The whispers of how hard it used to be are true, young one. Gather round the fire and I will tell you a tale of my long ago youth . . . There I was . . .
It included the Run, Dodge and Jump -- sort of a sprint to a barrier you had to run through with a left turn-right turn action then cross a little moat repeat through another barrier . . . turn around and return to the start. timed event
There was the suspended ladder -- had to hang and go hand over hand along the rungs, turn around and repeat and repeat as long as you could for up to a certain time period.
There was the crab crawl facing forward going a distance and then returning backward, timed event.
Plus the Push up , sit up and 2mi
rumors . . .RUMORS!!! now I have gone from FOG to something so long ago it is only told in legend . . . sheesh
