22 lbs Ruck (10kg)
Had to partition the pushups a lot! Was a tough one, but got through it.
I found that really focusing on ONLY the current task/chunk was a great way to get through it. I have been using this technique since I started doing these HIGH NUMBER WODs.
Thanks for the Challenge Coach Brad!

Completed tribute to Robbie Caldwell this morning at 0530 (getting up this early alone was a major accomplishment!). Shoulder carried 20lb sandbag for 3 miles (58:03 minutes). Some push-ups with sandbag across lower back (couldn’t get it to stay put), regular push-ups, and some off the knees…but I got them do!
