Gus Whitaker
Tulsa, OK · Firefighter
The second rucker, out at yard 34 with a pack on every one of them.
The story
Gus rucks because his crew at the station ruck, and a backyard with a pack is the only race any of them respect. He went 25 yards · 25 hours · 104.2 mi at his first and 33 here, with 20 pounds dry on every yard. He timed out at 34 by about a minute and said he would do it again tomorrow.
