Citi Field Race Report

Lastly, is the exciting Atlanta Braves Stadium, I spent most of my time there when visiting Atlanta. The stadium is always packed with rowdy Braves fans wearing various forms of Atlanta Braves t-shirts, hats and of course THE foam fingers. The crowds are just as fun to watch as the actual game itself. They get into the game by hollering and cheering for the Braves to win the game. There are many concession stands that serve hot dogs, pizza, nachos, and cold drinks. It is fun to see all of the players dressed in their uniforms, they all looked like they were excited to play. The coaches were helping some of the players on the field and going over plays. The coaches seemed more anxious to get the game started. The field itself was so green and the dirt was so clean looking. The Braves games have been more interesting over the past couple of years.

We had a lot of fun because a lot of us got there like about 3 days before the actual competition. So, we would go to the pool and or just walk around because there was a food court and bowling alley, so we would have fun. We would just run around and eat all day and have team bonding time. We had practice the day before our competition and we hit everything and was doing really good.

As we pulled into Clovis, we first had to find our hotel that Kicker booked for lodging. We next finalized out destination as we pulled into the Clovis Fair Grounds. Campers, tents and motorcycles were EVERYWHERE. It was by far the biggest race I had ever been to.

I want to say I really enjoy the five dollar ticket, the free parking and the free copy of each teams roster. The only down fall was the lighting was as bad as I have seen this season and maybe ever and the scoreboard not working 100% All in all it did not seem to affect the game or the players.

This was my third year that I ran a TM as this English Town Raceway venue and I have to say I really liked how the course designer completely changed things up and used the entire venue very different that the two previous races (2014 & 2016).

The starting line was filled with up to 100 people. Bodies pushing you to get to the front, men who are already somehow sweaty and people who are just excited to be there. My sister helped me get over the first wall and we started. The first hill was horrendous. I relied on my sister to push me up once my legs started failing me. But once we got to the woods part, I was able to go on by myself. Jess and I both decided to walk most of the obstacle course since we weren’t in the greatest shape but we all helped each other get through as many obstacles as we can. There were hurdles, a slanted wall, downhills, a net we had to climb, and more. Once we got to the barbed wire, there was our first water break. The barbed wire was almost a half a mile long and we had to crawl under it on our stomachs or however you wanted to crawl. There was so many people around you doing the same thing and all going at the same pace. We thankfully got water sprayed on us during it so we washed off the mud

The show all started from open performances from Post Malone and Moxy Raia. When buying the tickets I didn’t know who these artists were so I had to look them up. Post Malone is a rapper and guitarist, so I thought he should be good. Therefore, when I got into the arena I was excited to listen to him, but it was awful. He was so loud and he didn’t really sing. I would never want to go back and listen to him again. This got my expectations down for the concert. I definitely

Registration was done different than the other BattleFrog races I have done, but because it was early and registrations were low, it was still nice and fast. Typically, with BattleFrog, racers can go to any registration line and register, but this time it was done like Spartan USA and racers had to locate their bib numbers on a list and select the correct registration line.

XMAN has a pre-race like no other obstacle course race I have taken part in; the DJ not only plays a killer play list

I was racing the first wave of the day, so I arrived early and at least when I registered, it was fast and easy. They did place the registration way in the back of Icahn Stadium so I did have to ask someone

-4 steps of the obstacle course: jumping over 5 hilltops triangle steps, knee walking, going through the tunnel and stroking and connecting dots to form horizontal and vertical lines to increase fine and gross motor skills, body awareness and work behaviors.

You still have a few things to consider. If you can, go pick up your race packet the day before the race so you can get your racing bib, helmet number, and bike number. You can attach these so you don’t have to worry about it tomorrow. You can see the race route on line (usually), so if you have time, drive the route so you can get a feel for the land (especially the bike course). You may not realize how big some of those hills are by looking at a map, but if you drive the course, you’ll know what’s coming the next day when you’re actually riding the course during the race. The night before the race make sure you go through pre-race checklist to ensure you have everything. Running shoes—check, bike helmet—check, bike cleats—check, water bottles filled with water or energy drink—check, race numbers already mounted on helmet, bike, and racing belt—check, bike tires pumped to proper pressure—check, bike ready for race—check. Finally, you eat a good dinner (nothing that will upset the stomach or make you feel bloated) and try to get to bed early.

The course started out a going up the mountain and almost immediately came to the first obstacle called “Bridge” which was a very slightly inclined wooden ramp racers had to run/walk up and then almost immediately after that was was a series of the black plastic tubes/pipes typically used to crawl through, but this time racers had to jump/climb/hurdle over them. A very short distance after was the next obstacle, which was a series of mud trenches, I was able to

On the first day I did well. We did barrels, poles, flying w, keyhole and flags. Most of the time I got a 20 through 30 time.I only knew three of the events poles, barrels and flags. Barrels are where you go around 3 barrels in a clover shape. The poles is where you have 6 or 7 poles in a straight line and you weave through them. The flags is where you have a barrel in the middle of the ¾ spot with a bucket of sand with a flag in the middle and you run down grab

So dayton always his brother how the track is because he goes out there before his brother. So he told his brother that is was slick in the corner so ees on the gas in the corner. The straight away was just dirt so that’s where he’s gonna catch his speed. So his brother went out there and he didn’t listen,he tried to floor it in the corner and spun himself out then when u spin out u have to slow down so u can go straight again. But he didn’t so number 14’s brother hit daytons brother so daytons brother was mad so he went real fast so he could catch up to the “pack” , So he caught up and he some how got up to second then he spun out again and then he got his spot back then he won the race.
