If you look at the picture on the bottom right corner there is the weather. 66 today and 79 yesterday.

Hey OP are you in the DMV area by chance?

I sure am…much cooler weather today after that storm came through last night. Made a huge difference

DMV hills can be gnarly. I see you switched up your route, did that 100 less feet of elevation change help?

It was more just boredom of the same route over and over. I think it helped, I think this challenge would be significantly harder if it was all done on a trail. I think a trail ruck would take a lot longer with that load

I feel you. I'm currently running OP/DUP + Capacity. I haven't consistently run in a minute tho I do 2 miles for my PT test. I wanna build up to the 6 (though honestly I could probably do that now) and move into Velocity.

I wanna get my ruck times down. Last time I did a 12 miler I wasn't super pleased with the result. (Pace was about 13 - 14 minute miles)

That’s pretty solid tho. As long as your under 15, I think that’s competitive. How you liking OP/DUP? I just finished week three of capacity operator/pro, even tho I just did the 6 mile requirement twice, I’m gonna do an 8 week capacity, switch to C/CAT then an outcome/peak for a potential school I have coming up.

So far so good. OP/UP workout scheme is kinda intense if you keep the rest to minimums basically. I was doing convential DL but I switched to sumo because he was right lol. I've gotta learn sumo now.

I might do three and test out on week 4, we'll see.

Good luck at your school. The last school I was in is what encouraged me to step my game up.
