The "Barlow" is.....well I think you guys can figure it out
So I spend the night icing down from my match, foot absolutely killing me. Get 3 1/2hrs sleep, foot feels human and head off to the race. Greeted at 7:30 in the am with a beer
Evidently it is a giant social gathering and we signed in the "in it to win it " category because the obsticles tend to get backed up later in the race as more people and heats are set. Being in this category allows us to finish faster and get to the beer and grill earlier.
Had about 700 teams of 4 and about 3000 people total racing. Got passed earlier by a bunch of dudes, but many of them gassed out right after the obstacles and we gained time. None of our team failed any of the challenges, which were not overly hard imo. The worst one was charging down a mudslide full steam into a pit of mud that really was filled with ice cubes. Holy smokes that one took me by surprise. All I could think was... Jack3d+Beer+subzero temp=heart attack.
Don't have the official results, but I am pretty sure we finished in the top 20. And the only reason that happened was out of 3000 people and 6 heats the only 2 British Girls in the entire race were running right with our group giving me some good ole ribbing once they found out I had a perfect American accent and was not British. They were smoking hot too and their was no FN way I was letting them beat me. To be honest staring at their derriers half the race really took my mind off of being winded.Otherwise we would have probably fell into top 40
