Maderas Volcano, Ometepe, Nicaragua

Volcano 1, Maderas
I was carrying my 10kg bag with me. The ascent was roughly 1300m and took me almost 3 hours. The top of the volcano was really muddy so it took more time. At the top there was a crater of water that you could swim if you wanted. I'm pretty sure I was the only person that had taken a laptop to the top of this volcano :D
The trail contained lots of jungle trekking, maneuvering around the mud and knee deep sink holes, and avoiding hitting your head on trees.

Sulphur Mountain, Banff, Canada

It freshly snowed, and we hiked up with knee-deep snow!It took almost 2 hours

Ha Ling Peak, Canmore, Canada

2500m mountain. elevation gain of just under 800m, 1.5hr hike, 2.75km
The trail was more popular than the first hike and the snow was padded down on the trail. Sliding downhill was fun

Monkey Mountain , Da Nang, Vietnam

Ended up running from the beach, all the way up to the mountain,
Total elevation gain was 1300m, and 21km. It actually got a little chilly on the top of the hill

OCR World Championship 3km 2017

OCRWC 2017 in Blue Mountain, Ontario, Canada.
The Age group I competed in was 20-29. I believe I started off too strong as by the end of the race the platinum rig obstacles were one after another and my forearms were burning. I had to take a minute break after each of those rigs. I completed all the obstacles on the first try. It was a fun sprint. I really enjoyed all these upper body obstacles in the short course a lot. I'm looking forward to the next short course!
Fastest times were just under 20 minutes.

Toughest - Oslo, Norway Sept 2, 2017

This was my first Toughest race. Consisted of 8km of pavement/trail terrain, with 2 steep recognizable hills which concluded 790m in elevation gain. Let me say first, in these obstacle races there are regular lanes and fast lanes. With completion of the fast hard lane, one can continue running. If you were to complete the regular lane, there was a crawl or an over under section that follows, and then you were able to keep running. If either lane was unsuccessful, you were to do a 200m penalty lap containing a 25 pound sandbag, and then proceed to the crawl or over/under which then follows the running. The great thing in this race was that the ladies did everything the men did, including same penalties, same weighted jerry can carries, same distances. The obstacles were awesome. The fast lane rig was tough, and I did a penalty loop there. There was also monkey bars, or the flying monkey in the fast lane. Also a choice betwen a high rope climb or the salmon ladder. The greatest thing, and my weakest , was the water obstacles. In 2 separate occasions we were supposed to swim 50 meters. This was not my strong point and I felt like I was drowning. I definitely took the longest to get accross as I can see people swiimming past me. Lastly, the last uphill was 350m of ascent, up the norweigean ski jump hill. It was a great photo finish! To add, the weather was positive and warm. The venue had a great atmosphere. There was also booths, giveaways, and competitions throughout the spectator area. I would love to do a Toughest race again!
