Assuming Razorback is a barbed wire crawl, I only recall encountering two of them. There was no slime to the slide. There were 10' and 4' walls throughout the course. The Plattekiller - was climbing pretty much from the base of the mountain to the top and was a KILLER! There was one obstacle I could NOT do - the Leap of Faith. Climbing up to the top of two cargo containers to jump off into a muddy pit of water is not ideal for someone with a fear of falling (more so than heights). I spent a good 20 minutes trying to talk myself into it and R tried as well but in the end I climbed back down. I don't totally regret not doing it. Here's a pic courtesy of Super Hero Scramble while R was trying his best to get me to do it.
In the end it took me 3:48 and I finished 19th in my age group. More pics to come once they are posted.
Next race is Warrior Dash August 3rd - thankfully this one isn't on a mountain!
