Selection 021 Finishers Interview

After 48 hours of miles and moving lots of weight, we let the finishers of Selection 021 shower off, have some pizza, and a cold beer of course, then sat down with them for an interview. Listen in with Jason and Rich, and hear firsthand what they did to complete the toughest endurance event in the world. PS, the beer always tastes better after finishing Selection.

Life is unpredictable and we don't know what the future holds, but I can say for 100% that I want to do this. This is one goal that I must do. I really hope you guys do it again. Thanks for what you're doing guys.

They have team assessment this year, There is no selection. They're supposed to create a new version that may be ready by 2021 called "selection 2.0", the event overall may be longer and more difficult than this selection.

@@rt1164 I noticed they only had team assessment if I don't attend it I'll have to wait to attend selection 2.0 it seems.

@@randomtvninja Go to the goruck website and look at their blogs. They explain in more detail whats going on with it. Overall though it sounds like its going to be more intense. I'm not sure where your fitness level is at, but I would start preparing for something called the "Upperbody round robin". Its a fitness test created by special forces soldiers that has been known to be done at endurance events.

@@rt1164 currently prepping for SFAS that's why I'm looking at the goruck challenges among a few things to prep myself.

[@rt1164]

@@randomtvninja Oh ok, that's cool. I hope everything goes good for you. There is also something called "The Endeavor Team Challenge" as well that is based off special operations.

What is selection?????

[@curtisadams6727]

So goruck selection is the self proclaimed hardest endurance event in the world. It's a 48 hour event where the participants who finish will cover at minimum of 80 miles over the 48 hours. It's an event where you wear a 45lbs ruck dry (meaning no food or water) for the duration of the event. It's modeled after selection from different US military schools. If you have anymore questions about the event simply look up Goruck Selection
