SPEARHEAD Civil War workout is coming up in February. The North SPEARHEAD will face off against the South SPEARHEAD. Contact your team’s general if you want to participate. The Hoff is leading the South, Dallas is leading the North.
DREDD is coming down to Q SPEARHEAD South on 1/17, I hope we will see everyone out for this special guest Q!
The Hoff asked that I post some info on the socks and gloves I used for 421 (aka SnowRuck) for those of you doing cold weather challenges. I wore Swiftwick Performance Seven socks: http://www.swiftwick.com/performance-seven-black-9611-prd1.htm and never switched them out. I was wearing Saucony Peregrine 2s, which aren’t really insulated at all, but had no problem keeping my feet warm. I highly recommend all of the Swiftwick socks. They may be expensive, but after you wear a pair you’ll understand why. Swiftwick has some other warmer versions if your feet get cold easily.
For gloves, I wore Atlas Therma Fits: http://www.atlasfitgloves.com/atlasthermalgloves.html and never changes them (even after the welcome party in the snow and bear crawls up and down the back steps at AG). You can get them at Blackhawk Hardware.
