What it is, its a 10.5 run with obstacles. You can do it in teams of 3 or solo. Of course I decided to do it as solo. The run was easy, my fastest mile was at 7:45, my over average, excluding the stair climbing was about 8:45. There were 8 obstacles throughout.
1. Monkey bars - did well, had to jump to reach it and finished it, but with my shoulder tendinitis I was feeling the pain on my right shoulder.
2. Jersey barricade and the culvert tunnel - easy no problems there.
3. Under the Dodge pickup and under the cargo nets - still easy no issues there
4. Marine Hurdle - DAMN - this one really made me angry, it way above my head I tried to do it in several ways, but just could not get over it. I could not believe how hard it was. I would wrap my legs and arm around it and hand there and could not get my body over it. In fact the girl, a cutie, tried to push me over but she could not. So, she ended up cuffing her hands so I can step on it and leap over it. As I am done, it just took my breath away... I was so pissed that now I want to find does marine hurdles and practice them so I can conquer them... Ugh...
5. Soldier field stairs up and down 3 times.- There was a bottle neck at the entrance, so I ended up waiting and waiting to get to the stairs, that one obstacles that I thought would kick my ass, did not... It was fairly easy, but steep.
6. Over the Taxi - Easy, I just leaped over it.
7. Over the wall - 2nd try manage to pull myself over without a problem
Next time, I will train for Marine hurdles and start doing major pull ups, as long as my right shoulder does not give me a problems.
I have to give special thanks to some great and awesome supp rot I had on the Course,
April and Karyn who out there on their bike just rooting for me.
