Despite somehow finding my way into the Palmetto 200 this year, I have said many times I am not a runner and I have the Strava timeslips as proof. I know running is great cardio, but I have also learned rucking is a good way to get benefits similar to running without the impact, not to mention the 2nd F component.
I was already thinking about it when Whoopee kicked off Diablo Sammich earlier this year. Seeing the early success there further reinforces that guys are interested in this!
As the saying goes, “if you want to do it, Q it”….so I will! After talking with Stroganoff, Sister Act, Roadie, Whoopee, and a few others, I am pleased to announce F3 Gastonia’s 2nd Rucking AO will be launching 4/21/19!
It will leave from Ingles in Dallas at 6:15 am for one hour and end at 7:15 am each Sunday. It will be alligned with Crossroads, similar to the Gashouse/Painlab setup. We will share a COT and be able to join together for Q-Source.
I will serve as site Q and take the Q on the 21st, but I will be looking for men to step up and lead weekly. This is intended to be an organized ruck workout. There will be simple rucking, but we will push the pace (no running though!). We will also include coupon work, heavy carries, obstacles, and whatever else we can come up.
So the name….I love the Smokey and the Bandit-themed name of Diablo Sammich and thought it would be cool to keep that 80s car-chasing/TV-Movie theme. Of course, we need that “North of 85” flair. I mentioned my name suggestion to a few guys and all were in agreement I had THE right name! The name be The Boars Nest, in reference to the the legendary watering hole from The Dukes of Hazzard. (It may be noted you can also buy Boars Head meats at Ingles).
So, get your sack in order and join me on the 21st!!!!
