The course started out with a good inclined mountain trail run/climb and after some time came the first obstacle, which was a climb/jump over four foot hay bales. Just after the first hay bales was net crawl, which I always dread as my hydration pack never fails to get caught up several times in these nets. Just after the net was another hay bale to jump/climb over and then the course continued on up the mountain and in the direct sun light. The trail run continued on for a decent distance and eventually made its way to about a four foot log obstacle to climb/hop over. Only a short trail distance after the course went underneath the Cargo Net climb obstacle (we would see later in the course) and then made its way a short distance later to the …show more content…
The crawl started in very dirty, but low muddy water and then made its way to a thick mud that was on top of some larger and smaller rocks so racers really had to pay attention while crawling or they could easily smash/bruise both their legs and arms. A very short distance later was the next obstacle “Dip Walk”, which was parallel bars that were also used at the Montreal Sprint, but the decision to place this obstacle just after the mud crawl changed the dynamic of this obstacle big time. I have been able to complete this obstacle back in Montreal on all my laps with no problems, but this time the massive amount of mud being covered on the bars made for a much harder obstacle and on my first lap, I under estimated the mud and slipped off the bars. The volunteer immediately barked at me that I failed the obstacle and that I needed to do the penalty. I argued I under estimated the mud and how slippery the obstacle was and wanted to try again without gloves on, but the volunteer wasn’t having any of that and said do the burpees! I reluctantly (probably pouting) listened to the volunteer and did the darn burpees, but I made sure to not make that mistake again the rest of the weekend! The next obstacle was literally only a few hundred feet away and was an eight foot wall climb; I enjoyed this challenge all weekend and was able to make it over the wall on all laps without assistance. I also was able to help a lot of other racers throughout the weekend with getting up and over this wall, which always boosts my morale! Again, only a few hundred feet away was the next obstacle which was a tire flip of a larger tire that had to be flipped twice one way and then twice back. This was a
The course started in the woods and had a short distance walk/sprint and then exited the woods and came to the first obstacle of the day, Berlin Walls, which on Sunday even though it rained a little during the night, was still covered in lots of mud. The course then continued on for a little bit and made came to Mud Mile 2.0, I enjoyed this
Have you ever heard about the Iditarod?The Iditarod is very important to mushers.The dogs pull the Iditarod along.The mushers can’t compete if their dogs get hurt.The Iditarod is a significant event because it shows the history of Alaska, It preserves the trail,it shows respect for all those who died carrying the disease cure,and it saves the sled dog cutler.
how long does the Iditarod trail sled dog race take to finish? where does it go? what's with all those dogs? these are all questions you might have about the Iditarod.
This part of the run is not difficult for me, which is good because my mind is already focused on the cliff that I know is about 100 feet down the ridge and 50 feet on my left (north). Waiting for my turn at the top, I had lots of time to sit and think about what I was about to do, igniting my nerves and adrenaline, making my body feel numb. I ski to my spot above the cliff, and the iconic House Rock looks like it always does, almost like a fifty foot diving board that will shoot you out half-way down the rest of the mountain. I stop right above the point of no return. I must choose to hit the cliff or not. There is no turning back once I move from this spot.
Physical education classes are not enjoyed by all, in fact, some students do their best to get out of the class each day, but without this class, students would sit in school for seven hours a day with the only exercise being walking from class to class. While changing clothes and possibly getting sweaty may not seem productive for students who have spent an hour doing their hair, or feel awkward changing in front of others, this class provides positive ways of fighting obesity, releasing energy, retaining more academically, and learning discipline. Thus, students should be required to take physical education courses in high school.
I have gone on a vast amount of trail rides with several different horse. This ride was the first time I had ever taken D. D. (Deanna's Delight) out on one. This trail ride will not ever be able to forget.
