They should be finishing up the road march about now. Anyone got any information on how it is going? How many teams did Regt send?
 
Two former winners are competing again - MSG Zajkowski (2007) and MSG Jenkins (2002)
 
Down from 49 to 26 teams after last nights ruck suck.

Currently in first place at the start of the day stakes is Team 21, 4th RTB.
 
From what I have been noticing usually the team that takes the road march is at the top, points must be higher I am guessing in that event?

Anger:
The road march is extremely important because it sets the order for the next days events. A team always needs to be one of the first teams to go through events because when you come to events that require everyone to start at the same time, you can relax and get some sleep while everyone catches up with you. Also, the road march, like the night land nav, allows you to put a lot of points over other teams.

Furthermore, a team that road marches well, is probably adequately prepared for the entire comp. If a team has the discipline to work on road marching, they probably have the discipline to work on everything.

WAY TOO many teams show up totally unprepared for the competition. Honestly, 50% of the teams that show up, have no buisness entering the competition at all.

I could spend all day talking about this competition. I love everything about it!!
