So I'm going to compete in a running biathlon this summer. Its a 10k trail race with 8 shooting stages. Stages are a mix of rifle and pistol from 10 to 500 yards.
I've read through the stages and determined I need ~110 rounds of rifle and ~65 rounds of pistol ammo.
The event organizer has announced a special prize for anyone who wins with a Garand. Naturally I'll be competing with a garand.
I consider myself a decent runner and am training to be a good runner. I can run a 10k now, but I want to run a 10k fast while carrying a load. This I'm not worried about. Training is easy(kinda) and I know how to do it.
What I dont know is the logistics of carrying this gear in a runner-friendly way.
I need to carry 13-14 enbloc clips and 4 glock 17 mags in a way that allows me to run 10k without it killing me. I have 6 molle garand pouches which I can mount to my competition belt, along with 4 mag pouches. I've got a GLS to hold my G19. I'm considering getting suspenders to attach to the belt. I've also got USGI 6 clip bandoleers for the garand.
Any suggestions? I haven't decided on if or how I'll carry water.
