New ruck plan!

After eyeballing the target event of GORUCK Tough in Charleston on Dec. 2-3, our group noticed there was not much activity on the event page. When John reached out to the organizers to try to get an idea of more exact location so we could book hotels, the response was they were "still working on permits and didn't have those details nailed down yet". Umm... it's 1 month away. Yikes. 

So after a brief team huddle, we decided to scrap plans for Charleston and instead sign up for a multi-event series in February in Savannah. Similar level of difficulty overall (ish) but it's a combo of 4 events instead of 1 long one which means FOUR PATCHES and also, it's not an overnight event so we'll at least get to sleep at night. 


The event(s) will consist of:

Friday Night Light @ 1900
- 3 hours
- 10lb pack
- 5-8 miles total

Saturday BFF Test @ 0800
- 1 hour
- 4 exercises for time/reps:
    - 1 mile ruck + sandbag
    - 2 min sandbag burpees
    - 200 m suitcase carry 
    - 2 min hand release pushups

Saturday Star Course @ 0900
- 12 miles
- 10lb pack

Saturday GORUCK Basic @ 1430
- 5-6 hours
- 20lb pack
- 7-10 miles total

Gonna be a lot of work and hard weekend but I'm super excited about this!!
