Wodapalooza
SoCal 2026

Execution notes

• Teams start behind the green line. Pairs may divide BMU and squat work as desired; both BMU athletes use the same bar and face inside the rig.
• For every synchro squat pair, one athlete uses the 150 lb bag and the other uses the 100 lb bag. Bags stay shoulder-loaded; athletes stand one behind the other facing the judge.
• Competing teammates may assist an athlete onto the pull-up bar. One 6-inch riser is provided and must remain inside the lane.
• One athlete may stand on each side of the log. The two over-log athletes may work together to lift and move the 150 lb bag; they may cross over or under the log while staying in-lane. The 100 lb bag must remain in a bear hug for log reps to count.
• Time ends when the final athlete crosses the red finish line.

Movement standards

• Synchro BMU: begin in an extended-arm hang, feet clear of the ground. Both athletes must reach locked elbows above the bar with shoulders over or in front of it. An athlete may arrive early and wait.
• No pullovers, rolls to support, uprises, glide kips, feet above bar height, or assisting arm contact. Keep hands attached at the top; resting and grip adjustment are allowed.
• Synchro sandbag squat: hip crease below knee, then both athletes fully extend hips and knees with the bag still on the shoulders. Early arrival and waiting at the top are allowed. The bag may rest on the top, side, or back of the shoulders; one or two hands may support it.
• Over-log / hold: the 150 lb bag starts on the athlete’s side and must land opposite. Athletes and bags stay inside lane tape; touching or crossing it requires repeating the attempt. The 100 lb bear-hug bag must have more than half its bulk above the hips for over-log reps to count.
• Scoring: finish time, or completed reps if capped; no tiebreak.

Briefing clarification

The athlete briefing resolves the prior squat-load question: the two squatters use different bags—one heavy and one light. The third-athlete bear-hug requirement applies only during the 63 over-log reps.

Race-day essentials

• Team score is the combined official time of all three athletes; each athlete's time starts and stops at the timing mats.
• Wear the issued chip bib visibly on the front. Do not fold, cover, remove, or tamper with it; all athletes must register at the turnaround mat.
• The course contains hard-packed and soft sand. Shoes or water-friendly footwear are recommended but optional; athletes may run barefoot. The route does not enter the water.
• Water is available at halfway as needed. Continue moving through the finish catch zone and follow volunteer or medical direction.
• The course closes at 7:45 PM. An athlete who reaches the 60-minute cap receives a 60:00 score and is removed from the course.

Additional athlete-brief details

• No separate run check-in. Arrive at the Sandbox Stage before your assigned wave.
• The Sandbox satellite warm-up area opens around 5 PM. The Athlete Lounge and beach are also warm-up options; avoid the START / FINISH areas and timing mats.
• Walking and resting are permitted, but the clock continues.
• No headphones or sunglasses. Shoes are strongly recommended for the changing sand conditions.
• Results appear on Competition Corner. Completing the run and finish process ends your Friday competition.
• Log all three chip times and sum them for the team score. An individual cap receives 60:00; keep that distinct from a DNF.

Execution notes

• All athletes begin behind the green start line. Face inside the A-frame rig during chest-to-bars.
• Each athlete receives one 6-inch riser and must keep it in-lane.
• The judge resets the SkiErg. After burpees, athletes may return over or under the log.

Movement standards

• C2B: start hanging with straight arms and feet off the floor; touch the bar with the chest at or below the collarbone. Any grip or pull-up style is allowed.
• Ski: start on the platform, hands off handles, monitor at zero. Stay on the platform through the required calories. Do not touch the monitor.
• Burpee over log: face the log with chest and thighs on the ground, then get over and land both feet opposite. Stepping or jumping is allowed. Touching or crossing lane tape invalidates the attempt; repeat the entire movement.
• Scoring: include the relay tags and athlete 3’s finish-line crossing, not just the final burpee. If capped, record completed reps; no tiebreak.

Masters prescription

Use the published Masters block: 300 DU; 24/18/12 C&J at 135/155/165 lb, then max reps at 185 lb. The briefing summary’s 400 DU and 24/20/16 figures describe the generic Rx flow, not Masters. Score counts row meters + DU + C&J reps.

