I think DC would be so meaningful. I do worry about hypothermia though.... But I could totally do a DC ruck. I need a few months to get ready b/c I'm on an active macro cycle for muscle building right now.... LOL (seems funny to say that) I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

LRB Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Just one question: WHY am I even considering this? Am I THAT susceptible to peer pressure? My mom used to ask: "if your friends jumped off the [brooklyn Bridge / Empire State Building], would you?" Maybe the answer really is yes. Because I'm looking at it and thinking - 'hey! I'd love to have done that.'I pledged a (co-ed) fraternity in college, and while NOWHERE near to the same, the sense of camaraderie from going through something together can be amazing (unrelated note: I'm married to one of my pledge brothers).But seriously - I can't even run more than a mile right now. And I hate being sleep deprived. So I think I'll put these dreams/plans on hold and add a GoRuck to my "someday" list, not my "next year" list.

Scooter McGee Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I would so jump of the bridge or the building, as long as I had a bungee chord or a parachute on me lolI just went bungee jumping a few weeks ago. F*cking terrifying, but what a rush. That was the 1st time I used my ruck. Not sure how much it weighed as I don't have a scale, but it was a 10 mile hike round trip to the bridge we bungeed from. It was probably around 30 pounds. My shoulders were killing me afterward.Edit: We took GoPro's and my buddy put together a video. I'll post it here once it's finished. Hopefully today.
