Sacred Cow ruck march

  • 10 pax buddy up
  • 8 pax carrying sandbags
  • 2 pax carrying Sacred cow on his chariot!
  • The catch? The sacred cow can NEVER EVER touch the ground . She is sacred , of course!
  • Once burned out from carrying the cow, we switch out the pax to take the cow. We had to work as a team to do this. 2 pax would grab the sides of the chariot to releave the pax carrying for the next 2 to carry.
  • We rucked to the school and back to an open field
  • at the field , who ever was not carrying the sacred cow would squat thrust and throw their sandbag forward, also switching out w carrying the cow and not letting the cow touch the ground. We squat thrust threw sandbags for about 100 yards.
  • Once at the bridge , we went back to Rucking w the sandbags in order to make it back to the AO for some PT sandbag work
  • once at the AO, 2 pax carry the cow the short loop. Once 2 pax complete the short loop w the cow, 2 more pax take the cow around the short loop. Again, not letting the cow touch the ground
  • While the cow made it the loops , pax not carrying the cow did said exercises .
  • Sandbag lunge twists
  • front loaded ruck big boys
  • lovers squat ( goblet style squat w sandbag)
  • sandbag chest press
  • over shoulder sand bag cleans
  • you do the same exercise until the cow made a complete loop, then you bump to the next exercise
  • reps were not counted. You did as many as you could w good form until you got bumped
  • the cow actually touched the ground 3 times, which meant a penalty
  • 5 Ruck burpees each time the sacred cow touched the ground. We did 15 Ruck burpees

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Nothing inspirational for me to say but we did carry the cow for almost an hour and covered just over 2.5 miles with out it touching the ground This could only be done working as a team and we conquered ! Not a lot of miles, no lung busting runs,  not a lot of reps of said exercise , just team work and embracing the suck together !

Proverbs 17:28

Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

We all need to think before we speak.

As Hammy put it: Better to be silent and let them think you a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I was reminded of 2 important truths in my life during the Mountain Man Memorial March this past weekend.

  1. When I am focused on my own individual circumstances, I lose the ability to serve others.
  2. I need brothers surrounding me, especially during the difficult, painful times.

I was reminded of those lessons during the physical activity of rucking, but they are applicable to all aspects of life. If we are so focused on our own circumstances, we can’t be there to lift up our brothers. We can’t be present for our wives and for our children. We can’t serve others the way that God is calling us to serve.

During those difficult seasons of life, our natural tendency as men is to isolate ourselves. But more than ever, that’s when we need our brothers. We all experience peaks and valleys, and when we’re in the valley, we need a strong-hearted brother to help us get back up on our feet. As HIM’s, we need to be the men reaching out to help our fellow brothers………….and we should be humble enough to realize that we will inevitably find ourselves in the valley at some point and be in need of our brothers to lift us back up.
