Seven soggy HIMs braved the Larus Park Swamp for a brisk 4 mile ruck. The local ducks thought we were part of their gaggle and decided to join us for coffee rama. We stretched our minds discussing world history as we powered our way through chapter 2 of The Uses of the Past.

Bringing the Party
2 hearty HIMs brought the party for our morning ruck. Just shy of 3 miles. Good to see House Party back in action.

Virtious Wet Ones
6 HIMs who were not water soluble, gathered in the gloom to conquer 3 miles of rucking throughout Larus Park with an extra jaunt out to Stony Point Mall. In spite of the mud and rain, no man was left behind and no man slipped in the mud. We ended on time with some stretching that may have been mistaken for a rain dance, then closed with our COT. The mumble chatter on the trail was a great prologue to our coffeeteria Q-Source discussion. We bantered about the finer points of the Jester and the M. Turns out we all had a lot of first hand experience with both. All came away enlightened and feeling ready to swim into the day.

Cherry Popp’n Bitc#
8 HIMs joined YHC for his bootcamp VQ. The mumble chatter was dominated by dissertations on the varying applications of the word bitc#. All agreed that it is versatile and multifaceted. We took a cruse down to the river where a few land lubbers experienced some sea sickness as we got the dock a rockin with our tour guide Dora. Last Call rightly called out YHC on time as we were about to embark on another round at the dock. “Yo bitc#, we are gonna run out of time.” So we moseyed back to Twin Team base with a port call at JRHS along the way. This completed our 2.5 mile tour.

Fake it till you make it.
Sometimes it IS your first rodeo.
5 hearty HIMs conquered the darkness with Ruck Star style. YHC (Rodeo Clown) faked it with confidence (only 2 wrong turns) for my Virgin Q as we kept up a brisk pace at nearly 2.5 miles of steamy hills and swampy bottoms. With the PAX begging for more, we returned to the flag with enough time to squeeze in two sets of Merkins – of course we were wearing our rucks. YHC needed the extra practice (learning how to count) as I worked out the kinks with my first Q. Thanks were given in COT for our fellowship and how the PAX supported a brother in his successful quest for employment. Tasty food and beverages at Einstein’s were enjoyed by all. We washed things down with our ever-savory (and sometimes spicy) conversation. High 5’s were exchanged as we headed out to conquer the day!
