Rain thwarted my plans but not my resolve

QIC: Subfloor

Date: 7/13/2026

PAX: Boomer of the Ang (WD), Ziggy of the Stardust (WD), Slow of the Pitch (WB), I of the Beam, Ru of the Dolph, Hu of the Go, Sub of the Floor (QIC)

YHC had developed this very cool, fun, and creative beatdown about; actually, not going to mention it, keeping it for another time. However, he was thwarted by the rain forecast and actually raining when he woke up, but his resolve to fully work the entire body of the PAX was still intact.

Warm-O-Rama

Mission Statement / 5 Core Principles

The Thang includes warm-o-rama. All of this was done under the well built YMCA picnic cover, with extra shirts and water bottles, just in case.

The Thang

A Tabata of course, to rain tunes. Or Rainbata per Slowpitch. 20s on, 10s rest. Complete each set 3x.

4 toy soldier dips L leg split squat American Hammer
5 high knees mike tysons R leg split squat Box cutters
6 jack reachers burpees monkey humpers crunchy frogs
7 imperial walkers carolina dry docks squats WW2

 

Finished all sets with seconds to spare. I think everyone loved Arms the best, especially the Derkins. This was a very tough beatdown and YHC had to encourage all the PAX, multiple times, that a third of the time they weren’t doing anything so it’s not that hard. Also, it’s only 20 seconds.

Site Q Slowpitch utilized the new cooldown showers, but no one used the fresh water fountains. They do in fact work very well.
