“Highway to Hell, Part 2: Trust the Asian to Do Math”
QIC: Wiseguy
PAX: Florence, Iron Horse, Safety, Hawkeye, Slowhand, Catfish, Man Guy, Rico Suave
Lord’s Prayer @ 0525
Highway to Hell, Part 2
I brought this gem back to life. We left off with Round 46. This time we went counterclockwise on the soccer field. ICYWW, the soccer field perimeter is approximately 1/5 of a mile.
Reminder: Rico Suave picked the Joker so we started with 49. It could have been worse. Peter Pan was there at the time.
Wiseguy Warmup: (one lap around the soccer field):
- Forward jog
- Back-pedal
- Shuffle
- High-knees
- Butt kicks
- Carioca
- Hip circles
Four corners (in order):
1) Deadlifts
2) Ruck squats
3) Ruck pushups
4) 4-count flutter kicks with ruck over chest
Total reps:
178 x ruck pushups
178 x ruck squats
178 x deadlifts
178 x flutter kicks
Approximate mileage: 0.80 miles
For Rounds 46 and 45, we did it the standard way.
Hawkeye and Guns n’ Roses were the two tardiest PAX this morning. Hawkeye seemed like he wants to take Pebbles‘ “Fashionably Late” title away from him this year.
During Round 44, Hawkeye was the casualty. His ruck had to also be carried
During Round 43, Guns n’ Roses was the casualty. His sandbag had to also be carried.
Debrief:
- For the pushups, especially, I split the reps up a bit and needed to do a little Asian arithmetic. Ruck pushups are no joke.
- Pro Tip: Don’t be late! You might be the next casualty!
- There will be more curveballs like this thrown your way. This is just the beginning! Before you know it, we will be heading into Round 1. But it will be the hardest 1 repetition ever…
- On the next iteration of this workout, we will leave off with Round 42.
COT:
- Man Guy brought up an interesting point. Whether or not I had prescribed 99 pushups or 1, you would be more inclined to push yourself to do them with everyone else around you. Misery loves company in a weird sense.
- My AAR of this past weekend’s GORUCK Tough/Light should be published tonight, barring no emergencies at work. It is essentially done, I just need to edit it. It is not short, but there are many pictures to help detract from the lengthiness.
- This Sunday, I will be rucking a fast 12 miles and then do all four D-Day workouts at Leon/Cascades. The start is at 0715 for warmups and a Sunday prayer. I should be able to launch at around 0800. Feel free to join for any portion of this.
- If you have been following the TRC page, we are trying to get a Land Navigation course set up in October-November time period. If you are interested, please email me or reply to the Facebook post (“INFORMAL POLL”). FAQs are in the post comments.
