- QIC: Stabler
- Pax: Garcia, Landline, Padre (DOUBLE RESPECT), Patch (RESPECT), Ratched, Stabler
YHC had to bail on Skynyrd the last time I had the Q at #116 so was anxious to get back on the calendar. Upon pulling up to #116 a little before 0600 for EC, YHC was curious to what kind of crowd there would be as I knew Skynyrd was out and we had a few badasses tearing up the HTL in Charlotte. Was happy to see Patch, Padre, Ratched, LandLine and Garcia for EC. Took off and got a little over 3 miles and circled back at the flag a little before 0700. No more PAX showed up so disclaimer given and then we were off!
YHC wanted to really focus on legs today as with the upcoming Raleigh tough event at the end of the month and around 13 PAXs participating, I think that making sure our “legs are under us” is going to be crucial for that event so YHC let the PAX know that today would be 116 “Leg Day.” Rucked towards the ECU parking garage. On that route, PAX would ruck one block, then shuffle a block. That would be a rinse and repeat all the way to the parking garage.
At the garage, PAX met at the bottom of the steps. PAX would participate in a series of exercises while one PAX would run the entire staircase. Exercises would continue until PAX member got back down to the bottom. Each PAX would take one trip up the stairs. Exercises included;
Ruck Curls
Overhead Press
Ruck Bench Press
Tricep Extensions
Squats
Monkey Humpers
After getting our stair work, met at the bottom of the ramp for a little ramp shuffle. PAX would shuffle to the next level. At the top of that level, PAX would perform 40 squats. Rinse and repeat and each level for a total of 160 squats. Once at the top, PAX would run down the stairs back to the bottom for round two.
For round two, instead of shuffling the ramps, PAX would alternate between bearcrawls and lunges. At the top of each ramp, PAX would perform 40 monkey humpers.
YHC thought the PAX had enough of the parking garage so took off towards #116 via 10th St. to Evans to Greene with the same one block ruck, one block shuffle routine. Circled up at the flag right at 0800.

Moleskin
Great push by the PAX today under much cooler, and very welcomed, weather. Logged nearly 7 miles between EC and Leg Day. A lot of PAX have been working hard to get ready for certain events, like BRR or a GoRuck event. If you’re one of those guys, great work… if you’re not, you need to be so find an event, get other PAX to join you, set your goals and knock them out of the park. The accountability is there, the teammates are there. Just commit and don’t quit! Until next time…
Stabler Out
