Given the reopening of all F3 beatdowns and Gut Checks reminder that or beloved Woodstockrucks involves more than just long casual walks through the park, I felt it important to reintroduce some hard work to our Saturday ruck.

At this point we were getting short on time and YHC was growing tired of hearing the moans and groans of the Pax. The following was omitted but would have been fun.

Time to Ruck
Wanting to continue the theme of hard work and conquering new ground, each Pax picked up a 20 to 30 pound coupon for our walk. While YHC had scouted our planned route via Google Maps, YHC never actually drove it. This proved to be a mistake as YHC lead the Pax down 1 dead end road after another. Our 1.75 mile stroll brought us back to the amphitheater just in time to complete our COT and enjoy a coffeeteria generously provided by Foosball before the Pax went their separate ways.
While I have to admit that sometimes it is hard to force my fat butt out of bed, I am always glad I did when I see your smiling faces and get to spend time with the best Pax in F3. Thank you all for joining me in the gloom!
