Pack test

Last years was normal sub 40min. I assume this year will be as well when I take it in a couple weeks.

Curious, what is “wtc”

Wct, "work capacity test" to qualify for arduous wildland fire duty, 3 miles with 45 lb in 45 minutes or less

I’m not gonna lie that test sounds easy. Is there elevation change? Or typically flat?

Yeah it's not like a big achievement just a spring ritual for people who work in fire. Flat ground usually paved. But probably a bit harder than you think to maintain the 15 minute pace! Unless you have long legs. I never do enough weight vest training ahead of time and now in my forties I pay for it in the shins.

It is. its not supposed to be hard. Just measures a minimum fitness level.
