GORUCK Challenge

[madmonday]

go to the GORUCK website, it's all laid out about as flat as a pancake. . . but to be fair aLOT of the Challenge is based on the unknown.  i've been working on my endurance and have been trying to work light with plenty of reps of any given thing i'm doing.  i've been slacking a bit with real life sneaking up on me, but i'm still stead fast with my vision of what i'll be doing next April . . .

once things cool down for me i'll be posting more in this thread. this thread really keeps me interested in this forum and motivates me

@zhivago:

Argh, I have to double check my calendar. That might be a problem

I thought we were talking April?

[zhivago]

April option is Santa Barbara which is also quite lovely and that date is 4/11 FWIW there is one in S.F. that day as well. All that being said Newport Beach is my top choice based on the beauty of the place alone. Flexible on all of it though so let's just see what works for everybody…

[Finn666]

maybe quoting a list of those dates would be a good thing to do?!
then one of you guys could add a pole to the thread and we could take it from there, no?

[seanocono]

Santa Barbara in April would be great, too!

[zhivago]

Sorry it's Santa Monica not Santa Barbara, my bad…

Dates
Newport 3/21
Santa Monica 4/11
S.F. 4/11

Newport is THE top choice.

If Doug can't make that weekend work, we will take it from there.

[madmonday]

ain't got no worries.  just tell me where & when to show-up.

glad this is getting firmed up, unlike my belly, yikes

[seanocono]

Santa Monica beach is my back yard.  I'm all for that, too.

[derivative666]

I'll be there also just let me know when and where. Z is Courtney coming with Ryder? Jake wants to come. I need a baby sitter while we are getting our asses kicked.
