Finished!! Had a Dutch 2 Star award the medals to our team. Just glad i got the opportunity to experience this event!!
Congratulations! That's a hell of an accomplishment. Be proud! ...and sit on the couch for three days.
Thanks. Last day was hard. Thunderstorms soaked us...wet boots for 10km was bad. Once the weather cleared up and i changed socks and boots, my tape had moved some...yhis caused new discomfort. The entire team just pushed to the end. I have never had an experience like this with such extreme highs and lows constantly battling each other and you are often deciding with one is the better choice to really behind stopping for pain to subside or moving to stay on target). This is a real limit tester...do it if you can.
Great job. I miss those days of pain and misery. Jumping into the field, Spend 7 -10 days out, then the long ruck down Long St or Manchester Rd back to the barracks. Pack light, freeze at night....
It is time for round 2...heading there tomorrow and it kicks off very early Tuesday morning. The temp should be cooler this year.
Day 1 is complete...25% over. Tomorrow will be hot, 30 C...flashbacks of last year. We have a solid team and we should all finish barring any major injury.
Well...finished this year's march. It was much easier the second time around. Crazy what kind of edge course knowledge can bring.
Congrats man. I've had the same experience with various ruck marches. It seems like the ones I remember being easy get harder, and the ones I remember being miserable get easier.
The weather was much better this year. 30 C only one day...mid 20's the others. Mornins were around 16. Hydration was not as hard to maintain
Back again for my 3rd event...should be good and we have a solid group of people on the team this year!
