Obstacles Everywhere: Hold You Wood

I thought I'd start a new series since I am starting to see a recurring theme in my travels.  It often feels like I am surrounded by Tough Mudder obstacles.  Today was no exception as I was driving down the interstate.  I looked in the right lane and saw something that resembled the picture below.


Most would just see a truck driving with a bunch of firewood in the back.  I saw the classic Tough Mudder Obstacle: Hold Your Wood.  This is an obstacle that we have seen at every race.  Sometimes we hold our wood by ourselves while other times we have help each other hold larger logs.  There is even a tale of a Mudder named DC holding his wood while helping people struggling with their own wood going uphill.  Here are few pictures of the actual obstacle.


I did resist the urge to grab a log of start running down I-64.  I am not sure if seeing everyday objects as Tough Mudder obstacles is an illness, obsession, or just a borderline unhealthy focus.  I do know that I'm not the only one that encounters this.  I'm sure we'll have other examples as we move closer to Tri-State.
