Due to running short on time we rucked back to the flag for one final exercise. 60×60. I have to admit this was tougher than anticipated. But the gist is that you perform ruck burpees and toss ruck over head to land behind you and repeat as many times as you can for 60 seconds. I enjoyed this and I think I will incorporate it again. 6:15 Hard stop
