Texas Independence Day Tour of Toughness

These are the notes from Monday’s Planning Ruck:

  • The event will take place on Saturday March 2nd
  • We will launch at 0700 with a targeted finish of 1200
  • The Tour will begin at the original home of F3 Dallas… Caruth Park, where we will have a 30 minute workout (7:00 – 7:30)
  • We will run 1.3 miles to Burleson Park (7:30 – 7:43)
  • 30 minute workout at Burleson Park/SMU (7:43 – 8:13)
  • Run 1.2 miles to Katy Trail Access (8:13 – 8:25)
  • 30 minute workout on Katy Trail (8:25 – 8:55)
  • Run 1 mile to Glencoe Park (8:55 – 9:05)
  • 30 minute workout at Glencoe Park (9:05 – 9:35)
  • Ruck 4.2 miles to Flag Pole Hill Park (9:35 – 10:47)
  • 30 minute workout at Flag Pole Hill Park (10:47 – 11:17)
  • We discussed using a large coupon to carry from AO to AO (this might affect the time estimations slightly).  YHC thinks we could go with 2 shovel flags which would be a challenge, but wouldn’t affect timing too much.
  • Workout Totals: 5 workouts of 30 minutes each; 3.5 miles of running; 4.2 miles of rucking
  • These time estimates are pretty conservative.  As you can see we have about 43 minutes to play with.
  • Options for extra 43 minutes
    • Extend each workout 9 minutes – 45 minutes
    • Run 4.5 miles back to Caruth Park to Finish at the Launching Point (total running – 8 miles)- 45 minutes
    • Start and End the workout at Burleson Park – adds 1.3 miles of running at the beginning and 4 miles at the end, this would reduce each workout length by 2 minutes (total running – 8.8 miles) – 43 minutes
    • Start at Coffee Park with an extra 30 minute workout and .6 miles (total running 4.1 miles) – 36 minutes
    • Do an extra 30 minutes of workout at Burleson Park or another AO – 30 minutes
  • We will then follow up the event with 2nd F at a restaurant/bar close to the finishing AO.
  • Logistical Difficulties
    • If we start and end at different AOs then we will need to have some guys leave vehicles at the finishing AO and carpool to the launching AO prior to our 0700 launch. We would also have to get the guys that parked at the launching AO back to their cars at some point.
    • We will probably need a vehicle close at all times in case there is an injury.  As of now Rump Roast is good with driving from AO to AO and assisting with this.  Other guys that don’t want to complete the running and rucking could also do the same.
    • We will need rucks at Glencoe Park if we are going to do the ruck from there.  These could be loaded into Rump Roast’s truck at the launching AO.
  • We need a name to make this more marketable.
  • Do we want to do shirts or patches to reward guys for finishing this event?
    • We need someone to design one.
  • Please offer input on our extension options, our Second F location, name, reward, and anything else.  Comment below.

All By Myself – Encore

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: None
QIC: Ina

AO: Flagpole Hill
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: 

Given (mentally)

WARM-O-RAMA:
None

THA THANG:
5 mile double time

Avg. pace 7’26” for a distance of 5.04 miles

MARY:
None

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out, asking for a quick recovery for Oatmeal.

MOLESKIN:
As I finished my run and began to wait for the ruck group, the worry started to creep in as 6:24 am rolled by (unusually late for a ruck).  I had decided I was calling 911 if they did not show by 6:30, but luckily at 6:25 I heard some chatter and learned of the unfortunate injury to Oatmeal and the miscalculation of distance to be covered in amount of time remaining. I wanted to join the ruck but I will not be able to join on March 2nd, so I figured I would double-time just in case another PAX wanted to run.  Alas, no one did and so I ran All By Myself – an encore to Alright Alright from a few weeks back.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Wednesday night 6:00 pm at Chick-fil-a on Hillcrest
2. I also have a daughter in GS, so let me know if you want some GS cookies.

3.  CSAUP – March 2nd

Kyrie Irving Ankle Breaker

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Icebox, Mile High, Oatmeal, Rump Roast, Sally, Strangler (Nashville)
QIC: Coach K

AO: Flag Pole Hill
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME:

WARM-O-RAMA:
Mumblechatter…might have lost track of time

THA THANG:
Walking, limping, walking some more

MOLESKIN:
Camp Gladiator decided to park in our spots, so we were immediately off to a rough start. Apparently they can’t walk up the hill for their yoga sessions and PAX weren’t too apprecicative of it. YHC tried to jump on the “dissing Camp Gladiator” bandwagon but was quickly shut down and so back to silence YHC went. Icebox tried to be supportive of the talkative (albeit extremely cranky) Q but to no avail.

We started on our march and about .5 miles in, Oatmeal got clipped by a speeding car, which caused him to roll off into the ditch bending his ankle every which way. Not quite that dramatic, but Oatmeal did take a nasty fall. We started rucking back towards the car before AA took off to get a truck (without dropping his weight sack – art of manliness right there).

Once we got Oatmeal situated, the PAX continued their trek where some mistakes in routing were made. We grossly underestimated the distance we could ruck under the time constraints resulting in PAX showing up late to meet up with a legitimately concerned Ina.

Conversation predominately covered the CSAUP event in March, the details of which will be summarized later. You definitely won’t want to miss this. The other hot topic was, per usual, YHC’s level of grumpiness. As Splash would say, YHC needs to find a girlfriend. With any luck, the spark made with a girl in the chip aisle at Kroger pre-Cowboys game on Saturday will ignite something (#backblast for Teasip per request).

Pray for Oatmeal and for a quick recovery. Hope it felt worse than it actually was, and power to him for walking an extra quarter mile with a weight vest.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. CSAUP event planning in the works; 03/02 Texas Independence Day
2. Run Ranger Run sign ups
3. Q source groups meet Wednesday night and Friday at lunch (see preblasts)

PAX: AlrightAlright, Chairman Mao, Isaiah, Mile High
QIC: Pepper

5 miles over two loops

First mile pace of 7.08 with most PAX grouped together. YHCs mutt was non compliant, so I DNF full 5, and got only 3.5 miles in. Chairman and Isaiah did not track their pace but were not too far behind.

Mutt Ruck and Dribble Ball

PAX: F150, Icebox, Ina
QIC: Coach K

AO: Flag Pole Hill

THA THANG:
We walked places. Did some squats. Pace was 16:28 if I heard correctly, but PAX are welcome to correct me.

MOLESKIN:
Kicked off with a couple of Parkey jokes. Glad he finally won the Eagles a game. Lots of college basketball talk this morning as YHC didn’t have his public accounting PIC. Discussed the new NFL rule where colleges can restrict access to their coaches (Kingsbury the first to get slapped with this). Mentioned light up sneakers making a comeback. Maverick out and about despite low T from his operation.
