Slipping In Loose Gravel

Start position was hands on the wall. At the beep, you open the door (pull) and move through, to the first shooting position about 5 yards forward and 10 yards to the left. What *I* elected to do, however, was to open the door, break into a sprint, slip on the gravel and fall, ripping a bunch of holes in my left palm and left hip. My post-match relaxation once I got home consisted of pouring hydrogen peroxide on my wounds and swearing like mad.

Ph34r my mad running $k1llz :ph34r:

Be safe... aggressive tread patterns are your FRIEND! :)

I used to wear soccer cleats. I went to the Nationals a few years ago when they were held in Virginia. I dug in hard with the cleats in that fine red Virginia clay and promptly ruptured my Achilles tendon (finished the stage, though!)

Now I wear something a bit less agressive...

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice. I'm lucky, all I do is pop ACLs and pop my hips in and out ever once in a while (not a mean feat, lemme tell ya).

I wear football cleats built for linemen (seeing as I was one) that have a lot of little cleats rather than a few big ones. They give you better grip on wood planks, metal surfaces and concrete than regular cleats. I still consider it an aggressive tread pattern, though not as aggressive as some. Better than cross-trainers, anyway.
