An obstacle course race - been a while since one of those! Course was around 3 miles I think, with 20 obstacles.
Pretty good day, I only failed two obstacles. One was a sort of giant wooden spool balancing obstacle, which definitely was more difficult if, like myself, you weigh more than the spool. Unfortunately spending a bunch of time trying to negotiate that obstacle wiped out my calves, and they ended up cramping on the next obstacle.
The other failure was a massive ropes rig right at the end. I had actually completed that obstacle last time I did this race 2 years ago, but this time there were a few more grip challenges earlier in the race, so my grip was already a little wiped by the time I got there. And... I'm carrying about 10 extra pounds of pandemic weight right now ?, definitely makes climbing obstacles tougher.
Came away with a few bruises and scrapes, but all in all a good time.
