This situation is gonna be hard to describe I think so bear with me.
I am ''gettin' on'' - right! No longer the 100 yard sprinter I was - not as much stamina - I smoke too so - shortness of breath from running is likely to hit me after a bit, tho must say - I still do ''dash'' quite well. :wink:
The consideration tho is - and it is hard to either imagine or make an informed decision - do I stand ground and ''get it on'' - while breathing well and still ''with it'' or, do I run but lose that race and then have to engage, outa breath with shakey - everything!!!
Of course - how the heck might we ever know which choice to make! My point is that I would fight better before running than after. Maybe I would have time to assess my escape route - maybe not.
Now tho the dilemma aspect. I wish like crazy to avoid any confrontation and so if something looks like going down I am outa Dodge from choice. However, if in so doing I realize finally that my escape route is inadequate and will result in a block, then, maybe stop the run and engage the enemy sooner rather than later.? Seems logical.
OK - this is very full of holes and hard to evaluate but let's say broadly - it has to be better to engage while fit than after some exertion and then less than capable by comparison. Remembering of course for some of us - an inherent duty to retreat.
I practice shooting on the move - this tho is not what I mean. I mean having to ultimately fight your way out of a spot, after you have run and gotten real fatigued.
Just another ramble - to stimulate your cerebral cortex! :smile:
