Coupons were staged at 4:15. 9 PAX showed up for 2 miles of EC.
Vanilla was informed he would be the 1st TL so at 5:15 it was game on. We let Tonka and Abu do all the SSHs, Good Mornings, and Broga. This is Ruck Ready and we were ready to ruck. 1st evolution – Carry 80# bag, 2 60# bags, and 2 40# bags half mile with a 8 minute time hack. We rolled until the S curves. Time achieved at 7:31. Vanilla great job but in my best Trump voice – You’re fired!
Team 1 TL – OTown / Team 2 TL – Cold Cut
Flag was planted in the middle of the field. Team 1 would Bear Crawl there and back while Team 2 performed Manmakers and flapjack. All reps must be performed together to count. Competition ensued. IT PAYS TO WIN! Team 1 won round 1. Round 2 Army Crawl and Burpees. Team 2 won. Tiebreaker was Get-ups and Seal Crawls. Team 2 was victorious. TLs fired. Great job!
Lynard was assigned next TL and the objective was to ruck the coupons back to the SP beating the previous time of 7:31. Mission accomplished…7:29.
Losers of the competition were handed the 80# bag while the winners took the 60# sandbag. Sandbag toss race from pole to pole. The 80# toss team actually won in a photo finish. Winners did 5 No Surrender Get-ups while losers completed 10.
Matlock was appointed the next TL. This half mile we would carry a log, a litter, and 2 poles. PAX were instructed to really concentrate on their LOG CARRY TECHNIQUE. Yes runners, there is such a thing. Time hack was 9 minutes. Done…8:33.
7 PAX carried litter with 110# bag to woods and back while other 7 and YHC found THE LOG. Each PAX called cadence on the log pickup and put down. Flapjack.
8:33 to make it back to the flag. Done…8:30
Just enough time for Joker’s signature Flutter Kicks
6:15

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather have those because we acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, the, is not an act but a habit.”
I think Aristotle was a RUCKER!
