We used to have a ruck in Belmont and it fizzled out over time with different things here and there and there was only four or so who posted anyway, but I always liked it. While rummaging thru Twitter, I came across the Go Ruck Wednesday.
When it came time to get it on, we did a quick warmup: SSH x20IC, Moroccan Night Clubs x25IC, Grass Pokers (for whoopie) x10IC.
Thang: Short mosey across the parking lot and circle up. 10 rounds of 20 squats with hands on head (didnt have a sandbags or blocks), 20 Merkins, 50 Flutter-kicks. Not a whole lot of mumble chatter and we realized Dolph and Sargento need to practice at it. We got thru round 7 and I wanted to get some team work in before Sargento had to roll out, so we mosey to the back of the school for two rounds of something I dont have a name for. One partner would do french fries while the other ran and jumped up the loading dock and did five burpees and ran down the ramp. Repeat x2 rounds with the exercises in the middle changing from french fries to LBCs to Mountain climbers. A fellowship mosey to discuss a few things and then mosey to the start and finish our remaining rounds of the ruckaround. With a handful of minutes left, we set the timer for one minute and each pax picks a workout for a solid 60 seconds….LBCs, turtle crunches, CDDs, jump squats, dying cockroaches. Mosey to the start and finish with wave of merkins to 5.

Announcements – nothing really noted.
BOM – Tophat took us out.
Moleskin – we talked about things happening and Tiny Tank was brought up and how he is moving and his impact that he has had. He is currently the site Q and is responsible for at least five regularly attending pax and a couple of others that show sporadically. We talked about how we need more like him and that we have to step it up to fill the void that will be left by his absence as well as Bulldogs. TT isnt leaving for a while so make sure you come out and post and be the example he has been. We also talked about the convergence at Folsom last Saturday and how awesome it was to have +/-39 guys show up (some at the correct time, others as they felt like it) and sweat with a fellow brother to say goodbye.
