We had 6 stations of pain where PAX partnered up. One PAX would do the PT while the other PAX would ruck/ruffle to the cone and back. When your partner returned from the cone you switched roles. Each station was 2.5 minutes long. After completing all 6 stations all PAX carried all the equipment to the cone and back. We then started the station circuit again until Mary.
Station 1- Hand Release Merkins, then Ruck/Ruffle either 60# or 80# sandbag
Station 2- Overhead press with 40# sandbag or Coupon, then Ruck or Ruffle no extra weight
Station 3- Clean and Press 40# or 60# sandbag. then Ruck/Ruffle 80# sandbag

Earlier this week on Monday I talked about Audibles during my COT which was ironic as on Monday for my soccer game I had a huge audible that my team and myself needed to deal with. Today I wanted to talk about celebrating or acknowledging those special moments with our kids . Last night in my soccer game one of my players scored her first goal ever in a soccer game. Her celebration was epic after she scored where she ran and embraced two teammates who picked her up in celebration. Our entire bench was ecstatic as well in support of this player. As a coach it was our 9th goal of the game and we won 9-0 however for this player she will remember that feeling and moment for the rest of her life. In a season with plenty of ups and downs I had to remind myself that even though I have won hundreds of games and my players have scored numerous goals, this player will always remember the moment of her first goal. So my message to everyone is that we should remember to celebrate all the moments in our kids lives. What may seem like just another moment to us could mean the world to our kids and it is our job to make sure that we match their level of enthusiasm and emotion as they live in that moment.
We ended in prayer for Unlucky, Jellystone’s mother, and for 1040ez’s mother in law.

Once again I appreciate all the help in putting together yet another ruck club Q. Special thanks to Den Mother, Ozark, and Jellystone for sharing all of their Go Ruck toys for this beat down. With their help we were definitely able to raise the level of suck for the stations of pain. Thanks to Trojan for having my 6 and keeping us on track during the beat down.
Best quote of the day was when one PAX said” well the suck meter is definitely in the red right now”
