Early Morning

I was running late that morning. It takes me an hour to reach the park. By the time I arrived, I was rushing my ass off towards the registration because I only had 30 minutes before the race started.

Once that was done, I hurried up and opened up the packet, attached the stuff I needed onto me, and dropped off my bag. Then I started my warm-up. A few minutes later, I head off to the start line.

Thoughts In The Beginning

I was at the start line and felt pumped. The first thing that pops in my head, hopefully, my shoe doesn’t come off or step on again. My goal was to pace myself and enjoy the event.  

Now the race was about to start in a few seconds.

My Thoughts During The Race

I flew through the first few obstacles like a breeze. However, my pacing was slow though.

The obstacle that gave the most trouble was Hercules Hoist. I was having an issue lifting that bag, but I managed to do it. I had to pull and push with my leg; it took so much effort from me.

I was done; I felt pretty drained.

As I approached the bare wire crawl, I got low and dove in, but damn shoelace got caught on bare wire. I was like, you gotta be kidding me. So I took a few to get my shoelace undone.

I started to crawl and roll. Once I reached the end, I was a little bit dizzy from that. Then proceed onto the slip wall.

At the atlas stone carry, I knew I couldn’t lift off the ground. So I kneeled and rolled that stone up my knee. Proceed to stand up and carry that damn rock.

I was glad when I dropped that rock back in its place.

Then I proceed to finish off the race.

Finishing

I was worn out, and I had to get ready for my next event in a couple of hours. I got to work on my endurance, pacing, and obstacles proficiently.
