Arms & Legs So Bad It Still Hurts

Leave a comment

<@UST30T7FF> and <@U01JUGK82TY> were Co-Q’s for the day. We decided to split it up by muscle groups. Ruby started first with arms and then Splinter took over with legs.
WARMUP: Warmup-y things.
THE THANG: Ruby’s 1/2:
Mosey to the playground for a all arms DORA. MOT is bear crawl 20 yards out and crawl bear 20 yards back to the playground, Exercises & Reps: At the swing set put your feet in the swing to get into a position to perform derkins, bring your knees to your chest while in plank position and then extend, then complete 1 derkin, that is 1 rep, partners complete 50reps, then 75 reps of a Merkin/ParkerPeter combo exercise, and then 100 reps of a WideArmMerkin/ShoulderTaps combo exercise. ARMS WERE BE SMOKED!!!
Splinter’s 1/2:
Indian Run 1 lap around WEP. Unfortunatly, becase Ruby killed us in the 1st half, we lost 60% of the PAX on the lap. Then we regrouped for some step-ups on the park benches, some calf raises then ran over to the hill. We lined up and raced up the hill not knowing what was going to be required of the winner and losers. Since there were 10 of us (to start) 1st Place did 1 more run up the hill and 100 squats, 2nd place 2 more runs up the hill and 90 squats, and so on. Second go round was 1st Place, 1 run up the hill and 100 lunges, 2nd place 2 more runs up the hill and 90 lunges and so on.
<@U035XDY7ABC> started talking to a guy at the top of the hill. He ended up EH’ing him on the spot to finish the last set and Mary. Welcome The Apostle.
MARY: 4 minutes of Mary
ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Sweaty Barry, Blood drive, Read Your Newsletter

No One Escapes Alcatraz Without Doing Hard Labor

Leave a comment

Pulled in with 5 minutes to spare, unloaded the whiteboard of pain, and got ready to honor someone who fought harder than we ever will in a 45-minute workout.
Today’s beatdown was in memory of Kathleen “Mrs. Burns,” the M of F3 Puget Sound’s Burns, who courageously battled pancreatic cancer for 571 days before passing on August 21, 2022. The workout was built as a tribute to her strength, endurance, and spirit.

THE WOD: “Mrs. Burns” Tribute
(Goal: 5 rounds – Completed: 3 rounds IC)
Buy-In: Run ~0.35 miles (approx. 500M)
Each Round (x3):
– 20 Overhead Coupon Presses
– 20 Burpees
– 20 Curls
– 20 V-Ups
– 20 Goblet Squats
– 13 Man-Makers
– Run ~0.35 miles again

Team Grinder – The Block Chain:
– Stack all Cindy’s at the front
– Line up the PAX
– First HIM passes a block down the line
– Last HIM restacks it, moves to the back
– Repeat until every man has cycled through
– (Yes, it was slow. Yes, it burned. Yes, we’ll probably do it again.)

COT:
– Announcements, praises, and prayer
– Challenge: Carry more than just weight today—carry each other
– Wrapped with Coffeeteria at Tega Cay Deli because fellowship matters

Strong men showed up. Stronger reasons kept us going.

Hero WOD +

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.
Buy-In: 26 Burpees
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
2nd Break: 4 Burpees
3rd Break or more: 9 Burpees
The reps signify:
– 26 Burpees for the number of years she lived in this world
– 6-19-20-19 rounds and reps for her end of watch date
– 3 minutes and 49 seconds plank hold for Tara’s badge number
– 3-4-9 Burpees penalties also correspond to her badge number.
