Comments: Ok here's the deal, of the six mile course I ran about 4.5 miles of it. Why? Because some jackhole took my bike at the first changeover!!! Yes, the wrong friggin bike. So I spent 15 minutes at the first obstacle looking for the bike.

All in all it was a good day!

Next obstacle was a fog maze, that every one was worried about and it was rather lame. After that was a high wall climb and then sliding down an inflatable slide. At the end of the final leg you met up with your partner to complete the final obstacles. A 13 foot wall climb and rope ladder down, then on to the mud pit. On your
