goruck challenge
-
It’s that time of year again folks! This year bring us a plethora of “extreme races” including the Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash, GORUCK challenge, Spartan Race, etc. Many people train for these events like they are going to war, worrying about meeting the challenge. Fortunately us CrossFitters train for this stuff every day! Last year we attended the Warrior Dash and outside of the long run up the hill, was essentially a breeze.
This year, we are choosing a few events to rally around. The first of them being the GORUCK (go-Ruck) challenge. Jim Keegan, one of our fellow athletes, has done both the Tough Mudder (considered the hardest obstacle race out there) as well as the GORUCK. Jim says “The GORUCK is at least twice as hard as the Tough Mudder. It really challenges your endurance”.
About 12 people have expressed interest in the GORUCK Challenge and we are going to begin training for this event. This Saturday after BUTT Camp, Jim will be explaining the GORUCK in detail as well as doing a 3-5 mile weighted pack run with workouts mixed in as he goes. If you are interested in attending the GORUCK, attend this meeting on Saturday and decide if you really want to do this or if you are just talking shit.
Special GORUCK WODS will be done at least once a week in preparation for this event at a special time for people who are signed up for the GORUCK. If you or anyone you know is interested in doing the GORUCK, be sure to attend the meeting on Saturday. GORUCK WOD’s will be free for CrossFit SISU members who are signed up for GORUCK. If you are not a CrossFit SISU member, you will be able to train with us for this event for $200. This will include at least 10 specially designed GORUCK workouts beginning the first week of March and leading up to the event May 12th.
