[ruckus] Sunday Mix-It-Up

AO: ruckus
Q: Wilbur
PAX: Cartel, Posse, U-Haul, Radar, Tollbooth, Wilbur, Super Soaker, Torpedo
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
What had happened was:
Prescription was intervals of 4 minutes of rucking with 2 minutes of double timing. Called-out exercises performed halfway through the ruck. Pax took turns leading the exercises. We did merkins, big boys with press ups, plank jacks, flutter kicks with ruck overhead, air squats, LBCs, “burpees”, and walking lunges. Torpedo learned how to count out exercises. Super Soaker can count to five now…

Message at COT:
Ever seen someone struggling with something and thought to yourself “c’mon that’s not all that bad, all you have to do is…”??
Whether a man is drowning in 150 ft of open ocean, a 10 ft pool or in 2 ft of bathwater, the death certificates are all going to list cause of death as drowning. No one reads an obituary and asks “how deep was the water?”
Equally, don’t pass judgement or minimize someone’s struggles prior to tragedy. It’s easy to tell someone all they have to do is stand up in the tub. It’s hard to swim 3 miles ashore through rough seas. It’s even harder to know which situation someone is in mentally. Give grace that not everyone will think or act like you would.
