Talked to American Ninja Warrior Producer

A producer from American Ninja Warrior called me. They couldn't download my video. She talked me through another process to submit the video and now all is good. We are on track and will hopefully be chosen to audition.


Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-12/18/14

Find a route that has workout stations. I like the quarter mile track on Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Run 6.2 miles with obstacles in a track or similar area with obstacles or a playground. Warm up with a 1/2 mile, then hit the workout stations. Mine had 4 chin up, 4 monkey bars (ring, incline and traditional, climbing obstacle, sit up, tire flip, rope climb, balance, parallel bars, tire run, and 4 foot wall.

I did each obstacle 4 times. That's 36 pull ups with leg lifts, 16 lengths of various monkey bars, and etc.

I ran a lap and then performed each obstacle twice. I ran the course twice over a 6.2 mile distance.
