This was another trench obstacle. Same as the mud mile, expect that it was closer together so that we could potentially jump across the gaps. I did so quite easily, except for the fact that one woman suddenly stopped RIGHT in the way and I almost body checked her into the pit.

Thankfully, I have fast reflexes, even after fifteen and a half kilometers and through obstacles. I stopped before she got tackled. My fiancé saw this and laughed as I did a weird, ballerina like maneuver to not crash and leapt onwards. Seems the course properly named this obstacle in a big way.

I skipped across the gaps and made it to the other side before my fiancé could. Funny enough, he stepped across them because he's just so damn TALL.

My brother is about as graceful as a newborn mule. He made it across though.

We could hear the people from the final obstacle from here. Mostly cheers as they finished and shouts of pain. The last obstacle is the one that everyone fears. The electro-shock therapy.
