The Timberjack Challenge is a team-based event, organized by the Me Fine Foundation. Our obstacle course workout group had two teams partake in this event. And although it was “only” a 5K, there were 31 obstacles, and the race took about an hour. We ran the 5K distance almost exclusively in mud, which was rather strenuous. The run through the ditch at the end felt like it was going on forever. The video doesn’t really show that well, as I cut much of that out. Two of the more challenging obstacles were the 10ft wall and the weaver. We were the only recreational team to finish in under an hour. Within the competitive team roster we would have placed 3rd. Not bad.

We had an absolutely fanastic time with this one. Our workout group had a huge turnout, likely also because the event was local. We went to have a good time and a good time we had indeed. There was not much running to finally hit a muddy obstacle. We ran a short piece, dodged the …
Last weekend on the 18th our obstacle course workout group met at Panic Point, where the Zombie Escape Mud Run will take place on September 8th. We did a pre-race run to test the obstacle course and give some last minute feedback. I put together a video of people climbing their way across the various obstacles. As always, …
