Friday January 18th rolled around
and my son and I were driving to the start point for GORUCK’s Battle of the
Bulge memorial Tough in Columbus, Ohio. We had signed up for both the Tough and
the Light months ago when the events were announced. The opportunity to do an
event in the winter and commemorate such a pivotal battle in WWII seemed
perfect. We had been watching the weather all week before and the forecast had
fluctuated from 12-18 inches of snow, to rain/snow mix to snow early Saturday
AM. As usual in Ohio, if you don’t like
the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change. We were prepared to stay in
Columbus between the events if the weather turned bad so the trunk of the car
was loaded with rucks, food and clothes.
