February 3, 2007: Extreme foot race with obstacles

Reminds me of MXC/Takeshi's Castle.

1. What surprises me most is not that such an event exists, but that there are apparently a great number of people who feel compelled to participate.

2. The dude crawling through the mud under the barbed wire behind Thong Guy is looking away from Thong Guy's ass, as though he had just let one rip.

3. Thong Guy is especially manly, since some of the participants are dressed for cold weather. Does he have "Go Packers" written on him somewhere in yellow and green?

4. Are we pretty sure this isn't an event strictly for Russian asylum residents?
