Q: Captain Insaneo (YHC)
Pax (7 crazy): Mad Cow, Old Bay, Diablo, Zartan, Face, Red Roof, CI
This is the second Saturday in a row I’ll miss one of our regular workouts. I’m bummed and was last night. But Zartan to the rescue. He suggested we meet up for a Ruck at 0600. So I beep boop bopped it on the Calendar and tossed it on slack figuring we’d have a couple of guys. Then, Red Roof HC’d and Mad Cow (who shares my same conflict today) HC’d. It was on.
I woke up at 4 this morning thinking it’d be fun to make the last mile of the ruck hell. Actually I thought about making the whole thing hell. I’m glad I didn’t.
After loading two 30lb kettlebells (now Satan’s Ballz) and a 60 lb sandbag (Huckleberry, Val, Killmer; I have to stop naming inanimate objects) into my rig, I sped to the Mutt.
Before I got there, about a mile away from the shovel flag and where I planned our normal ruck to stop, I stashed all that stuff. I figured no idiot would try to steal 120 lbs of gear from the side of the road (and for the record, still not wrong). The last mile would be a mutharucker.
Anyway, I was right on time (the Pax thought I’d fartsacked), threw on my ruck and we were off.
Conditions: 51′. Misty precip.
Gear: F3 tshirt grey, GORUCK challenge pants, ladies socks, Newbies, F3Louisville Hoorag. It got hot fast so I lost my jacket asap.
First two miles were great. Right at or below 15 min/mile pace. Fellowship was strong. Did you know Old Bay has a scale model of the Lincoln Bedroom in his house? Did you know we have a Pax member names Doritos? Did you know Red Roof is not only our Nant’an but the inventor of the front pack (patent pending). Did you know Face plans to take a nap today? Did you know I ate an entire basket of pork rinds last night? One of these is a lie. No all of them. No none of them.
Last mile was the Bad Mutharucker Mile. On rotation, one Pax carries the sandbag and one Pax carries the two KBs (SBz). The rest of the Pax rucks. On my call, we stop. Rucking Pax takes off their ruck, gets on their six and flutter kicks while Pax with sandbag does 20 shoulder to shoulder over the head presses and the Pax with SBz does standing shoulder presses. We did this 8-9 times. Fellowship remained strong. The focus was on how much they dislike the inanimate objects, and maybe YHC. Pax arriving for the Hurt drove by and were in awe of our studliness.
Here’s a picture for the history books.
We ended in a circle, but flew quickly to make our various workouts and appointments. Really appreciate these men getting better with me this morning. Give em hell today Pax!
