22-25 March 2023 White Hills, Arizona For A Few Penalties More RESULTS THREAD Attached File "Tell me, Colonel... Were you ever young? Yup. And just as reckless as you. Then one day too many penalties happened. It made practice very precious to me." Stories of years past whisper in the hills, and the great path once again calls. Many had been lost there, returning changed. Rumors of a ghost, speaking in concise but mystical terms of building men. The stranger was right, he had been watching. It was time again to gather and explore. To grow and learn. Great obstacles await those who would dare venture to the Wasteland. Deep ravines, vehicle destroying monoliths left by prior civilizations. Who will brave the challenges to arrive, only to face the unknown? Will they conquer, or be conquered? Signup Link! (You must fill out the form to make the run list) Breakdown of this year's slot assignment: 15 Staff slots and sponsor slots. 10 slots for WEST Top 10, including Top 2 NVG and Women from West events. First come, first served. 25 slots for Cola Vets, any event. Randomly drawn after signups close. 15 slots for noobs/+1s. 10 random draws, 5 video essays which can include chug attempts. Chug, make videos. Make all the videos. 1st time to Cola Warrior? You need to be sponsored/recommended by an existing Cola Vet. If a Cola Vet's +1 violates the rules and is asked to leave, they (the Cola Vet) may be asked to accompany their +1's departure. If you're a noob without a Cola Vet sponsor please contact me via PM. Standby will be arranged by time stamp on the signup form. Signups close February 20th and will be posted for the final time on February 25th. After that, your in is by video challenge. Chug a 2 liter, make it interesting. Group response will decide. When: 22-25 March 2023. Note: on the signup screen, if you sign up to be staff, you must be on-site for setup and early runs the weekend before. Where: White Hills, Arizona in the Mojave Wasteland! The turn-off is 50-70 miles from McCarran Airport in Las Vegas. And about another 40 minute drive on dirt roads. A decent clearance vehicle is urged but 4WD is not necessary. Oh, and please note: there is no cell phone service for a couple of miles. This means that during an awkward silence in a conversation, one can't just whip out their gadget. I highly recommend anyone without a truck to park at the rendezvous point and be shuttled in, also, for those heading in please check the RP for people and give a ride to anyone you can. There were no casualties in 2015 and 2017, so things should be fine...right? Maybe a few tires were sacrificed in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Maps will be emailed as we get closer to the event. There will be 2 travel paths outlined, 1 more direct from Las Vegas for experienced drivers. 1 more direct from Kingman and better accommodates oversized vehicles. Local accommodations: There are 3 gas stations on Highway 93 within a mile of the White Hills turn-off. There is a cafe and some small fast food spots. There is also now one at Stockton Hill Rd. & Pierce Ferry Rd. Only expect these places to have the basics as far as supplies. If you would like to stay in civilization and just drive out for the events, Las Vegas/Henderson/Boulder City is your closest place for that on the Nevada side, and Kingman is almost equal distance on the Arizona side. Sleeping arrangements on-site: People have successfully brought travel trailers & small motorhomes, if you have one that meets the clearance criteria, feel free to bring it. Otherwise, please pack whatever camping gear in the manner you are accustomed. Tent, sleeping bag, and I recommend a tarp to place your tent on. If you have a pop-up shade structure, I recommend bringing it. It hasn't been terribly hot during the day in years past - however, shade is nice and helps prevent sunburns. Restrooms: Porta-potties on site. Food: With enough donations, we plan to have meals. Once an attendee list is finalized and a count determined - we'll know if it's dirt mixed with water or cooked food. Plan to have a few things with you to munch on if you got busy and missed a meal. Chefs are volunteers and don't cook to order. Weds - Breakfast Lunch and Dinner (Don't expect elaborate meals) Thurs - Breakfast Lunch and Dinner Fri - Breakfast Lunch and Dinner Sat - Breakfast Lunch Donations: There is no entry fee. That being said - organizing meals, latrines and incidentals take bucks. Averaged out over attendees is around $75 per person. Please give in what way you can so we can have the things. Ppal donation link (preferred as no fee) Debit or Credit Card donation link Persons of Interest: The Ayatollah of Cola, Praise be Unto Him: RustedAce Sultan of Sand: JohnStoner Sultan of Sponsors/Swag: JohnStoner.

