GoRuck. We covered about 14 miles, and the whole thing lasted about 11.5 hours. My pack weighed 50lbs when I left my apartment and I was not allowed to take it off until the event was over. We had to do army-style exercises (jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, flutter kicks, burpees, etc). along with running and other random physical challenges. The camaraderie was great -- the team worked together to solve problems and get through the event. I felt very similar to the way I did after booth: tired and satisfied. I learned about my limits and my weaknesses. I'll leave it at that because reechee already sent me an article (twice) making fun of GoRuck, so now I'm self conscious about it. I'll end by saying it was the hardest physical thing I've ever done.
Coming up:
April 7th: 8K Shamrock Shuffle
May 19th: Chicago Half Marathon
June 7th: Ragnar Relay (my part is 3 separate 5 mile runs)
June 21st: 36mi Rachel Carson Trail Challenge

I feel bad that I may have given you a complex about it, I just thought the articles were hilarious, but not necessarily representative of my opinions. I'm sure those military dudes smoked the shit out you guys and it was one hell of an experience.

..Not totally factual from a materials science standpoint, but I think that says a lot about what we're all trying to accomplish here. I look forward to hearing the details next time I see you.
