Adventure #4

Today was the Diva Dash. It is an adventure race that my friend Rachel thought would be fun for all of us to participate in. When signing up for the race all we knew is that it was going to be a 3 mile course with obstacles every half mile. They kept all the obstacles a secret and basically told us there would be stuff for balance, speed, agility, and water involved.

The course itself was an obstacle in that it was very rocky and sandy in places and there were many hills that were long and steep. The obstacles ended up being a lot of fun to complete. The first one was a tight rope walk which was pretty easy. Then there was a maze we had to get through while crouching down below the flags they had set up over our heads. This one did make my quads burn. Then it was off to a gated area in which large balls were pushed into us by guys. Next was a wall of ropes that we could either climb up and over on or we could maneuver our way through the ropes to the other side. The agility obstacle were rubber inner tubes set up in long rows that we had to high step through. The last one was 5 floating trampoline inner tubes set up in a semi circle on the lake that we had to jump from one to the other back to dry land. I felt like I was on the tv show Wipe Out. We only witnessed one person fall in the water, but that obstacle was a lot more difficult than it looked. We all agreed it was a lot of fun and we are looking forward to doing it again next year.
