AgentsSka Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Few shots from the weekend. Love this next one because - yes, elbows. But, also, look at the effect of my elbow on the pugil stick - the other end is in his groin! And... determined face. Also - knowing full well, I'm getting hit again.

cline Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 elbow the gladiator!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the look on your face in the last one! I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

AgentsSka Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I got me some new gear. I picked up a new hydration pack that is so much lighter than my hiking pack & should hold just what I need for the Beast. The Camelback Octane XTC. I ran with it at the stairs today and it felt good. Not a ton of movement & it didn't feel like I was running with a damned ruck. And, I got it from Amazon for $70. Score! Still felt like shit today... but, it wasn't the packs fault. Fucking humidity.

Because if I don't have to run with a ruck - I'd prefer not to. Also, I'm a minimalist at heart. Minimalist gear makes me happy. Now... a ruck during a rock. I won't complain about it. At least during the ruck. Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies.

Maledictus Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 RECAP! -- Quest for the Spartan Trifecta!~~~NOTE: Copied from Original Post. New text is in red. the week I was off running around with my kids on vacation. If I removed that week from the calculation, I'm at 95% completion. That, plus my finishing stats, and I feel like I earned an A on this one. But, I didn't specify the week off in my original goals. I need some input from you all. What say you?? I say if you're not doing all this in order to be able to run round with your kids, you're missing the point of it all. A+ Nice pics.

Croman Red Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I think the overall goal was to get some wins under your belt this time around, and you did that in spades. Who cares about slavish adherence to a plan when you over-achieve anyway? Unless slavish adherence to the plan is the goal, in which case you need to spend more time running around with your kids.

Unless slavish adherence to the plan is the goal, in which case you need to spend more time running around with your kids. ^^^^^And this! A seriously kick ass challenge and a well deserved A all around. Hell, I'd give you an A for the challenge just for elbowing the gladitor and that look of "Bring it!" before the last gladiator takes a swing at you. Then, I'd give you extra credit for the crotch shot to gladiator as well. This judge says A+.
