Well, I did it! It was scary, exciting, nerve-wracking, tough as nails but fun!
The course was 5 miles long. They literally had you climb up to the top of a ski mountain on foot! It was one incredibly steep hill after another and it was rough! If you weren't navigating steep hills then you were navigating trails in the woods that were muddy, slippery, rocky and hilly. And THAT was just to get to the obstacles!!! I am going to attempt to remember all of the obstacles though they will not be in any particular order....
-Climb over a short wall (4 feet)
-Crawl under a wall (space at bottom)
-Climb through a wall (holes in middle)
-Javelin throw
-Log walk (several "stumps" in a line that you had to traverse with out falling off of)
-Go down a big water slide into a body of water and swim to the other side. There were a couple of floating "obstacles" you had to swim under along the way as well.
-Monkey bars (hand over hand across a set of bars)
-2 different army crawls under barbed wire through mud(ground was hard and rocky under mud.)
-Reverse slanted wall climb
-Dragging a heavy cement block that was attatched to a chain a certain distance.
-Carrying a sandbag (20# or 40#) up one of the super steep hills mentioned above and back down. THEN you still had to go back up to continue the race!
-Rolling mud pits (like 5 or 6 of them) (wade through very muddy water with small hills to climb up and down in between)
-Pulling a rope to get a heavy cement block up in the air and back down again.
-Cargo net climb.
-Lateral wall climb. (like rock climbing only on a wall and right to left)
-Rope climb.
-Slanted wall climb (rope attached to help you pull yourself up).
-Tall wall climb (7 feet)
-Face "Gladiators" with "weapons" trying to keep you from getting to the finish line.
-Jump over fire.
There were a few obstacles I tried but just couldn't do and one at the end that I didn't even try coz I knew it was a lost cause (lol).
I am planning on signing up for another one in NY when it comes back around! One of the guys I went with y'day is entering a longer one in NJ in Sept that he did last year but he said it's miserably tough (and longer) so IDK if I want to go there....YET!
