What did I learn today?

Been a while since I Q’d Ruck Ready and I was ready to get back in the saddle.  I arrived to an already full parking lot at 0430 including a local celebrity FNG.  Do these people even sleep?? After a 3+ mile EC ruck it was time for:

The Thang

Warm up: 1 Burpee for Moses, 10 Good Mornings, 20 Imperial Walkers

1 lap around the Alice Keene Loop stopping for various exercises all while carrying various coupons.

Stop 1: 20 Hallelujahs, 20 merkins (with Rucks)

Stop 2: 20 Curls, 20 Wide Arm Merkins (with Rucks)

Stop 3: Line up on goal line and lunge to center soccer field with rucks in front, ground rucks, bear crawl back to goal line, bear crawl back to rucks, crab walk to other goal line (with rucks), double time back to coupons, 20 bent over rows

Stop 4: Line up on fence for peoples chair with 10 count for each PAX, and BTTW for 5 count each PAX *this is when Spinal Tap got his new nickname of Dr. Evil

Stop 5: Partner up, partner A double time around parking lot while partner B does goblet squats with ruck

Stop 6: back at shovel flag

COT/BOM

Prayed for M’s and friend’s of various PAX, prayed for Moses, prayed for students finals, prayed for those traveling during holidays

Moleskin

2 takeaways from today’s workout that I will use to improve upon on future Q’s:

1. When trying to manage a large group its a good idea to appoint a team leader like is done during Go Ruck events.  Shout out to Bedpan for taking on this role today without being asked.  This is a future leader of the community helping remind PAX and Q to stay together and share in carrying the coupons.
2. Never let the 6 finish alone.  This is what F3 and Go Ruck is all about.  This is what we tell potential FNG’s when they try to say they need to get in shape before they come to a workout, “No Man Left Behind”.  Thanks to Bono for reminding the PAX and the Q of this important principle.

Great Push by all PAX and I had a great time leading as always.  Let’s do it again next Tuesday!
