Another well managed and fun event by the people involved at BGSL! I ran at 0745- it was about 22 degrees I believe. Which actually turned out to be nice, as the ground was frozen and I didn't have to deal with any mud or slick spots. I ran in the + class, so there were additional obstacles on the way, as well an additional 1/4 mile + due to the last cache item past the finish line. This is one tough event though! Between the elevation changes, and the obstacle course, I'm still sore 3 days later.
I used the same gear I typically use for a run and gun- DoubleStar ARC 16" carbine with Samson SXS-LW rail, Bushnell Tac 1-6.5 optic, V-tac sling, MOD 1 Glock 34, Tactical Tailor Chest rig, Volund micro belt, Safariland holster. And wore an old Camelbak Mule for water, snack, and some extra mags. Only issue I had was due to sand in my rifle mags from having to dump the bag over my head. But, during one of the run portions I downloaded my mag in question, cleaned the rounds off, and reloaded one of my empty mags that didn't have sand.
And it would be a disservice to not mention the lunch- fantastic! Between the chilli, BBQ, and beans, I think I left heavier even after running 7.5 miles.
