NMM:

Short on pax but great effort. Glad those that made it did. Solomon rucked. Hate it was a short group but glad for the participation we had at the race event today. Knew it would be like this so YHC was committed to the AO. Looks like Tiger is up next week and Breaker Breaker after that!

Be afraid, be VERY afraid!

Tesla out.

GasHouse Steeplechase Challenge

What is it?
The FIRST EVER CSAUP event at the Coconut Horse AO in Gastonia.

When is it?
Sometime in the late summer-early fall.

Why would I want to do it?
If you are asking, you can skip this and go back to your fartsack.

What will it cost me?
Everything if you miss it. Even more if you decide to take the challenge.
However, it will not cost you any money at all.

This will be an event that combines rucking, running, push-ups, sit-ups, and a lot of chocolate milk at the end. The idea is similar to a GoRuck Qualification event and will be held at the Coconut Horse AO at a date to be determined. We will have categories that will have goals for you to hit to qualify (and possibly receive a patch) as far as time and repetitions. All finishers, however, will be eligible for the chocolate milk at the end.

Training Tips:

Do a lot of push-ups.
Do a lot of sit-ups.
Run.
Ruck.
