Is this normal?  I felt bad bailing 3.5 months out, and that's WITH torn leg muscles......

Seeing all these people drop is kind of fucked.

That always happens as the event draws near.  People realize what a disaster awaits them, they didn't train properly, the weather is going to be miserable, the Cadre start planting seeds of doubt, people get the "WTF am I doing this for anyway?" going on, etc.   

Remember bro - I only signed up for this cause you did - but I trained my balls off for months now - so fuck it - GAME ON!!!!!

Remember bro - I only signed up for this cause you did

I did/do feel guilty about that.

Believe me, I tried to work through the tears - it was my PT guy who shut me down.

I actually did a 1 mile ruck the other day.  I'm starting from square one again.

Actually bro - I posted an event in June - in Cold Spring NY that is going to be amazing.  I would get on that - or 9/11 NYC events are always off the hook.    Either that or do the 1st Boston one you can

I scheduled for Boston in Sept, but I will look at the June one.  I coach baseball from April - Sept, so my time can be limited.

Unlikely - getting into Boston on a Friday is a mess.

2 mile ruck at 26:30

Hip bone area just feels irritated, not pain.  This is weird.

Nice - you see on the page how this is so different than the other events out there.  You will get it bro - just heal up and when you are ready.

I liked your post there.  It gave perspective.  But I'm bumming right now....still can't officially do a pushup, so there's just no way.

Good news though - no shoulder pain at all carrying the ruck.....when I was in good shape in Dec, it used to hurt like shit when I took it off.  When I did the 13 miler (under 3:25  ;D) it hurt so fucking bad I couldn't do one pushup....now that's gone.

I don't get how you train for something like this then bail last minute.   Makes no sense.

I wrecked this one.   Weather was fng awful.   But we did a bunch of cool shit.   Went to a gym and had to do weight and other tests. 

15 pull ups

Bw bench press - 23 times

225 deads - 20 times in one min

Front squats at 185  x 10.  Not happy w that. 

12 miles ruck - 2:48.   But there was a lot of ice.  Felt fine for that.

35 lbs kettle press - 82 times  2 min.

Did decent on a makeshift O course. 


No blisters or foot problems.   

I feel great after this one.   

Lost a bunch along the way who quit.
