The Derecho after the Storm

Respects won the day, as 9 runners and 3 ruckers posted at Ground Assault for the Derecho route.  This route, named after our first running AO, takes PAX up the hill in front of the Storm, and across the campus of the Storm, spending ample time on the hills around the Storm AO.

From our F3 Gastonia Historian, Roscoe: “Derecho was started on 2/26/2016 as a running AO, the region’s first running AO.  It ended around January 2017 due to low(ish) attendance with the idea to move to Martha’s House Wednesdays to have a running workout parallel to the main bootcamp that day.”

I just remember posting once and running that stupid hill over and over and over again.

Anyways, the wind stuck around, Virus and Roscoe are fast, Alma Mater was late.  All in a good day.

Moleskin:

One year in, and Ground Assault is going strong.  The strength lies in the men that consistently post, specifically Virus, who has done a great job as Site Q, Anchorman and Dr. Seuss, who developed the ruck route and the standard for rucking at Ground Assault, and Gavel and Termite, who have been there nearly every week since the beginning.  It’s a good run, with trains as wild cards that will ultimately determine when you get back, and good timing for a potential early Coffeeteria on a weekday.  If insomnia hits on a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, come give it a shot.  Not even The Sword wraps up earlier.

Grateful for the opportunity to lead a fine group of old guys.
