Leave a comment

WARMUP: Jog around the parking lot, including some NUR and side lunges.
THE THANG:
Part 1:
Police Officer Tara Christina O’Sullivan
Sacramento Police Department, California
End of Watch Wednesday, June 19, 2019
Police Officer Tara O’Sullivan was shot and killed at the scene of a domestic disturbance in the 200 block of Redwood Avenue at 6:10 pm.
She was standing in the yard while assisting a woman to retrieve belongings from a home when a male subject inside opened fire with a rifle, striking Officer O’Sullivan. The subject continued to fire at other officers, preventing them from reaching Officer O’Sullivan or rendering aid to her. Approximately 30 minutes later, an armored vehicle arrived, and they were able to rescue her from the yard. She was transported to a local hospital where she succumbed to her wounds.
The subject remained barricaded inside the home for several more hours while negotiators communicated with him. He surrendered at 2:00 am the following morning. The suspect had a lengthy criminal history of violence and abuse. He pleaded guilty to her murder, and in 2025, a jury recommended the death penalty.
Officer O’Sullivan had served with the Sacramento Police Department for six months. She previously served as a Community Service Officer and an Explorer. She was survived by her parents.
Tara set the Sacramento Police Department record for the plank hold at 26 minutes and 7 seconds straight when she was a recruit at the Sacramento Police Academy. The academy’s gym, now named the Officer Tara O’Sullivan Memorial Gym, was dedicated in her honor on August 30, 2019.

6 Rounds: 19 Cinderblock Swings
20 Push-Ups
19 Goblet Squats
Buy-Out: 3min 49sec Forearm Plank Hold (We’ll do as a group w/ 1 timer) – Dark Helmet & Harry Carry ruled this one.
If you need a break during the Plank Hold:
1st Break: 3 Burpees and return to the Plank Hold

The reps signify:

D-Day – The Greatest Generation

Leave a comment

D-Day (June 6, 1944)

D-Day:
D-Day was the Allied plan to launch a massive invasion of Nazi-occupied France, opening a second front in Europe to relieve pressure on the Soviet Union in the east and hasten the defeat of Nazi Germany. The Allies aimed to break out of Normandy, liberate France, and advance toward Germany, ultimately ending the war in Europe.
Phases:
1. Airborne Assault: Shortly after midnight, thousands of paratroopers dropped behind enemy lines to disrupt German defenses.
2. Bombardment: Pre-dawn air and naval attacks targeted German coastal fortifications.
3. Amphibious Landings: From 6:30 AM, Allied troops landed on five beaches (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword). Fierce fighting occurred, especially at Omaha Beach.
4. Beachhead Establishment: By the end of the day, the Allies had secured footholds on all beaches, though not all objectives were met.

Casualties:
– Allied: About 4,414 killed on D-Day (over 10,000 casualties including wounded/missing).
– German: Estimated 4,000–9,000 killed or wounded.
– Civilians: Around 3,000 killed.

Significance:
The Normandy invasion was a turning point in World War II, marking the start of the liberation of Western Europe and placing immense pressure on German forces. Elaborate deception plans misled the Germans about the invasion’s location, and extensive planning ensured the Allies achieved surprise and established a crucial foothold in France.

2025 PGA Championship – Quail Hollow

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs

We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).

I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet

Thank you Nasa for the call.

COT:
Thank you Slapshot for your dedication and efforts as the 1st F Q!

Congratulations Bonsai and Time Machine on taking on the 1st F Q roles and to Cyclopes on assuming the LDP role. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring!
