tough guy and gal challenge
Posted by timezoneone
My road trip lead me to Rotorua for the annual tough guy and girl challenge.
The full course is 12 kilometres (7.5 miles), (two 6km laps),and is based on an “Army type obstacle course”. You can run, walk, push, crawl or climb through a variety of natural and man made obstacles.
The course includes water trails, a spiders web net climb, mud slide, crawl under barbed wire, a tricky wire rope bridge, unbelievable native bush trails, paddock running, swamp crossing and more mud. The course has been designed for you to complete and have one of the most memorable experiences of your life.
Well it certainly lives up to the description, one of the guys managed to re-engineer his bottom on a rock sliding down a mud bank, the rest of us were finding mud traces for days and nursing very sore legs.
Sorry about the music, it was a you tube auto selection.
