Anyone done this/something similar? What were your experiences?

This one looks horrendous

 

[Pepziteric]

That looks awesome

 

[Brad Goodman]

A guy at work has signed up for that. If he survives the training and actually does it I'll ask how he went.

Thanks for sharing the bloke in the prep and training vid is a freak to do all that @ 45yo.

I was going to do it with my brother but i head overseas very early the next day, so i decided against it *wipes sweat from brow*
It looks brutal but fun, i will be hitting it next year if they go again.

Planning on having a crack at the Sydney one with a few mates, should be good fun, and hard ****ing work. Plenty of training to go into it before hand though.

A mate of mine has signed up for it, he tried to convince me to do it with him but no way in hell am I interested.

A friend is doing it in March. Me and my bf (who is also interested in doing it, but not so much paying the entry fee), will prob go down to Phillip Island and have a laug.. I mean support my friend.

 

[rocker_oz33]

if the event was closer l would def go down to watch,looks mad.quiet funny you pay to put yourself though that pain plus mud and the rest of it.would take a few days to get over something like that.

my brother is trying to get me to get onboard. i'm about as interested in doing it as i am dropping bricks on my foot.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Not my idea of fun, especially with awards for best mullet and mohawk.

 

[WALL-e]

About to click sign up before my team mates pulled the pin. Still doing the training for it regardless as it's keeping me fit. $140 is a little steep to pay to get your ass kicked, but seeing as all funds are being directed to OS savings, I'll just kick my own ass.

Will do in the future for sure.

Getting electrocuted...what fun

Getting electrocuted...what fun

Watching all the youtube vids it appears to be no big deal, its the last obstacle and you would be so knackered and full of adrenaline you would do it easy.

 

[The Passenger]

Getting electrocuted...what fun

didn't even know about that. WTF???

[Quivorir]

Not the fittest bloke in the world myself, but have signed up for this with some mates.

Gonna be great

 

[Goldfish]

Signed up, got a crew of 25 together and doing Phillip Island on 31 March, going to be a serious effort and may need to ramp training up somewhat over the next few weeks!

I would say that if you're not fit enough by now there's not much you're going to achieve in the next 6 weeks.

 

[WALL-e]

If you're close it will help, if you don't actively excercise a lot, you're doomed either way.

 

[THRILLHO]

Having looked through it the only extremely difficult parts appear to be the Berlin wall obstacles and the fact the course is set out over 15kms.

Note: I'm not trying to be an internet hero and I get that collectively the course would be extremely difficult, but looking at each individual one I would assume that if you're in your 20s and pretty fit you would be able to complete this course.

I'm overseas while this is on, but if it's held again in Melbourne I'll definitely sign up.

 

[WALL-e]

20km

The walls and the half pipe thing would be the most difficult, except it's designed to be a team event, so you'd be getting a leg up or a lift. The 20km would be hard, however most of the obsticals would have a que when you got there, giving you 5 minutes to breathe.

Couldn't convince a crew, given a few of us are going overseas just after and would like to retain funds, and working limbs.

Looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Couldn't think of anything worse. I've been known to pull out of footy games if there's mud (not srs but almost) so I would definitely hate doing this.

 

[crowsarethebest]

I was going to do it with mates as well but chickened out. I'll see how they go and if they live I'll sign up next year. Ran/did a circuit of 20km a few weeks ago and struggled pretty bad.

 

[Tex_21]

I'm overseas while this is on, but if it's held again in Melbourne I'll definitely sign up.

There is one on just out of Gosford in September. Thats the one I'm doing with a few mates.

Currently running roughly 30+km per week. Run every second day about 5km, gym session on the other day, inclusive of 3km cardio to start, and one longer run of a weekend, usually 8-10km atm, will ramp up. By September I should be right to get through it, but it will still hurt like hell, but worth it.

Let's just say i'm working from a pretty good base...
