It's getting cold

It's getting cold, and it's going to be agonizing on lap four when they have to get back out into the surf...

The campsite sprint exercises really put them in their place. Their repeated failure to stay together as a team has resulted in so much punishment. They were able to skip the last campsite because everybody stayed in the proper push-up position. It's amazing how well they perform when they know that there is a reward. The next time somebody says 'I can't', the entire team will al learn that you can. You can, and you will. Where the mind goes, the body will follow.

Darkness is coming.

The sun is getting closer to the horizon and they're only halfway done with it all. Soon updates will be text only. Meanwhile, they messed up their formation again. Learning occurs again.

Failure.

They failed to stay together. If you've done Goruck you'll know how effective elephant walks are.

Pain now beer later

Inspired by Bert, the team played monkey see monkey do. They held their rucks out and did squats in an identical fashion.  If they didn't match the cadre exactly they had to do them again. They did over 150 ruck squats....

The long carry

At first they were happy to hear the instructors were dead, until they had to carry them. Go figure.

Lap two complete.

Halftime. One of the teammates is about to quit due to a hip injury incurred on the run, however the team is giving this person some KT tape, Ben gay and other stuff to bring the person back from the brink.
