The BackBlast:
MapRuck is working itself into being recognized. Although for this backblast, we will accept posting as part of *Core*.
As a proper workout, we now have a Signup Genius thereby making MapRuck official. No longer will YHC solely define the route. Others will be called to decide where to lead the pax each week for the one hour on Wednesday mornings at 0515 from the Pizza Peel parking lot in Cotswold.
Today we followed the route called Seahorse, aptly named for the shape of the course. It is 4 miles and neighborly. Some parts dark. Some parts on treacherous sidewalks along busy roads, although none of the route was along the “luke warm” corridor. A good bit of the mumble chatter covered that subject to no ending, but it made the 4 miles fly by.
There you have it, the first ever backblast for MapRuck. Here’s the public service announcement: MapRuck is a 4 mile 1 hour ruck/walk/very slow mosey between 0515 and 0615 launching Wednesdays from the Pizza Peel in Cotswold. There are no requirement for how much weight or gear you carry, if at all. Open to all men, open to all weight classes. In the past to have the reputation of being fast and YHC can not deny that claim. No man left behind – more like Many Men Left Behind – oops.
