A couple of early risers emerged from the darkness for the earliest of rucks (04:20 start time) at our Loco Motion AO!
we had plenty of discussion and discovery going on as we traveled the outermost parts of the schools landscape before getting into the tree line. Great idea to get a ruck in pre gloom Commando! Always a pleasure! Way to get those miles in!
2 Mammoth Champions emerged from the gloom for a hot kettlebell endeavor! Commando got an early start with a ruck before YHCs arrival. We enjoyed the lunar halo above the park for a brief moment!Let’s put ol YHCs memory to the test with the dime pounder routine that took place.
Warmarama was in the fashion of OYO to keep the mumble chatter flowing. Grab the Kettlebells and head for the field!
Kettlebell Dime Pounder:

Great workout this morning Commando! Thanks for coming out!
2 rucking machines made quick work of a 3 miler this gloom! YHC showed up all warm and snuggly with coffee in hand, but can’t speak much for Choo Choo’s experience.
We’ve reached the point of 30 lbs being too light and unnoticeable, time to add some more poundage to our packs!
It was a pleasure marching around the neighborhood with you Choo Choo!
Don’t forget your flag!
2 Iron Haulers emerged from their fartsacks for a pre Lumberyard EC Ruck and unknowingly set a rather quick pace while having some great conversation. The 2nd of 3 miles was recorded at a 15:53/mi pace. It was nice to see our Saturday crew rolling in ready to go!

2 quadzillas emerged from the gloom for a warm weather run at AO Iron Haul! There was an early start and late finish on the morning to log some extra mileage and Choo Choo threw in merkins at the nature signs logging nearly 200 Merkins while YHC ran ahead and backtracked to stick with the Chooch. A lot of mumble chatter, farts and bubbly guts were taken record of.
It was great to have company this morning to really push ourselves! Way to push Choo Choo!

One lonely Beaver emerged from the gloom for a ruck with ignite coffee in hand to keep the core warm. Unfortunately, the yeti couldn’t help keep the fingers warm (downside to yeti’s).
Keep your eyes and ears peeled, there may or may not be an EC ruck this evening if anyone is up for it.
Have a great week men! SYITG!
2 patrons of the New Kent F3 gathered late for some EC ruck time. YHC rolled in late due to taking care of some 2.0 needs while Commando was able to take care of some work related items while waiting. We logged a good 1.5 mi and caught up on the latest. Great to spend some time with you Commando!
