D-day at the Coaches Box

Leave a comment

Today’s workout was about perspective. History provides the best perspective and on 6/6 we were reflecting on D-Day.

Started with a mosey towards the entrance of the high-school.

Stopped and did

20 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC

Mosey to the bottom of the hill right at the entrance.

To celebrate, honor, and remember the 80th anniversary of D-Day we executed the following:

80 seconds work
2:40 minutes recovery

80 HR Merkins
80 Squats
80 4ct Flutters
80Diamond Merkins
80 Calf Raises
80 LBCs

So the idea was all Pax do as many reps as possible in the 80 seconds then the “recovery” run was back to the top of the hill where we each did 6 burpees and then get back to the bottom. Any excess time left of the 2:40 is your “rest”.

The Pax loved this and looking at time we got through 7 rounds of this before breaking back towards COT.

On the way we stopped by the band lot and did a 80 yard bear crawl followed by 44 SSH to close us out.

One last note on perspective…. It’s easy for us to get caught up in the day to day but take a step back, reflect on how we all got here and the opportunities each day brings because of the sacrifices of others.

Thanks to Warning Track for the opportunity!

:punch: :punch: :pray:

Honoring a Hero

Leave a comment

This hero workout is in honor of my friend and classmate Capt. Mark “Pitbull” McDowell. Four took on the challenge and were rewarded with a sunrise for the ages. Here’s what we did:

– Run 1 Mile
– 5 Minute Plank
– 200 Calf Raises
– 300 LBCs
– Run 1 Mile
– 100 Muscle-ups
– 200 Merkins
– 300 Squats

Mark was a 4.25 GPA student, captain of the soccer team, and an all-around great young man. He was the guy you wanted to hate because he was good at everything. But once you got to know him, you learned that he was the type of guy you strived to be. When he graduated high school, he attended the Air Force Academy. Upon graduation in 2005, he completed Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, and Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. Captain McDowell completed the Basic Qualification Course – F-15E in May of 2008 and was assigned to the 336th Fighter Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina.

Mark’s plane went down in Afghanistan. He left behind a wife, loving family, and many friends. As his grandfather said at his service, “He was born to fly and he died doing what he loved.”

If Mark were here today, he would have been the guy crushing the workout from the front with a smile on his face. He would have been the guy to encourage the whole time.

Remember, we GET TO do this. Some others aren’t as blessed.

13 pillars & 4 levels

Leave a comment

WARMUP: yea, we did that. seriously, it’s important.

THE THANG: ran towards the levels, but found some pillars. Stopped for 1 burpee at the first pillar, then 2, then 3, etc. There were 13. That’s 91 burpees (if I’d done the math in my head, I would have called 9 more in cadence. Guess the PAX are glad, I didn’t….)

At the levels near the tennis courts

Bottom level – 10 squats
2nd level – 10 jump squats
3rd level – 10 lunges
3.5 level – turn around 10 bulgarian split squats
4 level – head back to the bottom level

We did 4 rounds

On the way back, we stopped for Bomb Jacks at light poles in an additive fashion as well.

MARY: Some shinbox work. look it up. mobility matters

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Summer of CSAUP
