There is a lot a crazy things on Bourbon Street, and YHC has seen some sights….but 7 men rucking down Bourbon was a first for me. The Pax of seven gathered at 1830 hours on St. Charles & First for our first official NOLA Ruck event.
The Thang
Started rucking out towards the Quarter. Lots of mubblechatter and information flying around from the veteran GRTers about equipment, necessities, tips and advice for the upcoming GrowRuck03. We maintained about an 18 minute pace with all the traffic, bathroom, Lucky Dog, hydration (aka beer) stops that we did. A few highlights were discussing a new, special-event AO out in Woldenberg Park…it’s like a combined AO with all our existing AOs. Another one was our ruck through Bourbon Street…where else can you ruck and listen to a jazz band, eat a lucky dog, watch a magic show, and avoid the eerie Bourbon Street water puddles…it hasn’t rained in over 5 days.
Made it back to Avenue Pub, where quality F2 was had by all. We rucked about 5.25 miles by the end of it. We will do this again real soon!
