Today might be better named “Schrute Prep.”
A Pax of 6 gathered this morning in the cool and under a beautiful moon for an early morning stroll around the Historic District. Kotters to Cantore for his appearance out of the gloom. The 40lb sandbag made another visit and was a constant companion for our journey. YHC gave the Mission Statement and Disclaimer and a brief overview of the morning’s festivities. Schrute has informed his Rucking brothers that he intends to sign up for a GoRuck event in late June. With that in mind, YHC devised a plan to help Schrute prepare for said event (he was free to veto the plan at the outset, and modify at any time during the evolution).
THE THANG
Each Pax would take a turn of unspecified time/distance hauling the Sandbag (in addition to his trusty Ruck). Upon a time of that Pax’s choosing, the Sandbag would then be transferred to Schrute. Once Schrute was done with his time, he would pass to a different Pax. Once finished, that Pax would return the Sandbag to Schrute. And so on it went. Schrute took every other exchange of the Sandbag. He was free to carry either individually, or with a buddy Pax as needed. YHC is happy to report that Schrute did not shy away from any of his turns. All Pax had a turn with the Sandbag and were able to maintain a pace which allowed us to cover a distance of approximately 2.3 miles in our allotted time frame of 45 minutes. This pace would be on par with what was encounted by YHC at last year’s Sasquatch (disregarding the final 5k or so) as well as the GoRuck event completed in November 2018. Good conversation was enjoyed by all this morning.
CoT
Pax gathered under gazebo for Count-O-Rama and Name-O-Rama. YHC closed in prayer — remembered include our F3 brethren who posted for the Fartlek this morning. Good luck to all F3 Pax who will be posting for the Bridge Run this weekend.
As a reminder, Thursday’s Black Ops has a Ruck Only Option — Roughly 2.5 – 2.6 miles to be completed in under 45 minutes, with no other Ruckercise. YHC will be happy to be your guide & pace setter if you want to give it a try (as long as I’m in town, not sick, etc., etc.).
