RandomWanderer Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 It was the most physically demanding thing I've ever done In my life.. And both cadre and alumni said it wasextremely tough compared to most goruck challenges... Class 423..holy shit i got it...When I shook Cadre Stokes hand and got the patch.. It was easily one of the most proud moments of my life.I fell to my knees in the surf, put that patch on, and nearly cried like a frickin girlie man lol..Over Night it was rain, wind, and 35-40 degree weather. Between 1am and 12pm we went in the water 5 times.i'm talking on back scissor kicks, rolling, face in water and also up to your waist. Take your polar bear club andshove it!! We also carried that Pylon for about 8 hours Stokes said. My pack weight was 56 pounds with the full water bladder, I went through that whole 100oz before the half way point but theneverything was wet and sand built up... I'm frickin crazy for having so much weight.Easy day... All Day!This is what one Alumni posted - "Class 423 index... fuck telephone poles, we get a pylon. Out of five GRCs so far, gotta give it to Chris Goruck Stokes for giving us the roughest one."and this is what Stokes said at the beginning -"This is gonna be unlike any challenge you've ever done" - Chris Goruck Stokes Stokes also said that because there were so many alumni in the class( some ofwhich had tried selection and many who had 5-10+ challenges complete)Stokes said he wanted to make it rough to train them for what they wouldsee in Selection... I was the lucky newbie to be a part of that.. LOL.a few pictures are out already, waiting on the main shadow who is a photographer to get his out -it should be easy to spot me as I'm the guy who lost his beanie half waythrough.. in addition to my bladder nipple cap and other stuff LOL.. youdon't have time to shift through the sand trying to find stuff in thischallenge. Bald dude is me.buddy carry! got to carry about 4-5 times as we moved down the beach.scissorkicks... at one point in the night I had to lift my legs up with myhands , even though Stokes told us to keep hands up.. I just literallyhad muscle failure in arms and legsand this was the Pylon....what a beast Assassin: Rank: 6 (Disciple) STR: 10 DEX: 20 STA: 7 CON: 6 WIS: 6 CHA: 5[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Though one may conquer a thousand times a thousand men in battle, yet he indeed is the noblest victor who conquers himself." - BuddhaHeight: 5'9" Weight: 215lbs Age: 34|RW's Chronicle(log)| RW's Introduction|Fitocracy|Challenge| Link to comment
