beatdowns and was even early a few times. However, we still had to do “The Farm Mosey” (short mosey to allow late-comers to catch up) to the next lot over. @The Farm is just glad it was not him we were waiting on for once.

Warm-o-rama:

SSH X15IC
Windmill X10IC
Cotton Picker X10IC
Low Slow Squat X10IC
Mountain Climber X10IC
Merkins X10IC

Mosey to baseball fields. Stop at first fence and bear crawl to the end of double fence (on left). AYG to next light pole. Repeato back. Mosey to bleachers for 20 step ups (each leg). Grab some wall and do 10 derkins followed by 10 incline merkins (Repeato X3). Air squats until six is finished.

Very short mosey to the railroad ties. While were exploring this AO earlier, we looked at these and I noted how heavy they were. @The Farm took that to mean we would not be lifting them today. Sorry bro, it’s Spring Break next week. Let’s do a few curls! In teams of three, do 10 curls. Okay, so I’ll admit that the railroad ties are not really conducive to curls #Qfail. Nonetheless, we did them anyway.

Mosey to tennis courts for a three court suicide.

Mosey around back of courts. Oh look, there’s another set of bleachers. Dick Tracy asked to pick them up and throw em instead of doing more derkins. Sorry bro, don’t want to get kicked out of this AO in the first month! Do 10 derkins and then partner up for 20 partner throw downs and 10 partner pull ups (each arm). Once everyone has done throw downs and pull ups, line up for the pax favorite Tunnel of LOVE. I spared the pax here as we only did one time through the tunnel.

Mosey over to the Big As@ Tires. Line up at each tire (3 at each). First person in line does three tire flips which second person does AMRAP burpees. Third person does AMRAP squats. Rotate through each station twice. Now those are some tire flips!

Long mosey back to main lot. Stopped half way for some LBC’s while waiting for the six. Finish mosey to parking lot nearest Pitt School Road. Sprint to island and do 20 curb dips. Sprint back to other island for 20 incline merkins on the curb. Sprint back to island for 20 more curb dips. Mosey back near cars for MARY.
