ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:”Life’s a Ruck”
Alright, fellas, let’s talk about life. It’s a lot like rucking, isn’t it?
* The Load: You’ve got your responsibilities – family, work, bills. That’s your ruck. It’s heavy, it’s uncomfortable, but you gotta carry it.
* The Terrain: Life throws curveballs. Sometimes it’s smooth sailing, other times you’re climbing uphill, facing obstacles, maybe even getting lost.
* The Pace: There are days you’re crushing it, feeling strong and motivated. Other days, you’re dragging, every step a struggle.
* The Team: You’ve got your brothers, your support system. They help you carry the load, navigate the tough spots, and keep you moving forward.
* The Finish Line: There isn’t always a clear finish line. But the journey itself, the discipline, the camaraderie – that’s what matters.
So, next time you’re facing a challenge, remember the ruck. Dig deep, find your rhythm, and keep moving forward. You got this.

Look I fartsacked on Saturday and missed an epic sledding Q, and my weekend only got lazier from there. I didn’t even bother to check the mail. The goal of today’s Q was to get as much work in as we could without overdoing it.

Secondary goal was to give F3 Pluto ( Hugh Nystrom) the gift of early completion for the day, and we would have succeeded wildly if not for the fact that F3 Pluto ( Hugh Nystrom) was, for all we know, in bed, or doing burpees alone while listening to James Clear podcasts.

My intent was to lightly warm shoulders, not blast them this time, but when I start yapping I lose track of time, so you’re welcome. We warmed up, we guaranteed 10 years of life for all in attendance (you’re welcome again), we moseyed, we hit Cardiac pretty hard, we did 106 burpees.

There was some invented controversy, entirely predictable, as to the timing of the end of the Q. To that I will only say Gibbler that the Q may not always be right, but he’s never wrong.

I flubbed my BOM. Lack of oxygen to the brain.
