Goruck - completed

Finished up with the GoRuck challenge this morning, it was a great time. Here are some highlights:

• 7 p.m. start time, 10 a.m. finish time
• 20+ miles covered
• Carried a 300+ pound log for around 6-7 hours, some of that straight up a mountain
• Typically had anywhere from 25-60# on your back at all times
• Huge ass mosquitos
• Endless stair climbs
• Indian runs
• Sunrise hike up a nice and steep 4 mile trail
• Lots of strange looks
• The endless ruck home
• Longest GoRuck class in history!
• Met a good group of guys and had a great time working together with them

It was a pretty legit time. Definitely suggest anyone checking it out.

• Notes: Gonna be taking a few days off to recover. Gotta decide on some new challenges for July-August.
• Sleep:
• Nutrition: Did pretty well. Carb loaded with potatoes the day/morning before and I felt pretty awesome energy-level wise. Ran out of food and water by the end so I was started to run on fumes but good overall.
• Body: Held up extremely well. Knees and hips felt fine despite not having done any rucking before-hand. Feet were definitely hurting by the end but that is to be expected, they will probably be sore for a few days. Shoulders took the biggest beating....traps are pretty swollen and my biceps and forearms are pretty sore from the log. I definitely learned a valuable lesson about log training: build up your neck and shoulders as much as possible.
• General: Gonna do some sort of recovery training tomorrow, might hit the pool. Just need to get things moving again.
