Did my first GoRuck yesterday

You wear a ruck sack with a weight (10 or 20 lbs) and walk/hike a route around your city, etc. Ours had a few workouts in between the rucks. So, we'd do a workout consisting of things like squats and burpees, then ruck/hike for 3 miles, another work out, hike again for 2 miles.....you get the idea. 

During this, you carry a flag. Our flag and flagpole was about 20 lbs, so this adds to your workout. It's a team effort, so you take turns carrying the flag. 

Our flag had a black background with the arrow in the American flag (red/white/blue with stars) and under that in blue in red says, "Go Ruck USA."  Like this one: https://www.goruck.com/products/flag-nylon-goruck-usa?msclkid=dadc66adccdc19b04ba4390450749ba1&utm_campaign=Shopping - Brand - Rucks %26 Accessories&utm_content=OPT - GORUCK %26 Rucksacks&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=bing&utm_term=4578366442166163

 

We had people flipping us off and thumbs down while we were walking. A few honked. We got a "Trump lost!" shout I believe. 

I think they thought we were a Trump parade, honestly even tho there were only about 8 of us, 6 being women.

So, if you're out there driving and you see a flag of some kind, make sure you READ WHAT THE FLAG FOCKING SAYS before you start flipping people off. People are idiots.

It was because you had a part of the American flag...

I dislike all "variations" of the American Flag.  Were all of the people you were "rucking", which sounds stupid to me, but whatever, with Trump supporters?

I have no idea, we didn't talk about it. 

They are all close friends of mine, but I've never asked how they vote..... I don't care. 🤷‍♀️

This seems pretty cool.  Have to mention it to the son.

Considering the social climate you could have opted for carrying a log instead ....