Email: [email protected] Sultan of Food: s_gorilla45 Sultan of Art: Jimmer218 Sultan of Finance: JohnStoner Sultan of Maps: Seagean Sultan of Kids Range: anthem_of_the_mind Staff is appreciated and will say hi to yall on-site! OVERALL RULES: Follow all firearms safety rules. No handling of firearms after drinking. No items of a sexual nature, there are kids around. Must sign a waiver before running the course. Listen to CW Staff - if they tell you not to do something and you do it, you're done. If you break any of these rules you will be banned from this and all future Cola Warriors. COURSE RULES: 5 minute penalty for each failed obstacle. Each obstacle must be seriously attempted for at least 10 seconds. 10 minutes to complete the obstacles. Last Peep must be consumed before the run. 5 minute penalty for each target left un-hit, one hit each steel target. 5 minute penalty for hitting pistol targets with rifle. Reactive targets must be hit to react as designed, falling targets must fall. 10 minute total chug time allowed, everything left after will be penalized. 6x 12oz cans, 3x 24oz cans, or 1x 2liter with a 5oz chaser are the only allowed sizes. Non-standard sizes will count as 2 liter. If you vomit before finishing a 12oz can, no matter how much is left that can it is a 5 minute penalty. If you vomit before finishing a 24oz can, no matter how much is left that can is a 10 minute penalty. If you vomit before finishing 2 liters, it is a 30 minute penalty Your cleared/safe rifle, pistol, magazines, eye & ear protection, and chug must be carried from the Peep/AK station to the range. Safe solutions are welcome, if you don't have one - backpacks are provided at event. Night run only: 5-minute penalty for visible light ND, 10-minute penalty for prolonged use. Closing Ceremony: Plan to attend. If you don't - items you may have been awarded will go back into the general prize pool. The only exception is a designated proxy who collects things on your behalf. Staff is already busy with things, so please don't request this of them. Note: 1. The usual two pistol mags, two rifle mags rule is in effect with no capacity limit. To balance that, you only have 10 minutes from the first round fired to complete the course of fire. To avoid tearing up the nifty reactive steel targets, please don't bring calibers that exceed 3500 fps at the muzzle or 3500 ft/lbs of energy. Due to fire risk (really) and general liability, no ammo that attracts a magnet can be used. Other Stuff: Questions are great, but please keep an eye on this original post (OP) for the latest and greatest info. This is a family event. We look forward to seeing the next generation of Cola Warriors advance through the ranks. We will have a kids course, which will be a miniaturized version of the regular one. Depending on age, we will use Airsoft or .22LR. If you've never been to a CW event, you won't be disappointed, these are the greatest human beings you could ever hope to puke with. Combat class requirements: Level 3+ special threat hard plates, front and rear 2 rifle mags with ammo 2 pistol mags with ammo At least 1 quart of water Medkit that consists of at least a tourniquet and combat bandage All must be worn the entire duration and you need to have all of it on (minus used ammo) at the completion of the chug.

Quoted: Watched a couple vids of past runs. These obstacles look like heck on shoulders. Any old peeple who've ran them have any input?  What do you consider "old"? I recommend a helmet for the fish ladder. Start doing dips like a mofo. Work on that grip strength. Or don't, and do it live.

I'm 46 and I always tell my son I can't do the monkey bars due to my shoulders.  Ironically for the last 2 months I have been starting my gym workouts like this: Elliptical Farmers carries about 200 yards per hand (one hand at a time to work core muscles) (suitcase carries I guess). Rotate : Pull ups Dips Then go to weights |

I'm older than you and I've had some reasonable success lately. You'll be fine. Show up, try, learn, modify training, do better next time! Sounds like what you're doing is all good prep. Keep that up. Quoted: I'm 46 and I always tell my son I can't do the monkey bars due to my shoulders.
