Who brought the kettlebell?

YHC, Patch, The Little Mermaid, Jock Itch, Bench, BJ, Lynard Skynyrd and Fruity Pebbles showed up at 0440 for some EC mileage.

As we were heading back to the flag before the beatdown, YHC had a couple of different ideas in mind. YHC put a message out to twitter asking for some sandbags, and Ma Bell, BJ, and Bench all came through. We had more than enough coupons for what I had planned, but I didn’t plan for 16 PAX to show up. My original plan works better with 8-10 PAX, so YHC called an audible and will save the original plan for another time. We circled up, and YHC instructed that we were going to get some coupon mileage today. We had multiple sandbags, some filler bags, a kettlebell, and of course BJ’s candy cane.  Coupons would be on a rotation. YHC counted us off into two teams, and each team would ruck side by side.

Warmup

We started rucking

Tha Thang

First we rucked down to the parking lot at Wintergreen. At the end of the parking lot, we dropped the coupons and performed the following:

• 5 squats
• 10 merkins
• 15 ruck curls
• 20 4-count flutter kicks w/ ruck overhead

We picked up coupons and headed back towards Alice Keene. We rucked through the nature trail, stopping once to perform the aforementioned exercises, and ended up at the concession stands. Dropped coupons, dropped rucks. Lined up on the wall and assumed the peoples chair position. We passed the Kettlebell down and back once. On the backend, some decided to add a level of difficulty to this by doing figure 8’s with the KB when it got to them. Then we did BTTW, passing the KB down and back (more like slide the KB to the next person).

Rucks on, Coupons up, Made our way back to the flag the long way. Then we dropped coupons at the flag, and did a couple of laps at the opposite end parking lot, shuffling one side, and moseying the other side. And then met back at the flag for:

• 10 Squats
• 10 Merkins
• 10 overhead ruck presses
• 20 4-count flutter kicks w/ ruck overhead

Next we had PAX choice Mary, with a combo of J-Los, SSH, Windshield Wipers, V-ups, and WWI’s. YHC called on Tapped to do flutter kicks at the end, but right when he was going to get started, YHC called 0615.

This was my first time Qing a ruck workout, and it clearly showed. YHC struggled initially getting the PAX organized with the coupons and it took a little while for that to get corrected, but eventually it did. The mumblechatter was great, and always is at #RuckReady. The coupons added another level of difficulty to the ruck, which is what YHC was going for this am. Thanks again to BJ for the opportunity to lead! Until next time…

Chimi Out!
