I ran this morning. I was a good event, better planned and run than I expected. You never know what you will get with a first-time event. It was physically challenging but doable. I would have liked to see more shooting, and longer rifle shots, but was not unhappy with what they had. I expected that it would be more about the running than the shooting. I still don't quite understand the scoring, but will talk to the match director in the future to make sure I understand how to properly game the system!
My gear worked pretty well. I will make a few changes before the next one. I slid my rifle through the sand while crawling under the dump truck, and I had some malfunctions that were probably caused by it. Cradle the damn thing next time dumbass! This caused me to DNF the weak-hand stage, which really pissed me off, because I was determined to clean them all.
