If you want me to tell you why cross-fit/"boot camp"/rapid obstacle type workout programs are bad and encourage poor form, increased risk of injury (including well documented cases of rhabdomylosis), don't provide the cardio benefits of biking/rowing/running...etc, don't provide great increases in strength, and haven't been proven to be beneficial to training for any sport by a credible organization then we can talk further by pm.
What I was really saying it that I don't understand why I'd pay $73 bucks for it. Lets examine what I get if I sign up: (my analysis in italics)
So i get $8-13 in crap I don't want, so I'm giving the organizers $60+ for what? I doubt the set up costs that much, and if it does they need to find a better organizer.All Racers Receive:
- Finishers Medal $2 pot metal that is good for what?
- T-Shirt $5-10 for a shit that I would only ever wear to the gym, and probably feel ashamed for doing so?
- Free Beer ticket for anyone 21 and over $1 pour of bud light, and not really great for anyone who actually works out
- Bragging Rights Worthless
- Free Mud Got that in the back yard
- High Pressure Water to the Gut Worthless
- Roasted Shoelaces Worthless
- Scrapes and Bruises Takes me out of a real exercise routine and might prevent me from being able to play hockey for a bit
- Awesome Stories to Tell Worthless






...There's a little more to it than that but you are entitled to your opinion.
