The evening before the workout I sent out a message on twitter asking who was the Q at Golden Corral for the Ruck WO. I quickly got a response back saying it was wide open just for me. Obviously I stepped up and took the Q. For about the next 20 minutes I thought about trying to put together a winkie, but then I finally decided to wing it since I have participated in several WOs at GC and figured I could put something together. So the moral to my story is don’t post something on Twitter or any other social media where other Pax are that you aren’t willing to lead.
Warmup:
20 SSH IC
10 Windmill IC
10 Hill Billy Walker IC
10 merkins IC – with ruck on
I have participated in quite a few ruck workouts at GC and every time we walk around to the back side of HT/ 9 Round I always think we are going to do something to incorporate the large tractor tire sitting on the sidewalk. Every time we always continued right past it without stopping except for this time.
The Thang:
Split up in pairs and do the following:
1 – partner flip the tire from 9 Round to the end of building and back
2 – squats and run to cones and back – rotate with partner between squats and run until team 1 has finished
3 – LBCs and run – same rotation as #2
Once #1 finished all teams rotated to their next station after 5 Man Makers
Rinse and Repeat until completing all 3 stations
Mosey over behind the Tire Station for a modified version of Dora
100 merkins – with ruck
50 step ups on wall – with ruck
**Initially I called out 100 step ups but realized it would take forever to complete so being Q I modified
5 Man Makers
Gave pax a quick breather while I shared my thoughts on Maturity
Back to the wall for 25 more step ups as a group
DORA 100 LBCs
15 more step ups as a group
5 Man Makers
10 more step ups as a group
After completing 100 step ups we moseyed over to the side of the HT for a 6-10 count wall sit
15 Dips IC
5 Man Makers
After all of this terrible stuff I still didn’t feel like a ruck workout is complete until you have to bear crawl.
Finally it was completed with a round of Homer and Marge until COT.
Honestly I found it to be very fun and challenging to Q on the fly. However I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who has never been to a site to try and do this because it could be an epic failure. With that said I still plan to do some prep work for my Q’s just so I have something to leverage if needed.
Thanks for allowing me to lead and great work by all Pax!