Movement standards

• Row / deadlift hold: start seated, hands off the handle, monitor zero. Do not touch the monitor; the judge resets it to zero if touched. The holder’s hands stay outside the legs; the bar cannot rest on the legs. Stop rowing whenever deadlift lockout is lost or the bar touches the ground.
• Double-under / front-rack hold: the rope travels forward twice under the feet per jump. Count successful jumps only while the holder keeps the bar front-racked, elbows ahead of the bar. Any grip is allowed.
• Clean & jerk: ground start; muscle, power, squat, or split clean permitted. Align the feet before pressing. Strict press, push press, or jerk permitted. Finish with hips, knees, and arms extended, aligned feet, and the bar over or slightly behind the midline. Only feet may touch the floor.
• Stay on the platform. Border contact or dropping the bar behind the head invalidates the entire lift; repeat the clean and jerk.
• Scoring: row meters + successful heavy DU + C&J reps at 17:00; no tiebreak.

Briefing clarifications

• Start with one athlete seated on the rower without touching the handle, one at the barbell without touching it, and one resting off-platform.
• Deadlift holders may exchange without stopping the row if the lockout hold remains continuously established.
• Teams change their own plates. Different rope lengths may be staged for different athletes.
• No physical tag is required; the outgoing athlete must be off the platform before the next working athlete begins.

Execution notes

• Teams start behind the white line. The initial bike athlete begins seated; the bike starts at zero and seat height may be adjusted beforehand.
• Non-working athletes stay inside the lane, off the lifting area, and clear of the athlete and judge.
• Time is recorded on the final snatch; there is no finish line.

Movement standards

• Bike: the monitor starts at zero; the working athlete stays seated through the required calories.
• Snatch: start on the ground. Muscle, power, squat, or split variations are allowed. Finish with hips, knees, and elbows extended, feet aligned under the body, and the bar over or slightly behind the midline.
• No hang snatches, shoulder/head contact with the bar, or floor contact by any body part except the feet.
• Scoring: final snatch time, or completed reps if capped; no tiebreak.

Allocation clarified

The working athlete must change after every 15 snatches, but the briefing permits uneven totals: one athlete may take more 15-rep turns than the others. Exactly 75 reps each and a fixed A–B–C repeat are not required by the briefing summary. Log each athlete’s turns and total reps.

Execution notes

• Teams start behind the green line. One athlete works unless a movement is specified as two-person synchro; non-working athletes remain in-lane and out of the way.
• Rope climbs may be divided freely. Synchro movements may rotate pairs as desired.
• Handstand walk: minimum 5 ft to advance; one athlete owns each 30 ft leg. If the team changes athletes after a failure before that leg is complete, the incoming athlete restarts the full 30 ft.
• Time ends when the final athlete crosses the red finish line.

Movement standards

• Rope: start with both feet grounded and touch the prescribed 15 ft mark. Jump-starts and leg assistance are allowed for Masters rope climbs.
• Ping-pong wall ball: both partners reach below-parallel squat depth together, one holding the ball. Early arrival and waiting are allowed. Ball center contacts the target at or above 10 ft. Stand side by side and alternate successful shots; after a no-rep either athlete may retry. A dropped ball must settle before restarting. The third athlete may substitute.
• Synchro TTB: extended-arm hang; heels return behind the bar each rep. Both athletes’ feet contact the bar between their hands together. Early contact and waiting are allowed. Any grip and any part of the feet may make contact.
• Handstand walk: forward, backward, or sideways styles are allowed. Hands begin fully behind the start and finish beyond the boundary, with feet airborne. Keep off sideline tape. The same athlete resumes at the last completed 5 ft section after a no-rep; a replacement athlete restarts the full 30 ft leg.
• Synchro goblet squat: squat below parallel, then reach full hip/knee extension together. Keep the KB front-racked and both hands attached. Early arrival and waiting at the top are allowed; hand-to-hand kettlebell exchanges are permitted.
• Masters box jump-over: box-facing or lateral reps are allowed. Both feet must touch the top together before either leaves. Both feet must be airborne at some point on ascent; a simultaneous two-foot takeoff is not required. Land both feet opposite and stay in-lane. Top extension is unnecessary. Incidental hand contact is allowed, assistance is not. Clearing the box without top contact is not allowed.
• Scoring: final athlete’s finish-line crossing, or completed reps if capped; no tiebreak. Ask how partial handstand-walk sections convert to capped-score reps.
