    Done ...it was pretty intense finished in about 3 hrs had some teammates slow a couple of us down they eventually got left behind. Weather was 50-60 water was freezing cold could barely hold my beer without spilling it at the end. It was a blast!

    They had one called pirates booty it wasn't that it was hard but it was basically a swim through a pond in the shade extra cold water about mile 10 then cargo net climb ...couldn't feel much after that.

    I was looking at pictures on Facebook of both Saturday and Sunday. That was one of the obstacles that caught my eye. They have rope net climbs on almost every course, but I hadn't seen one where you had to wade in water and wait in water to start the climb.

    Did they have the obstacle "Island Hopping?" I didn't see pictures of it (I don't think).

    How many obstacles were there?

    Oh, and one final question, are the shocks as bad as everyone screaming makes is sound?:D

    If island hoppers are going up an down chest high mud walls into waist deep mud they had 2 of them :thumbup:

    I believe there was 24 or so obstacles, and those electro shocks are no joke! Almost took me down I buckled a little and kept running...they deff hit harder than I expected

    I have to wonder what happened? You would think if you can't swim, you wouldn't do that. Unless it was the shock of the water.

    I mean the water was cold both nights had lows in the 30s. They did put emphasis on of you can't swim skip it. I could also see someone accidentally jumping on him and knocking him out. Either way thats a tough way to go out.
