I found myself loving some parts of the course, and cursing the others that I simply was not prepared for...hello rope climb & monkey bars, I will be ready for you next year! One thing for sure, I have a new-found appreciation for trail running! AARRROOOOOO!

I really liked the tire pull/weights on pully ones..also luved the rope climb walls...hated the mud crawl! After the halfway point I copied the approach of one guy & kinda rolled up under the barbed wire. I think those logs you had to balance & walk across were deceiving...not as easy as they looked! I saw a guy fall off…

I think I'd give it another go! Gotta say I liked the late heat though...it was not so hot by then

You are there already??

Camping near the race sounds like a great idea!!!

I think I ( and my 18 yo daughter) will also stick to the original 3:30 start time with this bunch. Cool that Elena is still driving up...anybody know if Jules is as well?

so when we go to register, just ignore the heat assignment?? where are you all staying?

How do we find each other once we get there? Do they arrange where the heats meet at Registration?

Can't we leave the adult beverages in coolers with our spectators?

WTH? how the heck did you magically post this? Can't wait to meet all of you...even though I'm not technically "friends" with some of you. This is gonna be Great!!!

There will be a group of us behind the rest of the pack of badasses!

Thanks for that helpful link Emma!!

Is this part of it for realz?? Ugh! I'm such a whimp with coldness. So I guess I'll also need to be wearing knee-pads, right?

That's for sharing that bit of info...I gotta get on that. I have also only been dreadmill running. As far as the obstacles go, I see many burpees in my future!

Thanks for sharing you amazing story!! Hard work & dedication has paid off big time...you look wonderful & should be super proud of yourself!! Congrats!!

I say it takes a wonderful friend to know one...and you are one!!!

Holy Hotness!! great result of hard work!!

Bump...didn't hubs talk about this the other day?

Bump until I can read carefully @ home! Thanks for all the helpful info!

^ this and weighing almost every morsel of food that goes into my mouth

you mean that's NOT it??

Why the hell can't I do a regular push-up?? no matter how hard I try I always drop to my knees...

Bump gotta read this later. Thanks for the offer!

The English have lots of slang to bring to this party...and that's before you even start considering their rhyming slangs!

I have always wanted to strip, like @ a go-go bar. I have hit my goal, but unfortunately, everything is a bit too droopy for this fantasy :-(

I gotta say that BOTH of these people know what they are talking about. One day at a time...it's not always easy, but it is worth it. Good luck!

just got home from my daughter's HS play...finally getting on here to log. I'm actually kind of stoked to be on here at night! Woot!!

We can make the alcohol from our own grown produce...potatoes & such, and if we grow some Oats & barley there's beer & bread covered as well. Personally I can do without the dairy. Have you ever seen those re-enactment shows where they pick a time period & only survive according to what would have been available at that…

I agree...he has it going on!

I agree...either of those would have me running to the potty!
