Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Given the current weather situation (and texts received), YHC guessed the lone attender in this morning’s gloom was going to be Dry Rub.
The Good News…. Dry Rub did show.
The Bad News…. No one else did.
Undaunted, we put our packs on and did what we came to do.
45 minutes later and nearly 3 miles we returned.
Much was discussed.
Until next time….
Watts Up Powering Down.
Pledge.
No Warmup
We rucked to Hudson Road and back. On the way out, we stopped at each bank and performed 20 ruck squats and a 30 second ruck plank.
Announcements:
Ville to Ville teams are forming. See Slack if interested in joining a team.
Prayer Requests:
Hunchback’s friend with transplant.
YHC took us out.
Watts Up Powering Down.
0530 hits with 4 joining YHC for his 4th Q in a row.
We knock out The Pledge before heading out on a trek to the yellow and black beacon a ways away (Waffle House).
Every 5:00 minutes for the first half of the trek, we stopped for 10 Merkins and 20 Squats.
On the way back, we stopped once or twice more.
Nuff Said.
Nothing new to announce at this point.
Prayer concerns centered around COVID-19.
YHC took us out.
These are unprecedented times. There is no playbook or even guidance on how to deal with what we are living through. Everyone everywhere is flying by the seat of their pants. Everyone that is, but God. He has this. Look to Him, Pray. Rely on Him. With Him, no matter the outcome, there will be peace and joy forevermore. Together, as a group of believers, we will persevere.
Watts Up powering down.
Met at Snowballs
Pledge of Allegiance
Packs on and we’re off for 3 mile ruck; down Robinwood past Harris Teeter and on through country club area; up to back of Robinson Elem and over to Robinwood and turned for Snowballs to finish up.
COT – announcements; prayer request for Matthew (friend of VooDoo) and Dry Rubs M.
Dry Rub said a prayer for the PAX to complete our workout.
5 men showed on a warm Feb. morning. We rucked from Diablo Sammich to Coconut Horse, took the packs off and did some Swings, Squats, and Halos. All were done for 1min w/ 15sec rest between for 3 rounds. Some people threatened to leave if we did a forth set so we rucked it back to Diablo.
Thanks for having me guys, it’s been nice getting out to some of these morning AO’s.
We rucked and did other stuff too.
Attendance from participation.
The Gastonia PAX are training for many upcoming events: The Mortimer, The Rooster, P200, etc. included in this is a GoRuck Tough (and Light). Many times, an army PT test is incorporated into the the GoRuck. YHC decided to incorporate some of the into today’s Sammich.
We have a FNG this morning, so a semi-complete disclaimer and a summary of the core principles of F3 were covered.
We knock out the Pledge, so now it’s go time.
Before we go ruck, let’s do the Army Push-up and Army Sit-up tests. You have two minutes to do as many reps as possible. There are specific rules on form, rest position, etc. The details can be found online.
A perfect “score” would be 200 points. The minimum passing score is a 60 per exercise per the Army. The score sheets can be found here:
After all had completed the tests, we donned our packs and headed toward Gastone’s hill. Up the hill, stopping at every mailbox on the right for 5 squats. Once at the top, remove your pack and do 25 single count flutters will holding pack over head. 10 upright rows and then put your pack on.
Down the hill, up to the Dollar General, past the Food Lion, over to the wall of the soon to be Planet Fitness. Move your packs to the front and have a seat on the wall.
Recover, 10 upright rows and put your pack back on.
Over to the wall in front of South State Bank for 25 step-ups each leg.
Back to the start for 10 more upright rows to finish it off.
Welcome Peyton Pruitt, now known as Oscar. Hope you continue to come out.
Announcements:
GoRuck training at The Yank Saturday starting at 0600 – Boudin with Q.
