YHC arrived at the AO in weather that could only be described as “suck it bros”. 8 other PAX joined – including a visit from Thick Burger. Chatter on the rucking Slack brought him out and Whatley was nice enough to decide to lead the stroll. Sugar joined them.

DISCLAIMER and then we split into our groups. The ruckers hit the greenway while YHC lead the runners to WARMARAMA.

Mosey to the rock at HRMS and do the following:

All IC X 10

• Windmill
• Cotton Pickers

THE THANG

The goal was to do as many 800 meter runs as time would allow with about a 2 minute walk in between. The goal pace would be the target 1/2 marathon pace – 15 seconds. So, if you were wanting to run a half-marathon with a pace of 8:30, you’d half that (because 800m~1/2 mile) which is 4:15 and then shave off 15 seconds resulting in a target time of 800 meters in 4 minutes.

5 rounds were completed and then we returned to the AO

MOLESKIN

• What you do echos…the performance of GoRuck Selection’s “011” started a chain of events for a lot of folks…one example: Thick Burger showing up with a backpack and some bricks. After trying Whatey’s Rucker he will no doubt make the switch and be able to shove some of Spauldini’s plates in there – like a winner.
• Ran into Ty Webb on my way to the AO. When offering him a ride: He cursed rucking and ran away before I could tell him most of us were running.
• Great work by every body today.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9
