    Alright, I apologize for the length of the video in advance. I tried to keep it short, but I had too many good shots and I wanted to show most of the obstacles (I left out two of the least interesting obstacles - haul your wood and wounded warrior carry). This is all footage taken from my cam (my brother was wearing one, too, but I didn't get his footage yet). This is honestly my second time ever editing a video so it's not great, but hopefully a little entertaining. Let me know what you think.

    Thanks Ben!

    Yeah, it's called the "Electric Eel." You have to belly crawl through electric wires. You can tell when they started hitting me toward the end. My wife was watching the obstacle for about 30 minutes before we arrived, and she said I went through the fastest, and I still got hit 8 times:D

    It's honestly not terrible. I've been hit by an electric fence a fair share in my childhood and that hurts worse than the obstacle. I didn't get hit on the last obstacle, but everyone on my team did and said that hurt a bit more:D

    I would recommend doing one if you're considering it. Get a big team together if you can because it makes it so much fun.

    Just another reminder of how out of shape I am. Almost any of those obsacles would have killed me. Nice video and congrats on the run.

    Wish they had these back when I was young and in shape. Looks like fun.

    Those obstacles looked a lot easier than I expected, especially Everest...

    And how much did you have to wait for each obstacle?

    I just make it look easy:D

    In all seriousness, if you can run 5+ miles, have good upper body strength, and are semi-coordinated, it's fine.

    Wait time was non existent except for the rings and funky monkey.
