Rugged Super Heroes

This is a photo blog entry.  Pictures only, not much commentary.  Yesterday I posted Feeling Rugged, where I told you all about the difference a year makes.  So, if you missed that, make sure you check it out.

Super Heroes BEFORE

Maria and I striking a rocker pose.  I think I look ridiculously stupid.  Maria can pull it off.  Me, not so much.

Before you even get to the starting line, you have to climb over this 4' wall.  

Getting ready...Billy is smart.  He's stretching.  Maria and I are posing.  See my arms?  I have cut off tube socks on.  I look pretty ridiculous right now, but I have no scrapes or bruises on my arms this year, so score one for me!

Maria, me, Mitch, Brian, Billy (Mike is behind Billy, but you can't really see him).

The balancing beam was the first obstacle we caught up with our spectators.  This was just about near mile 2.

Lots of climbing through mud...You can see most of my team entering the tubes here.

My team is either climbing through the mud or in the tube...I am the one with the orange shirt just getting out of the tube.

Pardon my back showing...here I am cheering my team on...Brian is just getting out of the tube.

Yes, that's me jumping over fire into a bath of muddy water.  It may sound crazy, but this was so much fun!

The Warped Wall

Probably the most challenging obstacle of all.  We all made it!  

(I didn't get a picture of Billy on the wall)

Joey getting ready....

Up, up, up, and up!  He was a rock star!

We are all standing there, thinking, "HOW AM I GOING TO DO THIS?"

Mitch did it like it was nothing.

John

I did it!!!!  Last year I couldn't do it.  This year I wouldn't take no for an answer!!!

Maria

Mike (on the right)

Brian

Almost to the finish line...

When you get over the warped wall, you have to climb across the cargo ropes to the other side.
If you are afraid of heights, do NOT look down!!!

Made it!!!  Water and orange wedge in hand!

Hooray!!!

Everyone on our Super Heroes team survived!  All a little dirtier for the wear, but in one piece.
