Tinsel out…
14 HIM #RolledOut instead of #RollingOVer on the 2024 Leap Day. After a brief disclaimer we noted 1 FNG–Sergio Franco- Soon to be named quite perfectly XciteBike.
Off we went headed up the road into the shopping center where opportunity stuck and stairs were found to traverse up and down. As the legs warmed up the pace quickened for most. Rucking with/beside @Bonzi really requires a stretching of the stride, and man we were cooking.
Into the apartments for some quick planks as the group caught up then some squats and we were off again. Back up and down the stairs then shot up over 160 in the office complex. We had a nice jaunt over to #The-Coachs-Box to say good morning to @Cyclopes &Co. In route I stopped the train for some over head holds, OH presses, and curls. As the group filed in a caught up on reps it was time for a quick message. With Rucks held High- I drew from Tony Dungee’s book Uncommon Life and talked about how Failure while it does suck, ( so does holding a ruck overhead) it does not have to be a big stumbling block for us as Pro’s, Dads, Husbands ect. We all agreed that we fall into the trap of getting too down in these instances. What TD reminds us is we can be energized by our failures. The SkyQ made us this way. Use them as growth and learning opportunities, get energized knowing we won’t make that mistake twice. AT this point arms began to shake and it was time to roll.
On the move YHC noted a fantastic parking lot and strongly recommended a ruck shuffle from the entry to the 90 degree corner. Mumble chatter surged, as Duck(s) typically don’t run , but this day I/We did. Around the corner and Cyclopes &Co were nowhere to be found. Guess they felt running ruckers converging on them and took Flight.
Around the school and back toward the EndEx. Across 160 and another Ruck Shuffle through the Panera Parking Lot. I said 3 medians but ran 4-Noone said Ducks were good at counting , esp while on the run.
Couple quick laps and little more shuffling and we hit 0600. My watch said 3.63 miles at a 14:46 Avg–Not to Shabby.
Pledge of Allegiance-Announcements, Praises& Prayers.
Great Rucking in the Gloom with these Men.

YHC’s first ruck Q ever. Thanks to Esso for letting me borrow his ruck. Tried to be mindful of the guys that showed up to just ruck miles here or maybe take it lighter, but still wanted to make it challenging. I also didn’t realize that Sofrito was nursing up foot injury
So we took a short loop around the Kingsley lake and did a little PT (5 merkins, 10 squats (some Bulgarian)) on a frozen bridge. Then we hoofed it back to the other Kingsley loop where I had preset 4 sandbags. PAX had a fun time, discovering that there was more than one waiting for us. I also didn’t call more than just five man makers with a ruck on and the sandbag (those are hard). It was finding and carrying the hidden kettlebells at the end that was a special delight
Made it 3 miles (which I didn’t realize was a minnow pond esque quota); now I know
Honestly, I wasn’t sure it was challenging enough, but Duck was sweating bullets at COT. Maybe that was just cause 2/1/2024 his 42nd birthday 🥳
Got in a bit of leg work and by the end most everyone was carrying upwards of 90+ pounds. Thanks Maximus and Battle Bot for letting me swipe the sandbags at Kitchen Sink yesterday
