5. How will not knowing
the obstacles and order of events impact our approach on the course?
We are five days away from our start in Miami and we still
haven’t seen a course map. We typically
get a sneak peek at the course outline several weeks ahead of the start. The maps are not always entirely accurate but
you get a glimpse of what the course will bring. This time will be completely different for us. We have no idea what the course will look like other than the generic sample map that is included for every course. I am excited to see the addition of some new obstacles in the events leading up to Miami. One of the great things about running these courses is that you can test your progress against known obstacles (Funky Monkey, Everest, etc.) while seeing how you can adapt to newer obstacles. I'd like to put a plug in for the reappearance of the "Twinkletoes" obstacle in Miami. I need to see if our resident yoga master DC can do the "Warrior 3" across the obstacle. In 5 days we will be heading into Miami with signed death waivers and a very limited
knowledge of the challenges that this course will present. We'll be sure to post the actual course map post-mudder!
For some unknowable reason I am getting antsy about the Dong Dangler. Just no practice doing that obstacle and frankly the shoulder is just plum excited about the dangling part. I want to try to cross by sliding across the top - that is the unknown for me.
ReplyDeleteI hope we get the cage crawl. That would make a fantastic picture with your face sticking out of the water under the fence.
It would be great if the electricity failed as well.
