After running the last comp with a plate ......
I realized I'm not as fit as I could be. Also only having one in the front made it feel like I was falling forwards .
that's why you get front and back... honestly I couldn't see running these events without chest rigs and armor if you have the PC... there's a reason you buy them, so run them like you would if you had to.
I'm not as fit as I should be, but my hurt back nearly crippled me at the last event, I plan on getting down to 200lbs before this next event, and will be running with a full load out, funds permitting.
