Flo Ops 005: Assault!
7 Pax entered the gloom with rain and wind in full force with their weighted rucks for 005 in the Flo Ops series where it’s an all-out attack on our bodies from the start. Prepping for GORUCK with some hills (Columbia is hilly…who knew?) and no strap ruck carries for “ruck strap appreciation”. Cadre love to take ruck strap privileges away. Bear crawls ‘cause it’s a guarantee at GORUCK events as well as overhead squats and thrusters. Warrior Wednesday is meant to be our toughest day…today did not disappoint and the pax rose to the challenge. Get your minds right, embrace the suck, be “the One”, insert other motivational cliché here…
Conditions: 67 raining and MUDDY …PERFECT
Buy In “Do you even dip bro?”
MAX effort dips on dip station with rucks on. Yes…Uhaul brought a dip station to Warrior Wednesday.Results: Uhaul 35, Yogi 30, Thunderbird 31, Dugger 27, Clarisse 30, Milton 19, Foxy 12
Mosey to Horseshoe Hill.
“Burpee Assault on Horsehoe Hill”
10 burpees at bottom and top of the hill with sprints up/down carrying rucks (NO STRAPS! Ruck Strap appreciation training)
Repeat until you have 100 Burpees completed
**Funny to hear mumblechatter of pax walking around to find a “good” spot in the mud and rain. Once we got our minds right and accepted conditions, work was steady and fast. Awesome job guys! Tclaps to Yogi for killing it.
“Fall Back Fall Out”
Indian bear crawl while doing merkins to Heartbreak Hill. **Quote of the day “There wasn’t this much mud at the mud run!” Sank in mud doing merkins…slipped in mud bear crawling. Perfect.
“Even the Odds”
10 number sequence with run up/down Heartbreak Hill
Odd numbers do overhead thrusters
Even numbers do overhead squats (Squat with rucks overhead)
Looks like: Start with “1 overhead thruster”, run up hill carrying rucks (NO STRAPS! Ruck Strap appreciation training again), “2 overhead squats” run down hill carrying rucks and “3 overhead thursters” etc.
**Tclaps to Foxy for lapping us…it ain’t the ruck guys…it’s the fight in the man carrying it.
“Brothers in Arms”
25 Merkins for Selection Finisher 025 Jon Eytchison
37 Feather Kicks for Selection Candidate 037 AJ Hickey who is currently in the hospital after being med dropped from Selection
