Personal Narrative: How Hard To Do A Rc Rock Array Competition

I actually saw one younger girl doing the course and near the end her mother and father were only a few feet away encouraging her to complete each obstacle, which was totally awesome!

This made four years in a row that participated in the Tri-State NJ Tough Mudder. Tough Mudder has never hidden that fact this race weekend in the Tri-State area is very important to them and they always bring their A game. I raced both days, Saturday I showed up just in time to run the last wave of the day because this was OCR # 3 on the day. I started out in the early AM in Hoboken NJ and then drove to Philadelphia and then double timed it back to NJ to run the full Tough Mudder course.

The first activity that my group did was with tires. The goal of this challenge was to get all six tires onto a different pillar with a limited number of moves. In the beginning, as we walked to the obstacle and our instructor, Zach, told us the directions, it looked very difficult. Although we did

My artifact that shows my success is a cheer trophy that my team and I won in Vegas at a competition. The trophy is significant to me because it took a lot of hard work for our team to perform at this competition. Our team has never worked together so well and had more dedication than ever because that first place trophy is something we all wanted.

If memory serves me, (I don’t think any racer will forget) the next obstacle was the sandbag carry (Super and Sprint), which went down a steep tail on the mountain for a fairly long distance and then back up the mountain for again a long distance that was on a steep incline and really hit a lot of racers hard and slowed us down for the entire climb back up. This obstacle was on both the Super and Sprint versions of the course and I have to say it was way more brutal on Sunday after completing 3 OCR’s already on the race weekend and I had to stop a few times to rest on the climb up the mountain. On Saturday, I actually went more than half way back down the mountain and carried a friend’s sandbag up as well. A short distance after the sandbag carry was the “Spear Throw” and I have to point out, it was interesting to watch how a lot of the racers where totally bonked from the carry and just missing with the spears really bad. I also have noticed it looks like they have moved the hay bale targets a little further away, but not lengthened the strings attached to them and this looked to me to be causing some to have bad throws. I am happy I made this observation, as I adjusted my arch on the spears both days and was able to hit the target three times (I showed a group of racers the technique I use and did an extra spear

I was walking towards the seventeenth hole of the Deep Cliff golf course, listening the rattle of the clubs on my back. My mouth dry of thirst from the pack of trail mix I had ate. I looked down at my scorecard and realized that I did not do as fortunate as I thought. My feet were aching and my arms were sore. I arrived at the seventeenth tee box after what felt like ages. I scanned the sign next to a decrepit bench. It read that the flag was one hundred seventy yards away. I dug deep into my pocket and pulled out a three inch tee and a golf ball. I teed up the ball, eyeing the flag in the distance. Little did I know, that the proudest moment of my life was waiting for me one hundred seventy yards away.

I enjoyed this and found it to be a decent challenge. The course then continued on going against the mountain and made its way to one short trail up a small incline and came to the next obstacle that was a slanted wall with a rope called the “Atlas Wall”. With my Icebug Zeal's on, I love these slanted walls with a rope to help as most of the time they are a nice and easy obstacle and best of all, give me the chance to help other racers get up and over the walls by either helping or coaching them. Once up and over this obstacle the course continued down the mountain for a short distance and came to the next obstacle which was a fun water slide. The course continued on a short distance back up the mountain and then came to the next obstacle which also happened to be the second obstacle of the course, the black plastic tubes and this time racers crawled through the black tubes we had jumped over at the beginning of the course. A short sprint later was a crawl under another set of black half tubes that we also happened to do as an obstacle earlier in the course. At this point course now back near the festival area made its way through a gated fence section and came to a section of the Platinum Rig that was set up as a pretty high rope climb, I have

This birthday had been wonderful. My friend Emily and I hiked up to a place called Griffith Observatory. I had heard that the view was amazing and you could see all of LA. I walked to a artsy concrete staircase where you could see the lively and bustling city in the background. From our point of view, the skyscraper buildings looked tiny and ant sized. The golden crisp sun had slightly set behind us and caused the sky to shift deep colors throughout the city. When the cotton candy like clouds drifted across the electric baby blue sky, I felt an overwhelming rush of pure happiness. The condensed and shrubby bushes in front of us were a shamrock green color, and looked as if they were full of life. I knew

There are a few things you can do to overcome obstacles as it says in the scene “Death Crawl” From the movie Facing the Giants some include to persevere, have self confidence, and be aware that there are no limits Overcoming obstacles means to get past a challenge.

As soon as jumped out of my window i was surprised to see Anna already outside ready to to secure a fort on Ripping Hill. We were already geared up and we headed of to Ripping Hill. We went down to street around a few houses and there we were and the tallest hill in the whole park. We climbed up the steep hill and realized that our shoes were getting wet and soggy because of the snow piled on top of the dirty landscape. I had just received a text from Tommy that said “Just wait till we bombard them with snowballs and take this victory.” I texted back “Wait till we unleash the secret weapon.”. “ We better secure a good spot to make a good fort and fast.” I shouted to Anna up the hill. We jogged up the hill to meet Anna at the top. We were ready

Looking for a new hobby? Well, you're in luck because I’ve got a great one. Rock climbing is an activity everyone should try for many reasons. The sense of accomplishment when finishing is unlike any other. Rock climbing usually takes you to a high point (a mountain or cliff) and from these high points, you have an opportunity to observe the beauty of nature. Exercise, of course, is a positive attribute to rock climbing.

There are climbers like Dean Potter, TM Herbert, and Alex Honnold, Royal Robbins, Tommy Caldwell, and Kevin Jorgeson. Dean Potter is known for free-soloing, base jumping, ascent’s, speed ascent’s. But sadly he died recently in a base jumping incident where he flew into a cliff with his buddy who also died. TM Hebert and Royal Robbins reengineered rock climbing in Yosemite by making the first ascents up (the) certain face(s) of Washington Column, Half Dome, and the notorious El Cap. Alex Honnold is notorious for scaling El Cap’s nose in 2½ hours. He also scaled Yosemite Triple Crown in 18 hours and 50 minutes. Then Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson free climbed the Dawn wall which was the first time this had ever happened. It was deemed impossible to do, yet it was completed. But there are still so many challenges not yet completed in Yosemite. There is so much to climb, it is just beautiful. So many people go hiking and see this beauty, but when you rock climb for days at a time to get to a spot that takes 8 hours to hike too. It is exhilarating to know you can do what what others don’t dare. But along with this excitement, people that want to experience this and don’t train are a

As I stared at the giant radio telescope readjusting itself to follow the commands I had just sent, I remember being amazed that it was actually happening. The summer before I started high school I attended the Governor's School for Math and Science. This camp was held at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia. The camp lasted three weeks, and during my time there, I was given the amazing opportunity to use the Green Bank Telescope. I was shocked that anything that big could move so flawlessly. Not only is the telescope 485 feet tall but it is also one of the largest moving land objects in the world. When my team and I were given control over the telescope, I knew that I wanted to work in the science field for

Crossing linear environment or terrain obstructions with impassible terrain on both sides are a staple challenge used by writers because this simple premise can be combined in hundreds of different ways to challenge the characters. Players will need to discuss order of crossing and how to deal with people who fall in. Having the knowledge of climb, swim, or leaping, the abilities bounding, or flight, or the ritual bridge will help
