THE THANG:
After a brief introduction including some history of Alcatraz, Funhouse kicked off COP with 50 SSH, (although I believe 100 were planned in homage to Santini). From there it was imperial walker x 10, hillbilly walker x 10. Before we got to the meat of the workout, YHC called out a classic Alcatraz upper body workout called Green Sally (Decibel/2014). It’s a song by Moby called ‘Flower’ where you plank when he sings ‘Green Sally Up’ and drop to 6″ when he sings ‘Green Sally Down’. It’s pretty tough to complete the whole song and I don’t think anyone did today. But, you have to have monster shoulder strength. Because we had a large group today, we split them in half and started our Q’s:

COT: Today we celebrated 10 years at Runde Park by paying homage to some of the classic beatdowns led by the great Q’s of Alcatraz. Funhouse and I drew an Alcatraz record 32 Pax and that made me very proud (of course, we advertised heavily, offered free coffee, beer, cake, and closed the other two Saturday AO’s so maybe that had something to do with it – LOL). Although, attendance at bootcamps on Saturdays isn’t what is used to be, I will post whenever I am able. Runde Park has been my home on Saturday mornings, and even after all these years, I still look forward to getting up early, meeting the Pax at 6:30, and doing that tough bootcamp workout. Many thanks to all that posted with us this morning and special thanks to our current and former site Q’s: Funhouse, Smuggler, Trucker, Skipper, and Uber for their leadership and help pulling this all together. I appreciate all you guys!
