RuckIt

LadyShello - what did you wind up doing? Refund or Transfer? I have a good feeling that they will try again next year for Winnipeg based on some conversations that I have had over the last couple of days.

I'm not going to do a refund, I'm going to transfer. First I need to get over my disappointment so I can think straight then I'll figure out which event to transfer to. Rurik - you might consider a Minneapolis event in the future, it's a beautiful city, and not a terribly long drive from Winnipeg.

Yes it was an attendance thing. We had 6 people signed up for the Challenge and 9 for the light. I feel partially responsible, if I hadn't been so busy with course work I feel like I could have drummed up more support - despite the Spartan race being the same weekend. Ha, yesterday at Costco I almost walk up to two Military Police dudes that were there getting something to eat. Yes I am that crazy.

Damn you Spartan - why did you have to be the same weekend.

I know, I just got finished sending some tweets to people about joining and I received the email. I confirmed with Cadre Chad. He said Edmonton mid August has good numbers and will go for sure. Problem is I used all my vacation time for the year. Also I am so bummed, this was my birthday event. I have 8 friends who were going to do it and wound up signing up for the Spartan race (same weekend) instead. It's more well known in Canada.

F***, F***, MotherF***!!!! Winnipeg GORUCK just got cancelled!

My thoughts exactly. But LadyShello is a newbie. This is going to be her first... Of many no doubt. You sure you can't make it? Carpool maybe?

Nothing personally but here's a pic he posted on Facebook along with the caption: Dear Canadia you may try with all your might but I will maintain good hair and just to spite you I will fucking scooter. So, ya. This is going to be a blast!

Bummer! No poopy faces here! I can't wait. Time is ticking we need to figure out a team weight. So far the facebook page is **crickets**. Le sigh.

LOL! I look forward to your post! Here's something fun for you in the meantime.

How about you Rurik? How are the CF style ruck workouts going?

So LadyShello how did the weekend workout go?

Oh, crap! Sorry, I may have forgotten that you are doing the Light. Sorry, I didn't mean to alarm you!

Well you did say it was for the weekend. Naturally you can rest as needed and scale if need be.

This is a good one 5 rounds of 20 rucksters (thruster with your ruck) <-- careful of your shoulder LadyShello 30 x overhead walking lunges (total - not per side) with your ruck 40 x 4 count flutterkicks (so if you start with your left leg that's one, right, left, right, two, etc.) Rest for 2 minutes then... 21-15-9 burpees and push-ups with a crawl in between (ruck on) Do 21 burpees bear crawl 25 feet and do 21 push-ups then military crawl 25 feet back to the start Do 15 burpees bear crawl 25 feet and do 15 push-ups then military crawl 25 feet back to the start Do 9 burpees bear crawl 25 feet and do 9 push-ups then military crawl 25 feet back to the start Rest for 2 minutes then... Front plank for as long as you can while wearing your ruck and finish it off with a 1 mile ruck strap appreciation style (which means you can't wear it).
