Riverbend gun clubs 5k/10k run and gun april 30th

Legion is a can't miss event Burdy Burdy is 100% right about that.

Savannah is fun hot and nasty. Usually has pretty fun courses of fire. It is flat which sucks for me and it is only a 5k.
Well that blows, legion is most likely out for me due to the date. A bunch of family birthdays around then, we shall see.
 
Awesome work Travis, Burdy, and everyone else that competed.

This one kicked my rear - but still goes down as a successful weekend. First time RO so that was the main goal, and I have nothing negative about that part!

As for the competition - I should have stuck with 5k - not that my 5k run time was anything to brag about, but atleast I shot consistent with my ability. Second loop I was the walking dead, 0 wait time but still sat down at almost every station (looking at runkeeper I have over an hour of self inflicted sit time). I stuck with the 10k in order to try out some gear changes and really wanted to redeem myself on Stage 3 and 6. Instead, I did worse on every stage except #4. Considerably worse on some. On stage 5, with 13/16 hits and another minute on the clock - I puked the tiny bit of fluids still in my body, tried to recover, puked again (on my rifle), and finally relented. After a good rest, I shot stage 6 only because its right next to 5 and I had to walk past it to the finish line anyway.

These events have taught me so much about my shooting ability/disability, gear choices, and now a grueling lesson in the importance of sleep, hydration, and nutrition!

See y'all at the next one!
Greg is that you??? We all make that mistake once or twice on the self care before. My first riverbend I about stroked out at the top of shotgun hill. Stupid me ate nothing all day, drank too little, and then had a 4pm step off in 110 heat index. 220 hr at the top of shotgun hill. I was in bad bad shape.
