YHC was called from the bullpen mid-week to assist Splinter with a fill-in Q at Battle. By Friday, it wasn’t clear whether Collar knew that he was the Co-Q so a solo Q was planned just in case. Splinter was off to the Manning launch with Chaser, Okra, and Abraham. Another Reynoldsless Battle.
Collar showed up on Sat morning ready for a good workout planned by 2 other Qs. Unfortunately, he never got the memo that he was supposed to lead. He offered to come up with something during the 1st 30 mins, but YHC was relishing the opportunity for a full hour Q at Battle so Collar’s offer was rebuffed. 7 showed up ready to put in some work. Here’s what you missed.
Conditions – Not quite as hot or humid as usual. Still challenging.

Ditch the bricks. Head to the Battle Loop.
402 PAX pull-ups (#BattleRecord) – 1st 3 PAX do 1 set of AMRAP pull-ups. Other 4 do big boy sit-ups. 2nd 3 do 1 set of AMRAP pull-ups. Other 4 do BBS. Last 1 (Collar) does 1 set of AMRAP pull-ups. Other 6 do BBS. Rinse and repeat until we got to 402 total. Most PAX did ~ 60 pull-ups.
Brisk run to The Mall. Stop 1/2 there on Landmark for 25 BBS, 25 iron cross, and 25 Russian twists (2 ct).
Stair work at The Mall – 3 stair cases for the parking garage. 2 head down to the 1st one. 2 at the 2nd one. 3 at the 3rd one. Everyone go to the bottom. Go up by backwards bear crawling each step. 10 squats at the bottom, each landing, and at the top. Be sure to dodge piss, vomit, cigarette butts, and condom wrappers on your way up. #crowdpleaser.
Rinse and repeat #muchocrowdpleaser.
Give the arms and lower back a break with a run up each ramp down to the downtown side of The Mall. Skip coming back down the 2nd one because of the fresh coat of vomit near the top (#spilledfromacupfromthenightbefore?).
Slightly less brisk run back to COT. Stop 1/2 back on Landmark for 25 BBS, 25 iron cross, and 25 Russian twists. T-claps to Wingback for finishing his reps quickly so we could all leave since we were short on time.
Wingback and Ronda with a mad dash to the finish line. Looked like a tie to me from 20 yards back?
No time to spare as the last of the group made it back to the start line at 8AM sharp.
Moleskin – That sucked.
BOM Prayer – Misfire.
Announcements – Ice your lower back tonight. You’ll need it.
