Beautiful morning for a Ruck!  I crew knows I like my Ruck Clubs with a bit of PT.  This one was going to be no surprise.

The Thang

Thang 1 – Indian Ruck

Broke into (2) groups.

Group 1 dropped and did 10 merkins before heading to bridge Indian Ruck Style

Group 2 left straight away and did merkins at bridge.

(I like to stagger the two groups to keep from crowding each other on the trail)

 

Thang 2 – Inchworm

We remained in out 2-groups.  Each group lined up facing each other on the bridge all doing a wall sit.

The last man was asked to bear crawl to front of line and assume the wall sit position, before next man started their bear crawl.

Rinse and repeat until everyone is across the bridge.

Thang 3 – 11’s w/ Accountability

PAX broke into partners.  One PAX is to count reps for the other.  We did stationary 11’s with Thrusters and Curls.  PX received their break as they counted for their partner.

Thang 4 – Lunge Walk across bridge

Thang 5 – Tortoise and the Hare

PAX keeping same partners.  Would farmer carry both rucks while their partner droped and did 5 merkins, then sprinted to catch up.  PAX would switch, rinse, and repeat until we got back to flags.  We stopped to regroup with SIX a few times to keep crew together.

 

MARY – Was Lead by our DR guest Geek Squad from Hilton Head, SC.

He brought a few new exercises for F3P to work into our routine.

 

Circle of Trust

MEN, be present, be mindful, and be aware.  There are people all around us who are dealing with things we cannot even imagine.  Recently I have a coworker whose attitude, work ethic, and personally changed.  I noticed this for a few weeks, and then reached out.  I do not know him very well, but he shared that he was in a bad spot and really going through a tough spot.

If anyone sees a friend, neighbor, or associate exhibit similar change, reach out.  It may just save a life.
