The Thermopylae Race

          Hello everyone,

This week I participated in this really cool event called the Thermopylae Race. If this isn't a cool name, then I don't know what is.

The Thermopylae is basically this obstacle course, and it's a whole lot of fun! It was 4.6 km long, with two- I repeat- TWO mud crawls! The obstacles were really fun but pretty tiring, heheh. We had to do stuff like, mountain climbers, pushups, situps, "Urpees" ("cousin of the burpee"), jump rope, bench dips, army crawls and back crawls, there was this obstacle that was called a "wall jump over", and those were only a couple obstacles I can think of off the top of my head! At the end of the race, I was covered in mud, and I had to get hosed off in my backyard before going in my house!

Even if you're not super fit (like me heheh), doing this kind of thing is really fun to do! Especially when you're doing it with your friends, like I did. You're doing exercise while also hanging with friends! Everyone would get a kick out of it and enjoy something like this.

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo from the race...

This was a pretty short post, but I hope you try participating in an extracurricular event in your town!

Keep Smiling,
