Imperial Walkers
Hillbilly Walkers
Windmills
Arm Circles – front and back
Michael Phelps
Downward Dog
Honeymooners
Runner’s Stretch

We moseyed to the bottom of the steep hill.

THE THANG:
Thang 1 – Welsh Dragons
Starting at the bottom of the hill, Bear crawl forward 4 steps, then do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and 1 shoulder tap (R + L =1). Repeat, adding 1 rep to each exercise each time—bear crawl forward 4 steps, then do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, and 2 shoulder taps. Repeat until you reach 10 reps or the top of the hill. We didn’t make it to the top so Nur to the top.

Mosey to the basketball courts.

Thang 2 – Wilt Chamberlains
Named for Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record 100-point game. Starting at one baseline do 100 LBCs, then run to the opposite baseline and do 100 squats. Return to the first baseline to do 100 flutter kicks (R+L =1), and then run to opposite baseline and do 100 lunges (50 each leg).

Thang 3
Using the Parking spaces start at one end, Bear Crawl 2 lines do 1 Merkin, Crawl Bear 1 line and do 12 squats. Bear Crawl 2 lines do 2 Merkins, Crawl Bear 1 line and do 11 squats. Repeat until you do 12 Merkins an 1 squat. My math was off so we finished 10 and 2 or something like that.
Moseyed to the field.

Burpee Ball at Alcatraz

Leave a comment

WARMUP: lap around Runde Park then exercises in the parking lot including Imperial Walkers, Mountain climbers, CDDs
THE THANG: Mozy to the little league ball field right foul pole for 7s. Merkins at the RF foul pole and big boy sit-ups at the left field pole.
Once completed, mozy to home plate to explain burpee ball. Three squares/rectangles were marked off with cones in the outfield. We split up into two teams and scoring was as follows; 1 run if the ball is hit and stops in any of the boxes, 4 runs for a home run, burpee penalty if the ball doesn’t leave the infield or the batter whiffs. At the end of the inning, both teams sprinted to pickup the balls. The team that collects the most balls scores a run.
So that those not batting have something to stay busy with, Pax not hitting worked through a ladder (20 reps each) of the following: SSH, Squats, LBCs, Lunges, Seal Jacks, Shoulder Taps, Mike Tyson’s, Plank Jacks, and 2 burpees.
Batters hit off a tee with the finest and smallest tee-ball bat YHC could find in his garage. Both good and bad hits were had by all. The ball pick became the most contested part of the workout, with full sprints and possibly some tackling. We completed five rounds then returned to COT.
MARY: Nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CUSAPs
COT: Family and upcoming doctor results.

Aye!

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.
