This past weekend my wife, sister-in-law and I did the Guts and Glory Challenge at Browstone quarry. All I can say is wow.
We were on a team with another member of the tri club, and it was a lot of fun. There was a 400′ swim that lead to a rope climb. Then we had to carry a 4″ pipe that was maybe 6 feet long through a tire run, under a 20′ log wire barrier, on a mile or so run, through an oiled tunnel, down a zip line, up an 80′ cargo net, and down another zip line.
The rope climb was tough. The rope was pretty thin and made of nylon so it really bit into your skin. The tunnel was nearly impossible. It was tight and slippery. It sounds like most people skipped it. Three of us on our team made it through. The zip lines were awesome, and the cargo net was scary but doable.
It took us nearly 90 minutes to get through it, which put us dead last in the race. I’m fine with that though, we were doing it for fun, and I can’t think of a more fun way to spend a few hours. Good times!
I’ll most likely be doing this again next year.
