tyler does a 5k

Tyler somehow discovered a super fun event coming through the area - the stunt 5k or something like that.  He wrangled my cousins, Alex and Austin, into registering and we all showed up at 8 AM on a cloudy Saturday morning.  I did a terrible job as photographer, but you get the idea.  It was a super fun course with obstacles built in!  They even had a punching wall, a la Wipeout.

 After about 5 minutes, Tyler and Austin decided that running back and forth up the field was a waste of energy.  It was, really, since the "running" portions between obstacles were mostly switchbacks.  They didn't even time this race since most people walked and sometimes you had to wait in line to do an obstacle.

 This was one of the first obstacles, which was a bummer since it was still pretty chilly out.  Nobody wanted to get wet!  You had to swing across and land on these floating pads.  It was impossible.

 Tyler is on the farthest one.

 I cheered them on while TJ tried to go jump in the water.  He didn't think it was too cold for getting wet.  As you can see, he's making a grouchy face at me because I wouldn't let him follow dad on the fun-looking obstacles.

 Here's a few other obstacles:

 Waiting to do the last obstacle, a rope climb followed by a zipline.

 The victors!  I guess the race was called "Thrill Seeker 5k." 

I nearly went in to labor trying to push the stroller around fast enough to get pictures of all the obstacles.  Even though Tyler did the race, I could barely move for the rest of the day!  It was still fun, and Tyler definitely wants to do it again next year.
