There were fifteen of us who made it through a 3 mile battle of 15+ obstacles. The hardest part was just showing up to the event and doing it, than the actual event. There were coals of fire that we had to run through, monkey bar climbs and uphill running trails. We ran through mud and climbed 5-8 foot walls.
