USMC BRC short card with ruck on, 20 different exercises, finished in 49:53. I then rucked 6 miles in under 1:39 with the same 30# ruck.
Hopefully this image isn't huge, I'm on my phone.

We had to take a few breaks, no doubt.

15 miles overnight with three other weirdos like myself, rotating a 50# sandbag every quarter mile. Three PT stops throughout the session. 1st was lunges, push ups, leg raises, and burpees 80 reps each. 2nd was 100 ruck push presses and lunges. 3rd was 100 squats, 100 flutterkicks, 500ft of bear crawls, and 500ft of crab walks. 7 hours of shenanigans.

12 mile timed ruck march in AM, 3:14:07. New trail had a bit more elevation than I thought. Oh well.
In the PM, I did a ruck workout EMOM-style with three other people (two new to this type of training) and then we did some miles (I did a bit extra to get 4 miles in 1:14). 30# ruck.
And that's it. Just some light stuff until another GORUCK Tough and Light combo next weekend.

Re: Grouchyjarhead Training
Operation Red Wings Tough and Light completed.
For the Tough - we started at 2100 and finished around 0830. The main Cadre leading the event was a former MARSOC scout sniper. We started with the Murph challenge while wearing our rucks (substituting ruck swings for pull ups due to no place to do them) and then did some immediate action drills for fun (think short sprints dropping to the prone for distance if you are not familiar with the term). We then listened to some history and hit the road carrying a good ensemble of awkward items - we had logs, plates, water carriers, and so on.
Throughout the night we did about 19 miles (including the two from Murph) and the vast majority of them heavy. I was on a log every chance I got and once we picked up "the Monster" (a short thick log you could only one man carry and only over one shoulder that was so heavy we literally were counting 50 paces with it as our turns) I was one of the ones regularly switching out on it. Naturally we found our way in the water and had some fun there as well. Near the end as we were all going uphill we had some casualty carries as well.
Went home, ate, a quick PT shower, and slept for about 90 minutes before I was up and did it again for the Light which started at 1400. Did Murph again (this time no ruck for the push ups, squats, and run but still swinging) and then we did some relay races (sprints, bear crawls, crab walks, and the "Dizzy Izzy").
We then hit the road for over 5 miles, stopping down at the water again for some fun and then we walked to a nearby field and did some hill sprints and a sprinting game. We then rucked back towards the start point but stopped at a playground where we had to take the entire class up a slide, over a tube, and across the monkey bars with rucks. So we daisy chained the rucks and everyone worked together to help them across. We then went back to the start point, talked a while, and were done.
Great time. Met lots of good people and both events were solid teams. Upon waking up today - feet are fine, legs are smoked, a bit sore but otherwise solid.
