For this series of races (Saturday and Sunday) the racers had to run the ski slopes. While doing that they had to crawl through mud, uphill, while staying below barbed wire, crawl through a large ice pit, under barbed wire, throw a spear into a bail of hay, traverse a rock wall, climb a rope wall that is soaked with soap and water... oh and also jump a fire pit! What was waiting for them at the end were 3 or 4 guys with pugil sticks ready to knock you off your feet. After takling to the EMT workers, there were only a couple serious injuries, but many cuts, scrapes and bruises.
This is the kind of race I would have done 25 years ago when I was in the Navy. These folks all looked like they had a blast.
