Hitting the Wall

We started out 6 strong – 3 ruckers and 3 non-ruckers.  Welcome back to kotter Rebel-ette.  As we moseyed to the Foundry passing the ruck on the minute, we were joined by a Carolina Conferencer, Thriller.  As we approached the Foundry the gloom gave way to a Trumpian like wall built to keep us out of the Festival Grounds.  Unfortunately the Foundry is considered part of the Festival Grounds.  I’m not sure I’ve ever considered work at the Foundry all that festive.  Maybe, I am approaching it wrong.  Anyway, the border patrol was not letting us in, so change of plans.  We headed back to our humble La Forja.  We took the long way as the Q wasn’t paying close attention.  So it may not be the big nice Foundry with the cushy rubber matting on the other side of the Wall, but it gets the job done.

The Thang

We stayed pretty true to the GoRuck workout for today, some core work for the first half, and upper body for the second half.

4 sets of:

• Squats AMRAP in 1 minute.  Ruck it if you got it
• Flutter Kick IC x 25.  Ruckers with their ruck on stomach
• Lunges AMRAP in 1 minute.  Ruck it if you got it
• Big Boi Sit-ups AMRAP in 1 minute.

Then 3 sets of:

• High Plank aka Forward Leaning Rest x 45s. (like Tool, I’m not sure what is restful about this).
• Pole Dance, Body Row, Bernie Sanders (rotate each set) x 45s
• Dips x 45s…..last set was AMRAP to fatigue

Mosey back to the flag, where we gathered to pray for: Children with Down’s Syndrome, Brady, Cowbell’s Grandmother, and those fighting addiction, specifically Shorty and his Fartsack addiction.
