Finishing the course @ Battle Ram

The course was intense with participants doing their best to overcame the obstacle challenges. Reaching the finish line was pure bliss. (Trust me, I know!) Tears of joy, excitement and pain took over the atmosphere and a rather unique sense of achievement set in last Sunday morning.
