Old Stony Point ruck

Seven intrepid gloom rangers gathered for this cool and breezy morning at Ruckhenge. Flurries started at 5am sharp and so did we. Into Larus with 2 headlamps between 7 of us, just for the challenge. Keeping it on the trails meant being out of the wind which had a bit of a bite to it this morning. We covered 3.6 miles and went a little long. Appreciated the company and the opportunity to discuss the Leave Right chapters, equipping and accountability at coffeerama. Till next time.

What an ice morning! 4 insomniacs met up for a rucking good time and a few miles around the streets and trails of Larus. May have seen a pine shedding some extra weight, thankfully before we arrived. Appreciated having the company this morning and continuing the them of the TFT from the weekend. numbers, names and announcements: Thoughts for the DTHs as they prepare for mission and travels to family this weekend. Followed by Coffeerama and a Q.source discussion on Failure and Teamwork. SYITG

Eight stud muffins gathered at the Stony Point Shopping Center for a frosty trek through Larus Park in this morning’s newest edition of Ruckhenge. Approximately 3.5mi of ground was covered under load and the mumblechatter was supreme. Great to see McRib out for maybe the first time, and the return of Double Mint was highly anticipated. Announcements: THIS SATURDAY – FROZEN TRIANGLE – DOGPILE 6am – The less questions you ask the better. Prayer Requests: Double Mint, DTH, and Broadway all have friends and loved ones battling new cancer diagnoses. YHC took us out and over to coffeerama at Einstein’s.

Four tough guys assembled this morning to blindly follow YHC into the bush, but everything turned out okay. NTB coaxed me to Q Ruckhenge earlier this week and after I agreed, NTB proceeded to telegraph his own fartsacking and then actually did fartsack. NTB did show up after the ruck ended to grab some carbs and coffee. YHC still doesn’t know if NTB’s no-show was genuinely accidental as he claimed or a brilliant piece of performance art. Regardless, I’m grateful to NTB for getting in my grill about Qing an AO I frequent. We covered 2.7 miles of trail, did some walking lunges, bent over rows and…

Eight (8) HIMs braved the frosty weather for a 3.3 mile ruck around the streets, not trails (esp. after buttermilk on Sunday), surrounding SP shopping center. Added in a few hilly Bernies for some variation. Coffeeteria and q.source discussion on an overview of Leave Right was really appreciated, till the next one!Announcements: Frozen Triangle coming up. SOJ takeover continues. Screenshot

A half-dozen HIMs trekked 3 miles through the icy Bon Air streets this morning as YHC had the pleasure of leading another Ruckhenge expedition. At 0500 we headed southbound on McRae and looped around the back of Bon Air elementary on the new(ish) paved trail before making our way over to the Bon Air Baptist parking lot. Once in the parking lot we snaked our way through each parking row, stopping at each end for ascending reps of weighted get-ups. After 8 rounds of get-ups we felt like 36 reps of acting like turtles and recovering from our backs to…

8 Ice warriors braved the frigid temps and posted for a a few miles of streets and trails. We threw in a few sets of farmers carry and…….yes burpees, though not enough to get the MABA lads to their 100 (look for multiple short loops on the map). Great to have a brother from downrange join us this am and to have a continued Q.source discussion about commitment and consistency. Announcements: Look for details about upcoming the Frozen Triangle, Century ride/run and another GTE excursion in 25′ on Slack. SYITG!

Seven gloom warriors got up a little earlier than usual and freshened up with the hottest new holiday cologne, Eau De Tryhard. Here were the highlights and hilarities: The THANG: Welcome back to Rodeo Clown for the ruck portion of our Ruckhenge time together, and nice to have Bromance step up to the plate and join the fun. 0500 hit and PAX did a warm up latecomers loop around the parking lot, returning to the Taco to collect Sandy (60# sandbag). Instructions provided to share Sandy around the PAX for the duration of the ruck – Purple Rain had first honors…

What goes down must come up. It was great to see 9 men out this morning for a rainy 3.5 miles of hilly terrain. Great work everyone. This mornings Q.source was focused (maybe not so focused) on Articulation and Persuasion. Announcements (check slack), Numberama, Names

Six men dressed in all black, and one in light grey, trekked their weighted packs through the frozen tundra of Bon Air for another edition of Ruckhenge. The 20-degree air put an extra pep in our step and we covered 3.5miles before shuffling into Einstein’s bagels for coffeerama and QSource discussion with Rodeo Clown joining while on IR. Great conversations around the topics of Trust (3.3) and Vision (3.4) but nothing was recorded for posterity.
