Ruckership and Fluttership

THE SCENE:
I rolled into the Cockpit early to see if I could map out a good 200m stretch for this morning’s Thang.  As I entered the park, 4-5 cars were leaving it.  A few minutes later Millington’s Finest came in, looked around a bit, and then left.  I wondered if they were late for the drug deal or early for the beatdown.  Turns out it was the former.  Their loss.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
Obviously.

WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH x31 IC.  Extra rep to sow the seed of doubt that would be harvested during Mary.
Daisy Pickers x15 IC
Imperial Walkers x15 IC. Cobains to Soulja Boy that these were not ISW.
Windmills x15 IC

Ruck up and move to the walking path.

THA-THANG:
April Goruck Challenge – Workout #2 of 7
Complete 5 rounds of the following:

10 Walking Ruck Lunges (2=1)
10 Plank Pull Throughs
10 Overhead Presses
Ruck 200m Ruck 1/4 mile (because the parking lot wasn’t long enough and it was easier to just break the 1/2 mile track into halves)

We were at the far end of the park at the end of the last round so we tacked on another 1/4 mile to bring us back to STARTEX.

MARY:
Flutter Kicks x50 IC  (groaning started in earnest at rep #32)
ABCs IC
WWI Situps x20 IC
Nolan Ryans x10 IC (each side)
Hold Plank until 0615 (approx. 20 seconds)

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 PAX:  Choker (QIC), No Fuego, Short Timer, Soulja Boy, Tree Hugger

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A couple of takeaways from last Tuesday’s KotB Neverland Coup:

  1. Don’t be afraid to set stretch goals.  Everything is impossible if you don’t try.
  2. We have a big pool of guys in town that have posted a few times but are not active.  They need us, and we need them.  Pick out one or two of those guys that showed up last week and reach out.  Let them know their presence is missed.

MOLESKIN:
If you’re going to arrive early at the Cockpit, use the buddy system.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Soulja Boy tried to EH us into a Dreddless GrowRuck 15.
