Glad to hear your test run went well. Out of curiosity what layering system are you using. I'm headed out towards Hot Springs today to do a test run too!

ok, so im wearing a long sleeve under armor cold gear compression shirt, my summer shortsleeve shirt, old navy fleece hoody, and marmot raincoat on top, so 4 layers, shoes would be speedcross 3, darn tough socks, injii sock liner, dirty girl gaiters , and lightweight hiking pants (my legs dont when im moving so i can do this) and a loose pair of boxers but i might grab a pair of tight boxers because i get chafing because im over weight!
