The weekend before last, we took a 3 day weekend trip to Tyler to the annual Firefighter Combat Challenge. It's considered the toughest 2 minutes in sports...and you're about to see why! It's an obstacle course that's completed in full bunker, high rise pack...the works!
And here's my man...all set to go!
He's on the right, the red side...and was WAY ahead of the blue guy the entire time! Way to go baby!!! Breathing with a tank on, they have to climb a 5 story tower, pull a donut roll up to the top, go back down the stairs, swing a sledgehammer at a kaiser sled, then they take off to zig and zag between taller obstacles. Then they grab a hose, pull it over their shoulder, through a door, turn the hose on, and have to aim for a small hole that makes another door fall, turn the hose off, and run over to grab a 175lb dummy. Then drag it to the finish line...(whew! what a run on...sorry!) 
Kaiser sled
Zig and zag
That's just an amazing time!!! So proud of you baby!(Sorry if I slaughtered the terms...he's not here with me to correct them- ha!)
**AND, he was near the end, which means he didn't get to go when the sun was shining and the light was PERFECT! So, I had to shoot in manual mode, and I was freaking out...and so many of my pictures were blurry and I was so unhappy with them =( but maybe next year he'll get to go earlier...that, or I'll know my camera a little better =)
