As YHC pulls into Runde Park parking lot, I notice the lights are all on and there is a Tega Cay 5.0 standing talking to the PAX. I think what did we do wrong already?? Did a PAX pass out in anticipation to the un-official BD that we have been tweeting about the night before? Side note, enjoyed the trash talking with WEP and IL, it’s all about encouraging the PAX to get out and post and grow as a leader with #accountability!

So the PAX almost had the 5.0 post with his 20 lb equipment, but he choose to watch. All week YHC trying to come up with something new for Alcatraz as the other Q was DM’ing about his vision of pain. So the thang started like this:

COP with typical SSH, IW, Merkins, Squats and Windmill. PAx took off for a fast mossy (yes YHC forced the PAX to run a little faster) around the Tega Cay firestation up to the track next to a…..pull up bar!! Oh the PAX began to cry as they realized what was about to begin.

PAX split into 2 groups. Group 1 ran to the playground: each PAX did 5 pull-ups (yes a Trucker Tradition), as each one took a turn, the PAX did continuous Burpees until each one did 5 pull-ups. Group 2 stayed at the pull-up bar on the trail and did the same thing. Once completed the groups ran to the other station and repeated. Groups ran back to starting station and repeated sequence 3 more times with:
Squats/5 Pull-ups
LBC/5 pull-ups
Merkins/5 pull-ups

Mossy to retaining wall for 20 dips and 10 step-ups per leg, rinse and repeat. YHC thought he had enough time to do Dora 1-2-3, but the pull-up relay exhausted the PAX.

Hand off to Zima…
Short mosey to “The Hill” behind Alcatraz. Run all the way to the base and begin series of 1 exercise and then run hill, run in a circle at the bottom of the hill until 6 is in (Thanks Senator T).
SSH X 30 : Run Hill and Back
Hillbillies (IW but use same arm/leg) : X8 and a car broke the Pax into a Run Hill and Back
Mountain Climbers X 20 : Run Hill and Back
Peter Parkers X20 : Run the Hill and then Mosey to the Parking Lot

Jack Webb Family Tree: Series of Jack Webb related exercises to induce sweat and pain.

1. Ascending Cone Crawl (Jack’s Promiscuous Cousin) : Bear Crawls to each cone laid out across the parking lot and complete 1 CDD at first cone, 2 at second cone and so on until you’ve traversed the parking lot and back with 10 completed CDD, Bear Crawling the whole way.
2. Dan Taylors (Jack’s other Cousin) : 1 Squat / 4 Jumping Lunge Count up to 10/40 (Crowd Pleaser)

Late Friday night, word spread that the clown car to Hartsville was cancelled. Let the Tweets begin! Enjoyed stirring the pot in making sure all PAX not doing the P200 would not Fartsack and go somewhere! Zima and YHC were planning this all week hoping we developed something hard but fun. It’s always a blast to Q and try to be creative and make everyone sweat. Enjoyed the mumblechatter when we stopped at the pull-up bar. Always a PAX favorite!

After Truckers pull-up festival I was seriously re-thinking some adjustments. I’ve been told if you can’t do it, don’t Q it. My goal for the morning was if I can “barely” Q it, I should probably do it. Such was the case. With Alcatraz all lit up, I was yearning for the gloom I’m so accustomed to. So we made a jailbreak ala Clint Eastwood and headed for the “Hill”. Lots of mumblechatter going down the hill, not much after that. My weak attempt at cadence on Hillbillies was evident, but a car coming down the street saved me and we broke into a sprint up the hill. It’s amazing with so many educated PAX that they still can’t manage to run in a circle. We’ll work on that later but oxygen deprivation may have played a part. I really enjoyed introducing the Pax to Jack’s extended family. It will probably be awhile before I attempt that trio again. The clock hit 7:30 AM right on the JW 40 clap. An end to a delightful Q. Always and honor and looking forward to the next. Aye!

Prayers to P200 PAX – everyone enjoyed the Tweets from those PAX. Prayers to Flat Tire and M on cancer treatment.
