Red tent is the finish line.

On the right side with a crowd of people - The is one group going up the hill to get to the first obstacle course. I would say the hill is a obstacle course itself. They send out groups every 15 minutes.

There is 25 obstacles and is 3.1 miles long.

Finish area

I can't wait to see them here!

There goes my group to the starting area.

These are the courses right before the finish line.

I enjoyed watching the people working on climbing/jumping up the Warped Wall. As the hours have gone by, I have watched the grass becoming more muddy. The first hour it was sucessful. As the hours grew and the grass became muddier more were climbing the ladder.

Finally, I see someone from the group!!!!!

It's been about 2 1/2 hours and these two finally came through.

They were so tired and wore out from the obstacles. I wanted so badly to cheer for them going up the Warped Wall. However they didn't go. They took the ladder instead. I don't blame them. They did a great job getting through the courses.

I saw several people injured. Nothing life threatening but some did get hurt. I also saw people with some battle wounds like scratches and ripped clothes. Mostly the pants were ripped. You know they are gonna be bruised and sore the next day.

Yippee........ I see my people!!!!

Tim, Skylar, Kaitlin and Larissa have made it through Feeding the Beast.

Ashley, Larry and Sarah have made it through.

Now they need to jump over the Pyromania

PYROMANIA

"It's very hard in the 

beginning to understand

that the whole idea is not

to beat the other runners.

Eventually you learn that

the competition is against

the little voice inside you 

that wants you to quit."

~George Sheehan

That is one muddy girl!

They all but Ashley are going try to get up the wall.

I am so proud of everyone of them. They worked together and help one another and others. They encouraged each other and gave each other strength to get through the 25 obstacles together and make it to the finishline.

Way to go!!!!!!

Main stage with a DJ.

Tons of things going on in this area throughout the day.

Even some dancing. Which Tim and I did.

Let's just say I love this man Dirty man!!!

Afterwards we were so hungry we stopped at Red Robins for lunch/dinner. Let's just say it's after 3pm and nobody had lunch.
