We headed to obstacle six next, which was Road Rage. This was one that we had done before, in last year's race. It consisted of three rows of junk cars which we had to climb over. In between the rows of cars were tires laid on their side. We had to do our best to race through these.

Up next was the Great Warrior Wall. This was a wall that you had to climb up using a rope and then climb back down using a ladder-lick structure. Tara opted to skip this one, only because she thought that this was the obstacle I broke my figure last year. Turns out we didn't have to face that one this year, thank goodness.

Mortimer's Crossing was the eighth obstacle that we faced in this race. It was basically a rope bridge, suspended a foot or two off the ground at most. This wasn't overly difficult, and certainly not too scary considering how close to the ground it was. We managed to zip through this one pretty quickly.

On our way to obstacle number nine we had to go through the muddy mucky area that we encountered last year. It wasn't nearly as bad as it was last year, though, as the mud wasn't quite as deep. Tara & I managed to bypass a majority of the mud, opting instead to scramble across a log spanning the mud. Tyler decided to head straight through, however, so he was covered with muck up to his waist. We finally made it to the next obstacle, called The Trenches. This was simply a sandy trench covered with widely spaced planks. Aside from having to crawl on our hands and knees, there was nothing to this one.
