Tag: #ruck

  • Ruckuccino

    Somme HIMs got really excited about cheering on Trav and Tay-tay last night and that enthusiasm drove 7 of us to meet at the stop sign at 0530 and ruck for an hour. We traveled throughout RounTrey for 3.5 miles. Coffee was consumed, conversations were had, world problems have been solved (theoretically).

    Nice morning to put some light work in between Alamo and the other AO’s we will conquer this week. There is interest in doing this consistently, so in between our First Tuesday of the Month Rucks, we will meet at the stop sign on Camdale Dr & Bellstone Dr in RounTrey at 0530 for those interested in coming out! Message me for more details. Free parking @ Rudy’s

  • Reservoir Ruckers

    10 Reservoir Ruckers of the SOJ variety made their way to Sunday Park on a Tuesday to start October with a Ruck. This is the start of a monthly ruck group that will meet the first Tuesday of each month. Each month we will rotate the route throughout SOJ and will drop a pin and details in slack.

    The THANG:

    Jackets or no Jacket? 70% change of getting wet but headed out in a mist around Swift Creek Reservoir following the golf course paths and back on Brandermill Parkway. 2-40 pound sand packs were being passed around in addition to our rucks as we made our way through 3.38 Miles at a 18 minute mile pace coming into Sunday Park in 60 minutes.

    COT: Finished with Numbers and Names and YHC closed us out in prayer.

    Find the next Ruck in November for your chance to earn a series of patches that Crabgrass has developed to commemorate the times had on the trails.

    Announcements:

    October 25-27: Family Camping Weekend in Amelia

    November 2: Daddy/Daughter Dance @ The Crossing. (SignUp Genius is being circulated)

  • Anniversary Wood

    13 lucky brothers accepted the DTH call to celebrate the DTH/Draper 6 year F3versary – 11 rucking, 2 running. Here’s how the 11 hefted PAIN around Rockwood:

    The THANG: 

    With final ruck lending/situating complete, Chaplain and House Party taking off for a romantic jog around campus, and rucker headlamps ON, the PAX took off at a brisk pace down the gravel road to The PIT. The PAX arrived to find the gate open and logs uncovered, they chose PAIN (14’ telephone pole size log), leaving CHAOS with the stack of 6-8’ cabers. YHC provided a brief welcome and disclaimer – plenty of guys and choosing only one log so only get under it if you feel comfortable doing so!  5 HIM’s led by Rodeo Clown shouldered the log and the PAX ventured out into the woods of Rockwood. YHC chose a smaller loop path and the PAX switch places under the log about 4 times during the 0.7 miles trek. PAIN was returned to its berth, and the PAX took off for the same loop at high speed carrying inly their rucks. Mumble chatter was plentiful and of high cheer. With time to spare the PAX continued from the woods loop to include a speedy trek around the full driveway loop of Rockwood, stopping periodically for the SIX, doing Squats or Lunges while waiting. The PAX returned in time to bid farewell to Warby leaving at 0645, and then returned to the PIT to pull out the 6-8’ cabers for the 7am Rock&Roll bootcamp. BTTF for COT, numbers, names, prayer, and group picture with an AWESOME F3 banner sported on the DTH-mobile.

    Prayer Requests:

    • The M of Katniss has been hospitalized for the last month after issues resulting from the birth of their firstborn – please lift this man up in your prayers!
    • Chaplain’s MIL 
    • Banksy’s boss lost his Mom
    • Rodeo Clown’s nephew Alex has been homeless with addiction issues

  • 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.

  • What ticks?

    Ticks can’t swim. 12 opted for the red pill this misty morning not quite knowing what was in store—rain or more rain. We traversed 3.2 miles of streets and trails (maybe some grassland) at a fair clip this morning. Good conversations were had about the business of running Kingdoms, including the importance of Getting Right, which all starts with the King and Queen (Q1.2-1.3). YHC really appreciated the opportunity to share in thought and spirit with everyone today. SYITG

    F3RVA – 10 year convergence weekend ahead! See the pre blast for details https://backblasts.f3rva.org/2024/08/20/f3rva-10-year-anniversary/

  • Thick as pea soup

    On a foggy morning, 8 gentlemen came out to run, walk and ruck at various different paces and routes.

    No one got too lost.

  • Ruck N Roll

    A terrible backblast title…….but an excellent workout this morning! Draper and I hit the streets at 6am sharp. The route took us through the paved trails, and we made a stop at the lake to check out the sunrise. Lots of large birds about! Excellent conversation with my WEAG brother.

  • Trail Blazing the Source

    A dozen Ruckhenge enthusiasts jumped aboard the Q train for a 3 mile ruck and discussion of all things, with a focus on the 5 Foundations of the Q Source. Sounding like a gaggle of school girls the PAX followed YHC on some new paths to get us up to Stony Point Fashion Park, then the wide loop around Larus Park. Oyster, master of the orgasm lap, played Duck Duck Goose around COT to ensure he achieved the full 3.0 miles. All 12 PAX stuck around for Einstein coffeerama and phenomenal Q Source discussion. For those interested in jumping aboard the Q train, we’ll be doing this every Wed at 5am for quite a while. Next discussion will cover Q1 “Get Right” overview and Q1.1 “DRP” – links below for reading or listening. Yours AYE! ~DTH

  • The Lost Boat Slips of Tarrington

    No runners today – but luckily I always have my ruck loaded and ready to go. 3 distinguished gentlemen hit the surprisingly busy streets of Rockwood Park at 6am sharp. We did the full paved nature trail and approximately 2 laps around the main road. Great conversation that included the Tarrington neighborhood; which inspired the backblast title, as well as alcohol (types and where to consume). We had a quick pace and the sweat was flowing with the high humidity. The PAX made it back in under an hour, just in time for the Boberry/Rubble beat down. As always, it was an honor to lead.

  • goyne for a ruck

    A morning hike through the neighborhoods to see if we could EH anyone. The 6 burly men probably scared everyone off because no one was around. There is good potential for members from several of the surrounding neighborhoods. Rucks are good advertisement to draw them in. A good 3 mile trek to gave me time to think about the pain I could deliver for the iron bridge. Thanks for the conversations and company, it was a great way to warm up.
