Greatest Race Ever

So, yesterday I ran the "Troll Extreme Run" here in Belgium.  Troll is the sponser.  The run is a 12k run through the woods with a couple of dozen obstacles.  I notice another huge difference between the States and Europe about a mile into the race.  We were climbing over a pill of tires with wires hanging down over the pile. One of the guys on my team (to the right) bumped a wire.  It was had electric current running through it.  No race in the States would have actually electric shocks as one of the obstacles.  It took over 2 hours to go 7+ miles.  Running on the streets, 7 miles would take about half that long.  I realized how dirty I was the first time we swam across a canal.  I got out, looked down, and realized that I still had mud down my shins.  By the third time across the canal, I was relatively clean.  I like this type of race far more than a marathon.
