Comment on an earlier post... I was never as good at road marches as I thought I should be given my running background. Whenever I did timed 12 mile road marches I'd usually finish mid-pack whereas I always won every timed 5 mile run. etc.
I think it was mostly my feet. Never did find the right boot/sock combo. I did IOBC in in late Fall, Winter so we had very few ROTC guys - mostly older OCS graduates. Lots of Ranger/SF guys in their late 20s. Those guys could road march!

For some reason I don't usually have any problem with road marches. But then I don't typically come in first either.
Maybe you just had a large expectation to finish first because you could with all your running. You were probably a great road marcher, but maybe you had really high expectations?
