A nice 40 degree morning met the 9 Pax that ascended on the Golden Coral for the Ruck workout lead by YHC. With the weinke ready and the disclaimer given by Senator Tressel, it was time to get to work.

A quick ruck march to the front of the doctors office for the warm up:

• Windmills x10
• IW x10
• Cotton Pickers x10

Now that we were loose, we marched over to the church parking to start the fun.

The Thang

The workout consisted of 4 missions being completed within 30 minutes. If all 4 missions cannot be completed then there will be a penalty of 20 Man-Maker Burpees (No Thank You)

We start at The Barracks (aka MIddle of parking lot) and complete the following:

• 10 Ruck Swings
• 10 Curls
• 10 Squats
• 10 Merkins

Subsequently, after each mission you go Back to the Barracks complete these exercises before heading out for the next mission. The missions were as follows:

Mission 1:

Head over to the Hill by the Cell Phone Tower and count off by 2. Group 1 holds a plank while Group 2 heads up the hill, performs 1 Burpee and returns to the bottom and switches with Group 1. This will continue until each group has been up the hill 5 times.

Mission 2:

Everyone’s favorite: Catch me if you can around the island of the Church Parking Lot. Must complete 2 laps.

Mission 3:

Pax will pair up and complete 200 flutters (Double Count) while holding ruck while there partner holds their Ruck overhead. Pax will switch every 25.

Mission 4:

Pax will form a single line around the circle in front of the church. Pax will then bear crawl around the circle twice.

With only a minute to spare, all Pax completed the final Barracks workout. No penalty.

We finished the workout about 10 minutes early (had to pad the timing in case we had to complete the penalty),we marched to the back of the Harris Tetter. Here we removed the ruck and finished the march to COT while holding the ruck overhead.

Thanks to Cobra Kai for the opportunity to lead and for all the work put in by the Pax. I am constantly amazed, and humbled, by the tenacity of the Pax to tackle any challenge I put in front of them. Today was not different.

Until next time, back to the Hunt….
