But I did. And to say that it was inspirational might be an understatement. GORUCK Selection is a 48 hour endurance event that starts with a PT standard that must be met by the candidates before the real a$$-whipping even starts. 96 people signed up; 46 actually showed up. After the PT standards were finished, there were 20-something left. By hour 24, there were two candidates left. After hour 26 or 27, candidate 011 was the last man standing. At hour 48, candidate 011 finished GORUCK Selection. There was a lot of rucking, carrying heavy sh!t, and mind games played by the Cadre running the event. But candidate 011 (referred to as &#8220;One One&#8221; throughout the event) kept putting in the work. His body was thrashed, but he never quit. When he finished and the Cadre congratulated him on finishing, my &#8220;allergies&#8221; may have gone a bit haywire, if you catch my meaning. He was proof that the body will follow the mind &#8211; he was dialed in mentally for 48 hours and wouldn&#8217;t let his body quit on him. Again, one of the most inspirational things I&#8217;ve ever watched. By the way, candidate 011&#8217;s real name is Doug Scherwin.<\/p>\n<p>So with that still fresh on the brain, this morning&#8217;s focus was putting in the work. Thanks to @Winklevoss, I re-introduced the Super 21 workout, which consisted of running to the far side of the rugby field, knock out a merkin, run back and knockout a WWII sit-up. Do that all the way up to 21 reps. The whole workout looked this this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Warmorama:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All exercises IC x 21<\/li>\n<li>SSH, IWs, Mountain Climbers, American Hammers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mosey to rugby field<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Super 21 (1-10)<\/li>\n<li>Squats x 21 (OYO)<\/li>\n<li>Super 21 (11-13)<\/li>\n<li>Alternating lunges \u2013 21 yards out\/back<\/li>\n<li>Super 21 (14-15)<\/li>\n<li>Backward run \u2013 21 yards out\/back<\/li>\n<li>Super 21 (16)<\/li>\n<li>Squat Jumps x 21 (OYO)<\/li>\n<li>Super 21 (17)<\/li>\n<li>Prisoner Get-Ups x 21 (OYO)<\/li>\n<li>Super 21 (18)<\/li>\n<li>Mountain Climbers x 21 (OYO)<\/li>\n<li>Super 21 (19)<\/li>\n<li>Overhead Clap x 21 (OYO)<\/li>\n<li>Super 21 (20)<\/li>\n<li>Raggidy Anne\u2019s x 21 (OYO)<\/li>\n<li>Super 21 (21)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mosey back to parking lot<\/p>\n<p>CoT:\u00a0 YHC took us out<\/p>\n<p>Announcements\/Prayer Requests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A breakfast supporting Samaritan Ministries this Thursday morning &#8211; still some seats to fill.

As we are all well aware of, Life isn&#8217;t always blue skies and smiles. And it&#8217;s not about us (individually) &#8211; it&#8217;s about something bigger, and it&#8217;s about being there to pick someone up when they feel like they&#8217;re getting kicked to the ground (sometimes over, and over again). @Goofy coined it best:\u00a0 #TheGuyNextToYou<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Great job this morning, men.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q:\u00a0 Cobra PAX:\u00a0 Traffic Jam (visiting from Greenville, SC), Light Brigade, Landshark, Cherry Pie, Burns, Wobegon, Swiss Miss, Manscape, Turnover, Chisel, Barbie, Cheese Steak, Screech, Drip &nbsp; I doubt anyone else watched over the weekend via Facebook live feed of the GORUCK Selection, Class 020.
