Battle Buddies Reunited

Leave a comment

Partner Q is the theme at Alcatraz. Enjoyed the opportunity collaborating with my battle buddy from the Greater Than CSAUP on this one. I took the first half of the workout and concentrated on upper body while Shady took the 2nd half and ran us into some hills!

WARMUP: Short mosey around the COT parking lot, burpees OYO while YHC explained the exercises at each station located in several parking spaces in the lot.

THE THANG:
#1 – Set-up 12 stations with various equipment and exercises. All exercises targeted upper body and core. Asked the PAX to partner up. Partner1 performs exercise at the station while Parnter2 bear crawls to the middle row of parking spaces in the lot – performs 3 Kraken Burpees – then bear crawls back to Partner1. FlapJack and then move to the next station. Most teams completed 11 out of the 12 stations.

#2 – 30 minutes up, time for the 2nd half. Shady took us on a short mosey out of the COT parking lot, took a left and stopped at the 1st hill on the right. 7s were called with a combo exercise of 1 CDD + 1 Merkin at the top and jump squats at the bottom of the hill. Upon completion we moseyed to the spigot to cool off and then headed to the pullup bars. PAX were asked to hold plank while 1 PAX completed AMRAP of pullups. Once all PAX completed 1 round of pullups we moseyed to the hill on the backside of the ballfields. Ran down as a group and performed 10 walking lunges back and forth accross the street. We than ran to the top and repeated the walking lunge routine. Thank God it was time to head back to COT!

MARY: Shady led us in stretching

CVS, Walgreens..What’s the difference? 2 miles

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Headed over to Walgreens for typical warm-ups (SSHs, WMs, IWs, CPs). Next we partnered up for a DORA (Merkins, Squats, LBCs). In error, I said for partner 2 to run around CVS which is 2 miles away. After the awkward silence, I quickly corrected myself and said Walgreens.
Next we moseyed to the wall behind the oil service place. Same partners, one ran around the building while the other performed an exercise (Step ups, Dips, Erkins)
I traveled to the back of Harris Teeter for wall sits. Pax on each end bear crawled out to the curb, 5 merkins, crawl bear back. Next round, lunge walk, squat, reverse lunge. We got to experience the aromatic scents of the trash barrel bottom.
We made our way to the front parking lot. Back to the partner exercises. Each team grabbed a boulder, +2 squat thrusters at each parking space line. Partner 2 ran to the second light pole and back. Each team finished at the 20 thruster mark.
Back to COT
