Let’s just get this out there in the open….I was late for my Q, which I excitedly accepted from Cheddah & Trucker. Fortunately, as you would expect, my no show at 5:15 didn’t stop Trucker from running the ruck.

I don’t know if the disclaimer was given or not but given the show of the non-fng HIM that were there to ruck, I doubt it was needed.

By the time I showed, rolling in hot all the way around the Lowes building, Trucker had the pax in peoples chair passing their rucks from left to right and back. What a horrible idea, Trucker, and I’m glad I showed up when I did.

Trucker finished up his horribles and we rucked back, without my influence, to the toothpicks. These toothpicks, if I had to guess, weigh about 300lbs. Maybe more. I don’t know but I do know they are not easy to carry. With that in mind…

For the next 30 minutes our objective was to not let these toothpicks tough the ground. While that goal may sound easy for 300lb rail road ties, we had to complete 4 stations around Lowes. So, with pax divided in three, height did matter, we ventured out. Toothpicks on our shoulders we rucked to corner one and:

5 burpees & 10 squats with railroad tie. repeat until all three finished their burpees.

Ruck to next corner w/ railroad tie and perform 10 merkins and 10 squat shoulder thrust press with railroad ties. This one hurt! Repeat until all 3 did the merkins.

Ruck to next corner w/ railroad tie and perform 10 sumo squats and 10 railroad ties swings (left to right like a hammock). Repeat until all three did the sumo squats.

Ruck back to the pile of toothpicks, which put as at about .5 miles with these coupons, and before we   sit them down, we did 10 curls as a team of three with them. As I type this, 24 hours later, my forearms are still sore from this one.

With about 10 minutes to go, we rucked through the parking lot back to COT looking for new coupons for the next workout.

Back at COT ChickHawk took us out in the typical Chicken Hawk HIMship way.

NMM:

  • Showing up late is never good, especially when on Q. But I’d rather show up late, I’d rather have everyman show up late, than never show up at all.
  • Many thanks to Trucker for leading the pax like he always does.
  • What you put on paper is sometimes best left on paper and not executed. For today, I think the pax did well with these beyond heavy railroad ties.

Announcements: Sign up for the Pathfinder and get ready for GRT!

Always an honor to lead.

WhatDid….OUT!
