Run up the Wall



Last year at the Spartan Race Super in Atlanta, I met my match a the 8 foot wall. I was not expecting to miss the wall; I never had before. I know all I have to do is reach the top and I can scramble right over like the scrappy dude that I am.

However, each attempt at jumping to reach the top left me frustrated. My hands could not get a good hold. The top was slippery and I could only grasp with my fingers which is usually good enough. Not that day; I did 30 burpees and moved on. I hate doing burpees and expending so much energy on non to little energy obstacles like wall climbs and especially the spear throw. 

I'm facing the same issues next weekend in Atlanta. This time I went to Youtube to check out some parcour videos. I think I'm going to make it this time.
