All All Things Rucking BackblastsAugust 28th, 2025
Q: heatstroke
PAX: Scrum, Gapper, Gulfstream, Handy Manny
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
Pre-Ruck:
2.25 miles to get the legs warm and the chatter going…barely.
The Thang:
Heatstroke served up a 1-hour beatdown in prep for the upcoming GoRuck Tough/Heavy (Battle of Mogadishu memorial on the horizon). The PAX carried, pressed, squatted, and burpeed their way through:
• Sandbag & ruck carries
• PT grinders (push-ups, squats, thrusters, rows)
• A soul-crushing sandbag suicide finisher 💀
Oh, and since Taylor Swift just got engaged, it was only natural that the playlist was all Swift, all morning. Nothing says “embrace the suck” like grinding out burpees to “Love Story.”
COT:
Prayers for grit and perseverance as the PAX prepare for the upcoming events — and for honoring those who fought in Mogadishu.
Honor the fallen. Train for the living. HC for the GR Events.
