First time?
Date: 2026-03-11 AO: WAMRAP Q: Alf , PAX: double_e, Alf, O’Tannenbaum, Patches, poptart, Orange Whip, Reggie, Limey, Split Squat FNGs: None COUNT: 9 WARMUP: Jog to the Green Monster THE THANG: Green Monster laps
An international crowd at WAMRAP this morning with at least 3 US states represented! Patches returned for a second time to lead the PAX which you would expect considering he’s a bit younger. Last time he was dogging it a bit, but today he cruised.
Double E was back after a hiatus.
Limey was there for the first time. About half way through asked when we were done. First time huh?
Anyway, the weather was awesome, the PAX got after it, and some random dude in a hoodie passed by 6 times in the reverse direction and wouldn’t join in.

Suckitup And Carry Stuff
Date: 2026-03-11 AO: SACS Q: midriff , PAX: midriff, wildturkey, Roulette FNGs: None COUNT: 3 WARMUP: I was reprimanded by Roulette for just asking the pax to bring both their ruck AND their sandbag. Fortunately these mofos came prepared, with sandbags to share! Which meant wildturkey and YHC got to switch between a 60# and 40# during the workout. THE THANG: Short walk around the bus lot to see if Cheese Curd would emerge from the gloom. After a minute and no curds, proceed right down Strawberry Lane. Simple game plan, harder execution: – On neighborhood entrances off Strawberry Lane, drop sandbags to bear crawl out/lunge walk back. The bear crawls quickly became a wildturkey favorite. The lunge walks quickly became a Roulette favorite. – Stop at speed bumps for 10 squat thrusters. – Detour through new neighborhood development for 5 flutter kicks/press IC at each lot, shuffling in between. Ascend the construction dirt mound before proceeding to the Raintree golf course. – Walk down/back one hole of the golf course. Short, on-demand, joint career therapy session as we vocalized frustrations with direct reports, merit increases and career changes. Thanks for listening and sharing sound wisdom. MARY: We included her throughout. Poor judgment on the Q to call plankjacks with rucksack, quickly modified to mountain climbers, which marginally helped. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pick one event on the horizon and commit. Pull 1 other person into it and challenge them. COT: Runners can ruck. Ruckers can run. Runners can bootcamp. We are all on the same fitness journey to become better men and better athletes. Let’s lean into lead and get out of our comfort zones.

Swift
Date: 2026-03-10 AO: Swift Q: Brisket , PAX: bratwurst, Gump, citgo, soft_pretzel, tagalong, Brisket, Polly, frasier, fleetwood, Hippie, gumbo, midriff, shrinkwrap, bunker, margo FNGs: None COUNT: 15 Great turnout this morning and a strong effort from the PAX.
We rolled out with a 10-minute warm-up toward Ballantyne Country Club, followed by some elite runner stretches to get the legs ready before the work began.
The main event was four sustained hill efforts: • 3 × 6-minute hill runs • 1 × 8-minute hill run Just steady grinding uphill — the kind of work that builds real strength for the climbs ahead.
The PAX pushed hard, stayed focused, and we made it back just in time.
One final administrative update: Bunker has officially signed Shrinkwrap up to Q all Bootcamp workouts in April.
Strong work this morning, men. 👊
