With the Ultimate Challenge Mudrun just over 48 hours away, a record low # of 7 PAX arrived at SnakePit for a GoRuck friendly workout. Not knowing what to expect, the PAX were put through a workout that YHC secretly used as a dry run for a specialty workout, The Mule. YHC learned a great deal in that he was thinking the Ruckless PAX would complete 4+ laps and the Rucker’s would complete 3+. Much to his surprise, 2 laps and 1.75 were completed by the Ruckless PAX and the Rucker’s respectively. Back to the drawing board.

MOLESKIN: Last Tuesday PAX were advised of today’s workout being Ruck optional. Not sure if this resulted in today’s low # or not. Either way, 2 PAX showed up with Rucks and the other 5 showed up ready to give it their all. Tclaps to all PAX for the effort put forth as todays workout was as much mental as it was physical.
