By volunteering this afternoon at Muddy Hell at the Inverse Tyre Wall I saw a completely different side to obstacle racing. I saw people who wanted to give up just keep going, I saw people that tried and failed but at least gave it all they had. It was amazing to witness someone's sheer determination and will in order to conquer and achieve something. To the amazing man that on his third attempt did it, when there was a moment he said he couldn't do it but he did.
It amazes me when you see the distraught in people faces when the find out what they had to do. To have that moment of self doubt when you start to sych yourself out. Your shoulders drop and you feel in your heart you can't do but you still get up and give it a go. The scary thing is, I know that feeling, I remember approaching obstacles where your heart just sinks, those moments of self doubt set in and you fail the obstacle before even attempting it. It is a scary prospect and it takes so much strength and the courage to break through that barrier and step up to the mark and conquer your own fears.
