For those interested in my final “challenge” of 2010, I’ve posted mostly pictures to best explain what I did. The basic premise is an eight hour, 20+ mile, team oriented day that mimics some of the things you’d see in a military boot camp documentary. We lugged 20-35 pound backpacks the entire time, carried a 250+ pound log over a few miles, froze our tails off while doing flutter kicks and mountain climbers in 30 degree water, and fireman carried teammates at random points during the day. And all of it was done for a cool hat and entrance to a small club of type-A personalities.
**For those visiting the site after searching for more info about GORUCK, I'd definitely suggest signing up. It's 90% leg endurance (think slow jog) and a bunch of little tests of your mental toughness.
