Date: 2025-02-21 AO: donut-ruck Q: geraldo PAX: Broken Arrow, hoover, Roulette, wildturkey, Focker, Horsehead, snowflake, grasshopper, taggart, Starch, Cheese Curd, boerewors FNGs: None COUNT: 13 WARMUP: None THE THANG: It started with a YHC going down the GORUCK gear rabbit hole and found a cool Back To The Future themed patch. The patch was for sale but had to be earned with a time hack, 12 miles in 3:30 hrs. Challenge accepted. The usual suspects & some “ruck curious” pax stepped up to the challenge. Broken Arrow came up with routes, 2 loops of each would get us the desired mileage and allow for Pax to join us along the way for fewer miles if they chose to do so. 9 Pax completed the challenge well ahead of the time hack.
– Broken Arrow absolutely crushed it, 13.1 miles in 2:38 – Focker decided to hang with Broken Arrow for a few laps and killed it – Cheese Curd not satisfied with 12 miles got his self-imposed monthly half-marathon. – grasshopper had an impressive showing with joining Cheese Curd for his longest ruck to date. – Starch kept us all safe with his highly reflective safety ruck and also completed 13 miles. – wildturkey was loving it – Roulette pushed through a blister and keeps getting stronger – hoover ensured he hydrated during the 12 miles by having is “spinach” – taggart joined us for a bit and enjoyed some recovery beers while we finished the remaining laps – snowflake started the evening off with a lap or two – boerewors knocked out a few laps with us in jeans and educating us on South African meats – Horsehead completed his longest ruck and keep the Pax fueled with Twizzlers – The finishers capped off the night with beers, burgers and bourbon at The Lodge – Thanks to all who came out tonight and stay tuned for a Brew Ruck in the near future MARY: None ANNOUNCEMENTS: None
