It was a three hour and forty minute trip but I did the 20k without falling out. My body hates me but I won't have to do it again for at least a year. Got the blisters on the feet but the newer boots kept them from getting too bad.
The course was along a road that is outside the secure area of the base. It's about three miles straight with a hill put in for 'fun', then a right turn and three more miles (although I question the measurement). Then we get our names checked off and turned around. A mile into the return I could have slept-walked back. My right leg began throbbing but the pain went away after I passed the three mile turn.
Then there's the flashing red light where two roads meet and signals the end. The problem is that you can see it two and a half miles away. 'Hey, I'm getting close.' Thirty minutes later... 'Hey, I'm getting close.' Thirty minutes later... 'Where the @#$%& is the end?! Eventually I got to the end sat down and passed out until everyone the got back.

Good job! Yeah, I suppose it wouldn't really be a good thing to be the last one back on something like that...
Ft Bragg, I don't miss you or your friends Forts Lewis, Knox, Benning, Ord, McClellan, Huachuca or Hood; but do say hello to the Class 6 stores for me.
