My Glock 21 managed to get sand in the striker channel that stopped both the striker and the safety plunger. I detail stripped it and dropped everything into the ultrasonic cleaner for 20 minutes at 70 degrees Celsius. Took me awhile to get it cleaned, lubed, and assembled but it works again.

The mud just managed to get into the right place to jam it up. Next year I will either stage it or figure out a way to keep mud out of it. I'm a big proponent of making everyone carry and if pistol is the only weapon we are allowed to...

This year I stowed all my gear and pistol inside the chest rig pockets. I'm glad I did.

 

[bigblue]

I do like the chest rig idea, I may have to take a different approach next year.

 

[dennism]

The biggest problem with a chest rig seems to be mud getting into mags. Mud on gun= no problem. Mud on mag? Big problem.

Mostly pics of team 5, got a bunch of targets here too.

We wrecked the top target.

I did my best to edit down a run into 2 minutes.

 

[DarthRevan]

That was pretty good, did you try fast forwarding some while editing? I think that would have made for a cool look.

Did not do any fast forwarding, did some slowmo.This is the first video I have ever edited so will improve in the future.

The biggest problem with a chest rig seems to be mud getting into mags. Mud on gun= no problem. Mud on mag? Big problem.

Mine has 3 mag pockets at center that are open top with bungee hold downs. Then there are two large flap top pockets at either end and one large flap top up above the open tops. All my AR mags went into the open tops, my 1911 mags went in the left flap pocket and my 1911 was in the large pocket, which is sized perfectly so the 1911 doesn't shift around. The right flap pocket is good for extra gloves and a mini Gatorade.
My 4th year of running in this event and I finally figured out a good way to store all my shit without too much mud infestation.

I have two of the pond crossing on video, will post those as soon as I get a chance. I think one was the recent mother.

Did anyone happen to catch video of the gentleman that went for an impromptu swim?

No but he was a member of the winning team so it apparently didn't slow him down a bit. It probably gave him the incentive to run faster in fact. Haha.

My GF right before the run: "Do you want me to get pictures of you guys crossing the pond?"
Me: "Nah, just meet us up at the VTAC, those pictures will look cooler, that way you don't have to run up there haha"

Me, 30 seconds later: *falls into pond*

At the mud crawl I hunched my back up far as I could to keep my shit out of The goop. It worked!

 

[DarthRevan]

I was tempted to yell at people to get their dicks in the mud. But my GF telling people to smile as she took picture of them was far better.

I don't mind getting muddy at all, I just didn't want that shit in my mags again this year.
If it turns out you really need to get your chest all the way down into the mud to avoid getting a penalty or something, I'm just gonna start putting all my mags in ziplock bags!

Just went back and watched my GoPro from these events. Good times.

I have an excruciathlon to win with @45collector ... second was not good enough.

I speak for both of us when I say IN.

I will break that 2x4 in half with the BFR. One shot.
