Back in July we 'upped the ante' and did an extreme 10K instead of a regular 5K. It was Spectacular and ruined all future races for me. I also lost my video camera with all the race pics while washing off in the pond :(
Luckily, my friends took pics as well so I still have lots of good shots...I have some pretty cool friends :)
I think I'll do this one again next year!
 |
| The Group- Undercover SKA style ;) Tom didn't go cuz we took a spur of the moment trip to NY for the Hill Cumorah pageant and got back late, and he had to work that night :( I however was awake and running on adrenaline! |
 |
| Bestie's |
 |
| The girls |
 |
| The first obstacle- ice water with a barbed wire barrier to go under, forcing you to submerge and swim under. It was COLD. |
 |
| Here is M going under...she almost pushed me over trying to get out...I was in front of her lol! |
 |
| I was the first to fall |
 |
| Muddy but happy :) |
 |
| More barbed wire |
 |
| We had to crawl through broken clay pigeons and shot gun shells...it wasn't part of the obstacle though :/ |
 |
| I don't run down muddy hills...it's just not smart. |
 |
| I did manage to run up the muddy board and grab the rope though....on my third try.... |
 |
| Log carrying |
 |
| M set the female record with 6 logs |
 |
| I just carried two cuz I was saving my strength |
 |
| Carrying logs is thirsty work! |
 |
| The guys made it across, this guy did it twice...showoff :P |
 |
| M and V started together.... |
 |
| Until V kicked M off LOL!!! |
 |
| V made it halfway...I fell off one bar in...no upper body strength |
 |
| Booo on that obstacle! |
 |
| Taking a break :) |
 |
| Slogging through swamp..there were little tiny red leeches :P |
 |
| Something was funny |
 |
| 15 foot jump into a pit of water...competent swimmers only! |
 |
| Looking down from the top |
 |
| On the way down! |
 |
| Sad we couldn't do it again :( |
 |
| More mud, barbed wire, and sprinklers |
 |
| Me on the left |
 |
| Climbing bales of hay... |
 |
| I needed help. |
 |
| M and I tried and failed this one but V made it...she has a strong background in climbing coconut trees...cheater....but we found a ladder on the side so we could get to the top anyway |
 |
| There was this cool slide at the top... |
 |
| V and I made a big splash :) |
 |
| They had us crawling through mud and hanging electrodes at the end....I went around cuz I'm not a fan of being electrocuted....I was barefoot and standing in wet grass when James touched an electric fence once, and I'm So not into that kind of thrill anymore :/ |
