12/29 Long Ruck Preblast

Preblast, Rucking

WHO:
This event is aimed at PAX training for a GORUCK Star Course event, but all PAX are welcome. U-Rock will serve as QIC. 

WHAT:
U-Rock has identified seven (7) waypoints and is giving us 4 hours to hit them and get back to ENDEX. Depending on how we plan our route, we’ll cover 13-16 miles. One of the PAX will serve as Route Planner/Navigator. 

WHEN:
Saturday, December 27th @ 0500-0900
We will start on time. Do not be late!

WHERE:
STARTEX/ENDEX: Gravel lot across Farm Road from South Hyde Lake Parking Lot (map pin) 

WHY:
Mainly to build strength and endurance. This is also a great opportunity to test out your gear and nutrition. We’ll be doing one of these long rucks every week until the Atlanta Star Course in March.

WHAT TO BRING:

  • Rucksack
  • Weight (30 lbs if you weigh >150 lbs; 20 lbs if you weight <150 lbs)
  • 3L water bladder, full
  • Reflective bands attached to your ruck
  • Headlamp
  • Smart phone with navigation app is a PLUS
