Gladiator Rock'n Run

A group of co-workers from Kaiser got together last Saturday to participate in the Gladiator Rock'n Run Race down in San Jose.  The kids and I drove down to watch.

All smiles before it starts!

At the start line.

A "peace out" from Travis.

This was the start of the 6K race.  They had to climb over this rope wall.  Then, they were off into the hills and the kids and I found a shady spot and waited ...

Finally, they showed up again a long time later! They had to complete it as a team, so Travis had to wait for everyone. (He might have been a little frustrated, but he waited).  Here they are moving a log around in a circle.

Then, they had to go across the monkey bars.  (Right after I took this picture, they guy in the light blue shirt dislocated his shoulder ... UGH!)

Then they had to crawl under barbed wire in the mud.

He didn't get too dirty!

Then, they had to climb this wall.  

It was so slippery!  They had a tough time getting over it.

Their last challenge was two of these massive inflatables!

They had to work together to help each other up and over!

Then, they tiredly walked to the finish line!

Travis was wanting to run but they had to finish together.

Congratulations to team Kaiser!

(The kids and I were in a hurry to leave to get to some graduation parties and 40 minutes down the road Trav called to say his keys were in my bag.  Noooo!  I had to turn around and drive back (through the winding roads) to give them to him.  A memory for sure!)
