Dora and Corners

WARMUP:
Short but not quick mosey, SSH, Merkins, Mtn Climbers, and Windmills.
THE THANG:
Mosey to the wall and have a seat. Chairs not provided. Take turns 10 yd bear crawl, 2 burpees or 5 mtn climbers, bear crawl back. Of course Fishstix had to step up with a reverse bear crawl back. I think he learned that from the Alcatraz bear, because his form was on point.
Wrapped and moseyed to the next station for Dora with 100 Dips, 200 Squats , 300 LBCs. The partner mosey was short so the reps stayed short too.
Wrapped and moseyed back to the starting point for a 10 minute 4 Corners exercise.
Mountain Climbers – Mosey
American Hammers – Toy Soldiers
Squats – Mosey
Lunges – Butt Kickers

MARY: Wrapped with 5 minutes of Abs.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Prepare for The Fort’s CSAUP trifecta. Bethel Men’s Shelter meal on 7/4. Fort Mill Care Center lawn on Saturdays. Lots going on. Read the newsletter and use your gifts to support your community.

COT: prayers for safe travels, children at camp and parents missing them, health concerns and recovery from surgery, wisdom and patience as parents for 2.0’s make their own choices. All concerns unsaid. Slapshot wrapped with our prayer.

Thank you. It is always an honor to lead and learn from this community.

3 leg tour

WARMUP: Ditch Witch led!

THE THANG: YHC had a plan pulled from previous Alcatraz backblasts, but it was a pretty morning. So, here’s a list of what we DID NOT do:
– 30 pull ups
– 45 burpees
– 90 squats
– 120 dips
– and laps (thanks Decibel)
and/or a ladder courtesy of Backdraft
– 10 burpees
– 20 jumping lunges
– 30 Carolina Dry Docks
– 40 jump squats
– 50 merkins
Instead we covered 3.5ish miles and stopped occasionally to regroup. We went to the end of Anchorage, Windward, and Point Clear. At the stops, we did some exercises in cadence, some yoga, or just considered the myriad of ways this workout siphoned and what a jerk YHC is.
MARY: led by the PAX in a circle
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 3 CSAUPS this summer – in the https://7tqd.short.gy/f3-thefort-newsletter
COT: a stirring word from Aquaman on the importance of all 3 Fs. Keep posting.

Track and Field

WARMUP: At 50 yard line of NAFO football field…low slow squats, flutters, Carolina Dry Docks, Moroccan Nightclubs, Windmill
THE THANG: Mozy to goal line and 5 yard line. Pax were evenly split and faced each other in plank position starting on the sideline. Pax completed 4 plank jacks, 4 mountain climbers, 4 shoulder taps then moved 4 arm widths toward the opposite side of the field. Rinse and repeat until Pax reaches opposite sideline.
Once completed, Pax moved to the track for bear crawl 1/2 of curved portion of track followed by lunge walk remainder of curved portion. At straightaway, ran to the next curved portion for rinse and repeat of bear crawl and lunge walk. At the next straightaway, sprint to initial starting point.
Return to the field for rinse and repeat of 4s until Pax reached the opposite side of the field. Once completed, we started the rinse and repeat of the track lap but modified to full run after initial bear crawl/lunge due to time considerations.
After the lap, Pax moved to the goal line for run to the 50 yard line for 50 LBCs then back to goal line for 5 LBCs. Rinse and repeat descending distances for 40/4 SSH, 30/3 CDD, 20/2 windmill merkins, 10/1 burpees.

D-day at the Coaches Box

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:
