IPC2026 Prep at Western Front

QIC: Slowpitch

Date: 08.07.2026

PAX: @cruiser @subfloor @van.gogh @Rubber Ducky @Drama Queen @wahoo @tonka @slowpitch @ziffel

Today’s workout was all about IPC2026 prep and was taken from Week 3 of last year’s IPC. Week 3 was the Chris Kyle WOD and I modified some pieces but overall it was a good beatdown.

I let the PAX know that I don’t want to see it all about speed but I want to see full reps and good form (think I got approval from the form police)

The thang:
– 25 yard sprint to the set of cones where your block/weight is

  • 25 thrusters with your block/weight
  • 25 block/weight swings
  • 25 merkins of your choice
  • 25 bent over rows (modified this from the preblast)

25 yard sprint back to start and do 5 burpees

Finisher:

Go to the side parking lot with the parking space

  • Burpee broad jump to the next space
  • One leg lateral jump over the concrete parking space
  • Repeat down and back

nmm

  • Subfloor was there. He was quiet today and didn’t make fun of YHC or the beatdown. He just kept moving and doing his thing and made today look easy!
  • Tonka received the compliment of “You don’t even look sweaty” which means he may actually be built of steel. Can someone test this guy!
  • Gogh lead the way, had great form and wore sleeves…….Not cool!
  • Drama Queen did an EC ruck and kept saying “Now I remember why I don’t do IPC” but in reality, he was just making us all feel better. DQ is a complete HIM out there in the gloom!
  • Wahoo is another one that needs to be tested as I don’t think he broke a sweat either. I think he liked my music choice for the most part until I skipped “I got the magic in me” and he let me hear it that he liked that song.
  • Rubber Ducky also with the EC Ruck and he wore a vest during the beatdown. What a HIM. He also called me out for not wearing my vest. I think this was a toelio friendly workout because he wasn’t telling me about his toes hurting but he did mention ManCrush I mean Cyborg.
  • Cruiser also with the EC ruck and vest today. He kept saying he was tired but I think that was just to make me feel better that my workout wasn’t hard enough. This guy is ready to crush IPC2026.

Coffee after was a good time. Our outside table was taken so we got to sit inside and stink up The Coffee Mill. Good thing they had the fans going.

Thank you for letting me lead today Ducky. I left the keys with ManCrush…I mean Cyborg (dang it I keep doing that). You’ll get them back when he finally posts.