The Super version of the course continued on the top of the mountain for a brief trail sprint before coming to the next obstacle, which was a classified obstacle on the map and I hate to say it, I cannot remember what it was. The course now continued back down the mountain and the next obstacle was “Stairway to Sparta” which is another ladder wall type obstacle, but with this one the first part of the obstacle is solid sections of very slanted wood that provides nowhere to grab on to and climb up, so it requires good upper body strength to get up the first part of the obstacles climb. From here the course went for one of the longer trail portions of the course that pretty much went through very technical trail descents that required racers to pay attention to the terrain and have patience to get through it. The next obstacle was the “Atlas Carry” and it was interesting to watch racers that just finished the above mentioned technical descents deal with the heavy Atlas stones. The course now continued on for a decent distance trail sprint and the next obstacle I recall was the “Farmers Log Carry”, which was two logs chained together that had to be carried for a short distance and then back. The course again continued for a brief distance and I am sorry to say I cannot remember what the next obstacle was but the next obstacle after that was a set of
Boston marathon and 9/11 attacks is the key victim of the crime and terrorism in United State of America. I believe that in each crime and terrorism mostly committed by the illegal immigrant such as murder, robbery, rape and drug deal. During the 9/11, the terrorists were entered into United State as an illegal because of weakness of boarders and immigration security. Based on the U.S government survey it is conducted that criminal and terrorist first enter as illegal immigrant in the country and they develop their plan. It is very serious issue for each country to prevent crime and terrorism in the country. There are many people have to lose their life because of crime and terrorism attacks. I strongly suggest to the U.S. government to increase
The Iditarod “...would violate animal cruelty laws...in 38 states and the District of Columbia. Of course, Alaska has no such law” (“Dogsled Racing”). The Iditarod is a race in which dogs are forced to run over 1000 miles from Anchorage to Nome within a period of eight to sixteen days. This distance is equivalent to the distance between NYC and Miami. The race began in 1973, and since then, over 140 dogs have died (Molidor). This number does not include the dogs who have died after the race or in the kennels because this information is not released. Sporting events like the Iditarod are abusive to dogs in the name of entertainment and need to be discontinued or seriously reformed.
Have you ever wondered what's so good about the Iditarod or what bad things have happened because of the Iditarod, because if you haven't yet then you're going to go on a journey that could make you think more about history maybe even your future. “The Iditarod is a 1100 mile race from Anchorage to Nome” with 20 different teams of mushers. The reason the Iditarod happened was because of a diphtheria outburst in Nome. The race was then repeated to make people remember everyone who competed in the Iditarod and that the race is no walk in the park.
Seven billion, four hundred forty-two million, one hundred seventy-two thousand, two hundred forty-five people are alive today at this exact moment. Are they all the same you ask, have all the same interests? What percentage of people in the world do you meet during your years of life before it's your time to go? And of the people you meet, are they all the same or do they have differences, have those differences affected you? What has opened my eyes to the world and the different people who inhabit it has been my passion for ski racing. Most people think that to ski race or even ski at all you need money. That the people you meet are all the same, white, upper-class, and privileged. Young people that have no sense of manners or respectfulness
On the first obstacle which was called the tank trap that was really hard. I had to go through a stream then go to a rock, if the rock was dry and not all muddy like a swamp or like trying to walk up a frozen slope. But I just took an assist which is five points reverse was 1 and a gate was 10. After I got off the rock I went to climb the waterfall that was hard there was no grip or little helper spots so I ended up taking a assist then I went on to the next obstacle.
I am riding my bicycle through the polder. Lots of things are happening around me. A gull is eating flies right out of the air. A hare spots me and lowers himself trying to look like a bunch of something else. Plovers are chasing away a buzzard. Godwits are shouting against a crow. Frogs are croaking in different tones while drowsing on water plants. Fish are having fun with each other putting up their dorsal fins on and off. Ducks are leaving the bicycle path because they see me coming. I quit the dyke because there are too many flies above the bicycle path. Being no gull, I do not appreciate them as a snack or meal when they fly in my mouth. A sedge warbler resembling a nuthatch is making a lot of noise. Far too much noise for such a little
Track and field is an ancient Olympic game which began in 776 B.C. There are various events in this sport, track and field. There are also a number of track events, as well as field events. All events require the use of energy and concentration, especially the use of techniques and with these three elements, one shall succeed. In track and field, it’s mandatory to take note of the stadium due to the various markings. So therefore, track and field is a true athlete’s sport, due to its many components and elements.
Freerunning: the art of moving your body across and around a landscape in creative ways by using flips, vaults, rolls and other acrobatic movements. But to me, freerunning is much more; it's a way for me to be myself, to express myself and to let loose. I first discovered the art in my freshman year, when I was looking for something different. I tried the traditional sports, football, basketball, baseball, and even soccer. I didn't see myself there; I wasn’t happy. Although I found comfort in volleyball, it did not satisfy my burning desire for something. Something that was different, that I could make my own.
