I’m beginning to think there is a method to the madness of why we work out in the Gloom. Because we’re not that pretty in the daylight. This was evidenced at the most recent installment of Run Ruck and Gun! Some of the usual ruckers and then some of the “not so usual” ruckers were rolling in prior to launch of 1815. Tclaps to Cobra Kai and WWL for providing this evening’s coupons. 1815 came and went! I disclaimed and proceeded to outline

THE THANG
8 Pax
2 – 40 lb sandbags
2 – 60 lb sandbags
1 – 55 lb Log named “Darkness” (Hello, my friend see: #Simon&Garfunkel)
2.75 Miles of Baxter Streets and Trails including Gardenia

This was a modified Coupon Ruck from Spearhead’s 10 Mile Coupon Challenge (OG). Pax rotated the coupons every 5 minutes for the entire hour while we covered approximately 2.75 miles. Each pax had 1-2 recovery periods but still were carrying their 30 lb rucksack. This was a good example of what you might experience in a Goruck event, except it was only an hour and we didn’t have any casualties. It was a challenging hour and we all #embracedthesuck.

NMM
– Cobra Kai and WWL are awesome. Thanks for sharing your toys
– I think this was Bolt’s second ruck and he already looks like a veteran (shocker)
– Crabcakes is too funny. He carries Darkness around like it’s a little baby
– Tclaps to Site Q Corruption on his first ruck
– Tclaps to Cable Guy for not farting the entire time (I think)
– Tclaps to Cornhole for just being Cornhole. Carried Darkness all the way up Gardenia #beast
– Favorite Quote: “What are those homeless guys doing?” as heard from a couple of kids while we marched down Market Street
