NMM: From Dark Helmet:
Here's what I will tell you, no one was a huge fan of the wounded dogs but the hill sprints on TCD Hill were the real crowd pleaser…total shutdown of mumblechatter and several bodily functions. We were also treated to a number of PAX sightings as we went. I recall Shady, Pauly D, Tesh and Spike making a pass through. They looked miserable. That's good training for BRR, which is at least 72% misery. The rest is a loose emulsion of running and fellowship.

MARY: Worked in throughout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints & Padres family cookout June 21 at 5:30pm at The Print Shop.
Step up and serve at The Bethel Men's Shelter.
COT: There are a lot of things going well, but there are a lot of challenges around The Fort. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Reach out to a man and share burdens. As has been said before: A burden shared is half the burden, a joy shared is twice the joy.

At the picnic tables, the following:

15 squats – ass to bench
15 incline merkins

10 step ups each leg
10 incline merkins

Stand on the bench – reflect on whose shoulders we stand. Who loved us enough to get us out here and/or help you get to where you are in life? Go and thank them out loud.

YHC realized it had been exactly one year since my last Q at this site. A recycled weinke made a partial appearance, ladder style

Perform the first exercise in the sequence, the run to the church turnaround and back, add an exercise each time until completing 6 rounds, drop the exercise with the fewest reps each round thereafter.

5 burpees
10 diamond merkins
15 wide arm merkins
20 lunges – 10 each leg
25 squats
30 seal jacks

At 0555 PAX stopped where they were and proceeded back toward COT

The question pondered was to come up with one thing you’re carrying that, if shared, would make it feel lighter.

MARY: Time for dying cockroaches I/C

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Always – read your newsletter too.

COT: The challenges were shared and shoulders hopefully a bit lighter as a result.

NMM: The F3 community is one that has blessed YHC and many others. We walk along side one another so that we each know life is most meaningful when shared with others, the good, the bad and everything in between. YHC learned a few things today in COT and am grateful to those who posted and shared what they did.

May the sharing of our challenges help us realize we aren’t alone and that we can navigate life best with others rather than in isolation.

Thanks for the call, Sweet Baby Ray.

Gratefully,
Cyclops

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
