Conditions: It was a gorgeous, cool sunny start of a new day and a new AO with a temperature of 48 degrees, where 4 PAX posted for the “soft launch” of G3tth3Ruck0ut at the American Parkway.
All PAX posted at Lil Le Hi parking lot and the shovel flag was planted. Disclaimer was given and the PAX began the 45 minute adventure.
I, Dynamite, prepared a course for the PAX to safely travel and ensure the ruck ended on time. The route is as follows: start in Lil Le Hi parking lot, trek north onto the trail and up the long hill. At the summit, we all turned right for a long downhill before walking on flat surface to the bridge. We crossed the bridge and made a left onto the trail and walked under the 78 underpass, up another hill and descended the rolling hill onto flat ground and continued until we reached the covered bridge. This was the turnaround point. The route was repeated in reverse back to the shovel flag.
The PAX split in two pairs of two with stimulating mumble chatter had. The PAX members who reached checkpoint first performed an exercise until “six” was called. The selected exercise(s) were squats and squat thrusters, each with the ruck sack. When all PAX posted back to the shovel flag, Hurricane continued his informational and personal perspective on how to understand the pain & frustration of oppression by providing an unbiased and historical factual account to support his perspective. He also shared how others can support communities of color and thanked us for being sensitive and attentive to learning the struggles of the colored community and how we can help.
No workout is complete without a photo. So a photo was taken to capture the moment.
I want to thank the PAX that posted and supported the “soft launch” for the new AO and hope you all attend again and bring a friend too.
The official launch of G3tth3Ruck0ut will be Monday June 8, 2020 at Lil Le Hi Fish Hatchery in Allentown, PA at 0530. Bring a ruck sac with or without weight and let’s get an effective workout in while building stronger fellowship!
