Yes! Congrats on finishing. Now you know how to train for the next one. I have retired from toughs, but am doing the 911 Light next month. My son, 17, is doing the tough so I have to shadow that event. Doing the light with him to make sure he finishes. I’m really only kidding myself. He will be making sure that I finish! This GR stuff beyond 40 is tough on the body.

Naw, not me. I’m not willing to put in that kind of training, but at one time I was entertaining that idea.
He ran an event that I was in for the Chattanooga Memorial about 2 years ago. He seemed like a good dude, somewhat laid back and reminded me of Cadre Heath, if you ever had him as a cadre. He had the hacks for the night and subsequent day that you had to make but he wasn't screaming at you if you didn't do something right. Overall I liked both of his events and would do another one or two as long as @Expat does it with me.
Good to hear. My wife officially gave the "okay" for me to do the Light after my Tough if I'm feeling up to it. I figured I'd better run that by her since the Tough is Nov. 2 and the baby is due Oct. 28....
Just now seeing this. He is one of my favorite. Plus, he is from my local area. Had him and Mocha Mike for a tough a couple of years ago...we had coffee and snacks at daylight. Also had lots of sandbags. How was the event?
My son (an underage minor, so I had to shadow the tough) and a buddy dinthe STLO 9-11 tough light with Cadre Hallty. Crazy rain ALL night. The rain brought the pain. I did the light with them on Saturday. Super proud of the tenacity of the young’un.
A friend of mine was 035. He is a beast but he went out as a heat casualty in the five mile run. Pretty amazing because he’s one of the most fit people I’ve ever met. I guess the heat is pretty bad. Plus the stress I guess.
I lost a buddy to the heat as well. I guess they were all out in the open waiting for the event to begin or something.
I think ive done an event with one of the candidates still kicking. He was a beast several years ago and hasnt gotten any slower.
