Looking for anyone who may have some insight to a good alternative to the Mount to Coast H1. I bought them last week and ran 30miles on trails with them. Overall, I love the feel! The only problem I’m having with them is that i can definitely feel sharp pointed rocks when I land hard on them going downhill.

Previously ran in the New Balance Hierro v8 and never had any problems with the same thing.

Does anyone know if the T1 or M1 doesn’t deal with the same issues? For reference I’m in North AL and trails around her get quite technical.

Thoughts on the benefits of transitioning from a DE-03 (GS12/13) acquisition analyst (1101) role into a GS12 Contract Specialist? DoW for reference.

I’m currently close to the top of the GS12 payband as an 1101 and would leave a fair amount of potential earnings on the table, but it would give me a chance to broaden my capabilities in the acquisition field. My current 1101 position already required the DAU contracting certification, so I’ve got that locked up and have also been a COR over a major contract for ~2 years.

Does it seem counterproductive to career growth to lateral to a GS12 rather than a GS13?
