Introduction
Expecting a big crowd I created 2 maps one for the ruckers and one for the runners.
I figured by providing 2 options we’d open up the pathways for both groups.
Warm-O-Rama
SSH IC 25
Willy Mayes Hayes IC 10
Air Squats 10 ct
Calf stretches 10 ct ea calf
The Thang
Runners paired up with one other person, couldn’t run alone and ran out and back through Settler’s park to the electric park bridge. Approx 4+ miles
Ruckers also rucked in groups, out and back to settler’s park across the bridge over the pond. Approx. 2+ miles
Circle of Trust
It’s been a rough week for me, you guys are not making it easy for SLT during RDG, and to be honest I’m really disappointed. I’m disappointed that the CoT’s over this past week have been about reminding men why we do these games, the backblasts that I have read, again, reminding guys why we’re doing this and why reindeer games were even started. They were started for a few reasons, the first was to keep men coming out during the winter months. Another reason was so that we can visit other AO’s, meet other PAX, build relationships, friendships, and have camradarie during our EC3 rucks.
I’m truley disappointed that instead of celebrating small victories we are arguing about points or looking for loopholes in the rules. We just had 2 men that never even thought of themselves as runners finish a half marathon! What Spit Valve and Hanger did was amazing, it has motivated me to want to run a half marathon, I’ve spoken with other PAX that have also been inspired to do the same thing. But instead of celebrating these men we are checking the validity of their miles and points.
Guys, we are all brothers, so next time you’re about to send that message or text to SLT, look at yourself and think about what you are doing, you are questioning your brother’s honor and integrity.

Should have prepared better for such a large group.
Providing 2 maps and having 2 additional site Q’s wasn’t enough.
Some confusion with the number of PAX caused us to scramble and look for 7 additional PAX that were never there, headcount was 48 as we headed out but someone heard 55. 1 tardy PAX brought us up to 49 total PAX.
I hope the PAX took to heart the CoT.
