So this was fun. In all fairness it was easier than I’d expected it was going to be. Not to say it was easy, but I was expecting it to be a flashback to my military days and it was certainly easier than the obstacle courses in Iraq. Moving right along…
The tempo/spacing was largely good. There were a couple obstacles that ended up bottlenecking, so if you’re not in the very first elite wave forget about anything like an official time. If you want a time, time yourself and stop it at the events where you’re just hanging out waiting on the people in front of you to get moving. Wasn’t horribly long ever. HR stayed decently up at least, never went back to resting HR which is pretty short time frame for me normally. There was some confusion with parking. We paid for VIP parking and I’m not sure we got it, because if that was VIP then the normal parking must have been a county away. There’s an option to pay a little extra and be able to just keep rerunning the course apparently. Will be doing that next year. The medal was really neat, and if you do enough of these in a year they link together to form bigger ones, unfortunately there aren’t any more near me so that’s out. The hoodie was nice and sturdy, and is athletic cut, so some people may want to size large on that one, but it was nice to finally get a hoodie where I’m not swimming in the waist part of it. I see why people get hooked on this, and I’ll be back next year for sure.
