i really wanted to, but my very poor excuse is f all training time due to 1 under 2 and 1 under 4


lookedto be very fun thouigh.

how were the electric shocks and did you get a tattoo?

 

[trickylad]

There were two electric shock obstacles. The last sprint home was one but the worst was the electric crawl. Under a very low timber structure whist being sprayed with water and a plethora of unavoidable live wires. The first one that got me genuinely made my whole body convulse. After that it was head down and get through screaming like a girl.

No tattoo for me. That's a bit much.

Ahaha hilarious!

Does look great fun that.

 

[trickylad]

It was. Genuinely great laugh. A challenge not a race is the ethos and they deliver it with the help of your fellow runners.

Oldest finisher was a 65 yr old woman I heard. Impressive.

The ice baths and numerous river crossings were immense. Proper body shock stuff.

That older woman is impressive!

How long is it? When does the adrenaline run out?

 

[trickylad]

It's a half marathon. It was hard but I enjoyed it all.
