This is my first post on Rokslide and this is the perfect thread to do it on. This year will be my first Western hunt and I've been absorbing as much as I can from the forums, so thank you guys!
This thread was a big wake up call for me. I did this workout last night. It sucked. No, it was worse than that. I used a 35lb pack and 15lb dumbells and did the workout RXed. I recently picked up an Outdoorsmans Optics pack and this was my first test with it. I now hate the pack. I also now hate the dumbells and I hate my high school. Some pretty good memories from high school are now overshadowed with this torture. I think its cute that the tap dancing up and down running trails and the dumbells I aimlessly threw around the past few months actually counted as working out in my mind prior to this. So naive.
I ran the 1/4's in around 1:30 average, 1/2's both took 3:25. The pain of the lunges had to be a close equivalent to giving birth. I think I blacked out for the stair part (I did it on a hill instead). Planks actually weren't terrible. Overall I finished in right under an hour, hour fifteen if you count the time after I curled up in a ball and wept.
Turns out I have a lot of work to do. Next month, when my legs aren't sore anymore, I'm going to do it again. Thanks for posting!
