Pre-race routine:

Stayed at a different house because Hotel Yohnson was not available. We checked in and got everything ready the day before.
Event warmup:

Did the whole race with Taco, K, Heidi, and Nate. We mostly stayed together at the obstacles and the downhills and then did the mountain climbs at our own pace.
Was able to do most of the obstacles except had to do burpees for:
1 - Under bridge swing: This thing was impossible and the water was freezing
2 - Pulley Weight - Did the female weight no problem, then when I realized I went to do the male weight and was doing ok, until the guy next to me was like the hulk and the whole contraption started to swing all over and I couldn't hold it
3 - Rope across pond - Line was too long to even try
4 - Spear toss - Right at the end. No luck.

Was dark and crazy by the time we finished. Coming down through the woods along a creek bed. Lots of fun though and ready to try it again.
