The race started out with a nearly 1 mile run through woods
and up and down small hills to eventually land me at the first obstacle which
was a contraption made of barbwire and bungee cords that I had to work my way
through. After that another run and on to more and more obstacles. There was a
nice couple mud pits to run through, one up to my chest and the next up to my
waist. Of course this was close to the beginning so you were surely wet and muddy
for most of the obstacles. Here are a few that we faced after the mud pit!
The five walls in a row were certainly the hardest endurance
wise. I was fortunate enough to have a couple bros to help lift me up and get
me over but even with help my arms and shoulders were screaming at me.
The obstacles got higher and seemingly more challenging as I
went along. I’m sure that had something to do with being worn out from the ones
before. The final wall was quite a wall indeed. It was at least 12 feet tall
and had very little assistance for getting oneself up. Again I had my bros to
help me out and we got over it and through the final obstacle-the gauntlet-and
conquered the course.
Was a great day and so much fun to do it with my bros. I’m
in pretty good shape right now, best I’ve been in for quite some time but as
for doing it again, I’m certainly game but I think I’m going to have to start
lifting some heavier weights and running much longer distances before we step
up to the next level of challenges.
We CONQUERED the GAUNTLET!
