GoRuck Gear Test
With the Florida GoRuck Challenge right around the corner (December 29), I decided to do a training run in full gear to test all the stuff I’ve put together. The run was a 90 minutes with thirty pounds loaded into my pack. Temps were in the low 40’s and windy, which is almost exactly what the projected conditions will be on Wednesday for the real deal. I see the GoRuck as a big gear challenge, nearly as much as it is a physical challenge; having the right gear can make a big difference over 7 hours of severe cold, wind, and wet.
Previously, me and two of Crossfit pals did a 8.5 mile run that took 2’20” to complete. We all rucked 30 lbs. Temps were warm and we did it after a really tough WOD that had all of us exhausted before we started the run…so I was feeling good about 90′.
