Eighteen men began their day deep in the gloom at Jordan High School. There were four who showed up 30 minutes early for an EC ruck (Avalanche, Beano, Elf, and Shake It), and two rucked from home to the AO, each with 30 lbs in their ruck and a 35 lbs dumbbell on the their shoulder (Bushwood and Shovel).
