PT Test gone bad!
All All MECA BackblastsDecember 20th, 2016
Well where do I begin, Yesterday afternoon a Cadre from GORUCK just so happened to put out a tweet for one of our events next year. And I quote, ” 100 burpees / 1 mile run 50 burpees/ 1 mile run may or may not be one of your many PT tests” After I picked myself off the floor, could have been stretching or could have passed out, fear and excitement set in. Mostly fear but whatever. After about an hour I can’t stop thinking about it. Hmmm maybe I should try it on my next Q. Well not being signed up due to end of the year craziness, I look at the sign up sheet. Waterboy, nice. Quick text; “Got any good ideas for tomorroow yet?” He graciously reply’s with nope you want to take it. Sure do.
Nothing better than facing your fears. Sent out a teaser the night before. 9 faithful including Sugar who showed up 6 minutes early. Warned me better be good.
So here is how it went down. Quick disclaimer and mosey for some quick Warmarama.
25 x SSH IC
25 x IST IC
10 x Windmills
Pause to tell them how much I love them and how sorry I was for what was about to go down. But I just had to know how bad this was going to be.
100 Burpees, I offered to incorporate them in there run but did not tell them that it DQ’d them for the win. Wouldn’t you know it Marie Calendar took off running.
1 mile run upon competion (100) burpees feels like forever)
50 Burpees (After 25 MC talks Ty Webb into taking off…DQ’d) sweet With Sparknut out now I have a shot at the title
Round out 50 maybe two ahead of Sugar but as I’m standing there trying to breath he Mosey’s on past. Shoot oh well.
1 mile run. Meet Sparky at the half mile mark and take it in together. Appreciate the company.
Sugar is your official winner. I could see protests in the future though.
So Proud of Rolling Stone who owned this 30-45 minutes of misery. It is an honor and privelege to tackle a challenge and know this many people are willing to do it with me. Thank you!

Was there 8 or 9. Feel like I’m missing one. Sound off and I’ll add you.
Had fun boys!
Declaring a winner gives me fear that somebody might try to challenge for the title. Please let me know in advance of when that might be so I can… uh… prepare.
The suck factor was high and they may kill me for giving you the q!
Thanks for the Q, Whatley. Congrats to Sugar!
Thanks also to Ty Webb for the 2nd F although the convo dried up that last 1/4 mile.
Next time I want the rules in writing!
Until next time.
I agree with Waterboy, the suck factor was high. On the bright side it makes Sharknado somewhat appealing. Congrats to Sugar for the impressive showing. Whatley, I enjoyed some company on the last half mile. See you all on Thursday.
Yes!! I never win anything!! Have I mentioned that I HATE Burpees! Never in my life have I been so glad to run and I really don’t like running either.
Apparently Marie has been DQ’d from the PAX list also! He’s our missing man.
For real that sucked! Looking at 150 burpees square in the eyes is challenging mentally. Definitely would not do this if everyone else wasn’t either. So happy that Ive got F3 Brothers to do stupid stuff with !!!
Wait…so if I do stupid stuff better than everyone else doing the same stupid stuff, that means I’m really good at doing stupid and pointless stuff, right??!!
Sorry MC you took off so Fast I never saw you. Swear I blacked out a couple of times LOL Really starting to get annoyed Sparknut blowing me off every time I Q. You boys are so ready for GORUCK!
MC I thought Q responsibility was changing the rules as we go along. You and Ty are straight up fast.
Typical Go-Ruck, always changing the rules on the fly. I’ve never done that many burpees in a row before. Don’t plan to ever again. I blame Waterboy for all the terrible things that happened out there this morning.
It was an admitted epic fail on my part decision wise but Hey we would have had Sharknado anyway!
Well I guess I’m glad I didn’t show up to be humbled by the likes of Ty Webb, Marie Calendar, and Sugar again with another redicilois burpee challenge.
Don’t worry that was a check off the list. Not looking for a repeat performance!
