4 hours flat

If you’re talking the Netherland’s Ruck March at Nijmegen, it’s four days

3:44 but did it with Norwegians on a deployment and their fastest was Male 2:37 and female 3:05. - they annihilated the US SM times

I had a male Soldier complete it in 3hrs and a female Soldier complete it in 5hrs.

Yup. I did it in 2017 and it took me 13 hours and 35 minutes. The experience was grueling but also incredibly rewarding; it felt amazing to see all of the hard work I’d put into physical training pay off in completing the march.

no but some of these times are impressive that I'm reading

I only applied and was accepted to one deferred MBA program (Darden) my senior year. It comes with a $30k scholarship, but at this point I only find an MBA to be worth it if it’s mostly covered. I have a 710 gmat that’s good for a couple more years, is it worth retaking to see if I could be eligible for more scholarships? At that point, should I just apply to more schools if I retake?

Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
