        Jeff, for those of us that down own a Goruck piece, do we need to order one and if so, what size?

        1 a goruck brand bag is not a requirement
        2 the gr1 is the ideal bag for the challenge
        3 if you buy an event pass they give you a discount on gear

        Jaco is correct

            sounds like fun & a year to get ready for it gives almost anyone more than enough time. i have been meaning to sign up for one for the last couple of years, so i'm glad you are putting this together D-triple.

            I'm all in.

            oh & as motivation i'm pushing 40 fast & figure I want to do one of these as soon as possible before my mind is willing & my body isn't.  i also love to set goals with tangiable rewards, just how I'm wired.

            2014 can't get here soon enough

                    Jaco is just a smart dude (& one of my favorites), all the info is on the Goruck website.

                    –-no sarcasim implied or directed at anyone--

                    No, i don't want to re-live Paris Island (that sh!t was for the birds), but i'm old enough to know better & young enough to not give a f^ck & do stupid stuff . . .  this seems pretty high on my list of stupid things to sign up for.

                    &  30 people isn't that easy to come up with, though i'm sure mega could organize & get it going  . . .

                            You & D666 are two of my favorite big men on the forum.  this is going to be fun.

                            Had to get in on this. I think I can fireman carry up to 275 or so . . . anything more & I will probably sh!t myself.  Please keep in mind, someone will probably have to carry your big a$$ & I don't think you get to choose who carries you . . .

                                  Ok so since we seem to have a good head of steam going into this thing, let's tap into the collective brain trust and put some real legs under this baby!

                                  We've got some time but if your like me, probably just about the right amount 😉 so why not use this thread to post some ideas of how we are all getting off our collective ass and getting ready for this thing. I get the impression they are not a cake walk boys and girls…

                                  I started off today with the following...
                                  4 sets of each 20 seconds on, 10 second rest. Alternating between the two exercises. Break for water if needed

                                  exaggerated lunges (one sided) Rx20seconds Lx20 seconds
                                  Dive bomber pushups

                                  Goblet squats with a KB
                                  Dead lift with the same bell

                                  Z needed water
                                  skater lunges (side to side)
                                  Z needed more water

                                  Russian twist
                                  Plank

                                  Standing side crunches.

                                  Takes a little less than 30 minutes including some type of warm up.

                                  I will continue to post work outs and hope you all do to. If anybody has any questions (you've all done these exercises but might call them something different) pm me and I am happy to explain.

                                  Do cardio!!!

                                          AKA Tabata workouts. Worth looking online for different variations if you need ideas

                                          Just tossing that out there. It's a great routine/system
