YHC pulled up to Jesse Wharton Elementary at 6:35 ready for his first Ruck Q. Low and behold, there were 8 vehicles already on premise parked and abandoned. YHC took a double take at the clock to make sure he was not tardy. The first thing that came to mind was the Northern Ruckus changed the start time from 7:00 to 6:00….drats. In an adrenaline rush and panic, YHC quickly ran around the AO looking for the PAX (no soul in sight). Heading back to the parking lot, several cars started pulling into the school and relief set in. Moreover, several PAX emerged from the woods ready for their second workout. Unbeknownst to the Q, some guys were there early for extra credit Ruck training. The other set of cars represented a Women’s trail running group. During the rush to find the PAX, it became apparent that YHC locked the keys in the car and left the Ruck pack in the trunk. No worries…..There was a Mid-Size Goodyear tire on the Lacrosse field that served as a impromptu ruck sack.  Here is how the RUCKUS unfolded..
