3 brave (*dumb) Pax: Diablo, Wham!, and Captain Insaneo (YHC) went for a ruck this am at the O at Seneca Park.
It was raining. Steadily raining. It was 0445. Luckily it was 56*. Gear: rucks, Wham! and YHC had on jackets (maybe we Donald Ducked it. Maybe we didn’t. You weren’t there). Diablo evaporates rain when it hits him, so he just had on normal workout gear. He told YHC he had extra socks. Like that would matter.
We rucked around as EC before Loco’s beatdown at 0530, and here’s a map. What it doesn’t show is the ankle/knee deep riverlets we rucked through. Strong work.
Gear observations: GORUCK Rucker shed water. Inside appears completely dry, although there may be some dampness inside under the top handle, which took the brunt of the water, including off my jacket. Shoes (New Balance Minimus) drained well, but socks were a bad choice. Tough decision on shoe/sock combo in wet weather. Mountain Hardware rainproof jacket was great, but for all the rain stopped, I was soaked in sweat. 🤷♂️ I look forward to any tips and tricks to consider from established Ruckers.
