Oklahoma Run N Gun Summer 2018

TedKennedy · January 23, 2018, 11:44

Run will be 7/14/2018.

Probably a little warmer than this past weekend. Probably same trail, different shooting stages, different obstacles. Ticks, chiggers, mosquitos, snakes, wasps....maybe even wild pigs to urge you along your way. Who's in?

TxGunDawg · January 23, 2018, 11:51

Good deal.

**beseventeen** · January 23, 2018, 13:48

I was thinking about this the other day...how miserable it was last July. Not just the RNG itself being 103 degrees, but the outdoor training it took to get there. I've never been so freaking hot in my whole life for so long. I wasn't sure I wanted to do that again.

But then I remembered I love things that suck

so yeah, I'll probably be down for this one. Pretty safe to say NOT the 20k version though.

TedKennedy · January 23, 2018, 14:30

Not doing the 20K in summer anymore. A couple of my friends about did themselves in that Friday.
I wish I could get my enemies to do that, I reckon I might chase'em that far and see who goes first.

TedKennedy · April 04, 2018, 09:16

Alright folks...
Been busy getting COF done, putting together RO list, etc....

Won't post or open tickets up just yet, but soon.

We'll be doing 5k, 10k, or 15k.

15k will start at south area, finish up at usual place, turn in 5k scorecard.

Fifteen min later, start 10k.

Finish or quit, turn in scorecard.

Get placed in 5k, 10k and in running for best 15k.

That is all for now.

Want has nothing to do with it - of COURSE I want to do it!

I'm going into hiding for all of July just to be safe.

Nuttz · April 09, 2018, 06:59

If the Halfling will be there, I will do the 15K with the Sewing Circle and the 5K portion in "Juggernaut Class" too!!!!

LET THE SHAMING CONTINUE!~!~!

So do I need to adjust my RO schedule to accommodate another 15K and a reluctant Halfling?

You should totally borrow Rusty's. That worked out so well for Mel she bought her own nice light ceramic set that actually fits her!

TK - do NOT make any changes to your run order based on a bunch of smack talk by internet yahoos. Hobbitses is tricksey, and they're going to have to find me first.

At this point, how can you not go???

Most in the sewing circle have bump helmets and ceramic plates. I’m certain everyone would be happy to share. Between all of us, I’m sure we can find a size for about anyone.

At this point, it's more a question of "time budget" than "money budget". I'm a simple hobbyist shooter who loves his friends and would love nothing more than to run off to Oklahoma for yet another tryst with misery, pain, and personal growth with some of the best people I've met so far in this life.

But I also have commitments to my wife, my daughter, and unfortunately - my day job. I owe all of them (in that order) a little more time than I've been giving them lately, and it's time to pay up. For the record, all three of them have been great and never once complained about all the time and money I've spent shooting. But if I see it, I KNOW they see it. And it's time to keep it in check before it gets way off course.

So you guys have fun and know I'm thinking of you and wishing I were there. But I'm also wishing I were here. It's a hard balance to strike.

I look forward to the time we start having team matches. It’ll be neat to see how things shake out.

Looks like Mel, Rusty and I all have our 15k tickets.

It’s on.

You are gonna finish like a boss. Just keep training, get your time in, figure out diet and water, and July 14 will be just like your training, 'cept more shooting. And obstacles. And the road.

You still got this - keep at it, buddy.

Btw, road kicked my ass today. Under 3 hours tho...way tuffer than track n bleachers but it was after 20 miles on stationary bike. Gonna hit track with the rubber band things tomorrow.

Ted Kennedy · April 18, 2018, 08:30

We sold out of the 15K tickets really fast. So - we took 10 tickets off sale for Saturday, and opened 10 slots for 15K runners that want to embrace the suck on FRIDAY.

TxGunDawg · April 26, 2018, 14:57

So, how's everyones workouts going?

Since March i've been doing HIIT (high intensity interval training) 3 times a week on the stair stepper.

Usually wearing my load out for this run.

After last year, i'm going light. Maybe 25 pounds total.

I'm getting one weight training day in.

And doing pushups, sit-ups and squats up to 4 times a week.

I've started stretching again every evening for about 10 minutes.

**beseventeen** · May 01, 2018, 06:44

Been going light for the last month. Trying to use this time to give my knees a break, and my mind, I'm so sick of running long distances, lol.

Next week I'll start an 8 week plan (it's kind of cross-fittish) and start ramping up the mileage again for OK's 15k.

I plan to do lots of working out and shooting outside to acclimate to the summer misery well ahead of time.

Ted Kennedy · May 01, 2018, 07:15

Been running quite a bit. Ran a half-marathon a couple weeks ago, one long run since. Not shooting enough (same song, second verse) - but I'm gonna try to get the range more in the next few months.

Lurker66 · May 02, 2018, 13:44

My training is top secret but it involves times n distances I haven’t seen or done in 30 years. I’m working out 5 days a week and trying to shoot 1 day a week...off hand.

I been running....need to be shooting.....

Lurker66 · May 04, 2018, 15:05

I can’t hit nothing with my off hand. I’m seriously thinking bout buying a dig with a red dot.

**beseventeen** · May 10, 2018, 06:23

I was thisclose to not working out yesterday... it was so nice and I really just wanted to go fishing. Butttt I did end up doing it anyway. I figured we are two months out at this point I should stop slacking off

I took my 25lb weighted vest and ran and then did the rest of my workout in it as well (pushups/pullups/stairclimber) I was pretty beat at the end.

Been reading your posts at OKFAO, you are killing it. Can't wait to see you in action this summer!

Can we have an RO bonfire Friday night?! Think the McAlisters would allow it? I just feel like post-race smores would be amazing.

It depends on the weather. If we get plenty of rain (unlikely), it probably OK. Unfortunately, if it's typical July hot and dry, wildfires are a big concern. I can check with John this weekend, and see if there's a spot near the pond we can clear out for it though.

Smores? Yuck. Watermelons are the correct post-race food.
