Obstacle Course 5K

Saturday morning we participated in the Beat Cancer Boot Camp Obstacle Course 5K. Sunquest was one of the race sponsors, so we met early to get pictures together and with my coworkers.

We did warm-ups with former Olympic athletes before the race.


This year our strategy was to run fast at the beginning to get ahead of the crowds and avoid lines at the obstacles. We succeeded in avoiding the lines and were able to zip right through the activities. Here are some of the things we did on the race:

Sit ups


Ammo box presses



Fire hose carry through the sandy wash


Wall climb



Rope ladder climb. Charles is climbing the ladder on the left.


Run through tires


Bale jump


We had a fun time running the race together! Next year maybe we'll go through the mud pit again.

That looks really fun! I think you should have done the mud pit though. I love the flowers in your yard. It looks so pretty. Love you guys!

Great job! I have never heard of something like that. Looks like a challenge but also quite thrilling.
