Gah, looking at the videos and the wounded warriors, that's so inspirational. And I don't use that term - inspirational. Be right back, my eyes got an allergy.

The teamwork with people that you did not know was the best. I helped more than I was helped, but it was super rewarding to hold your hand out to someone and give them that little extra to get over the obstacle. One of the cooler things I have done, I want to do another one.

I'll post some details later I'm broke off!
We're running it again... You're welcome to join our Texas team 3/31 (Wortham, Tx)!

Thanks for the responses ladies and gents.

I'd love to do another one, but time and money are always a factor.

I'm going to look around for one close to me again... I want to do it with someone that is close to my ability so I can put out.

Bark, I grew up building fence... I was not scared. Getting the pee shocked out of me was worse.

The half pipe was awesome. I didn't need help getting up, I ran and grabbed the top no problem. I think it was more mind over matter on this one.

90? Do the dang math. 1955 + 2012 =.....crud. You do the dang math.
I would not have done that run even when I was 30.
Hope not, but did they have any major injuries this time?
(by the way, the LEGGS look fabulous)
