I believe that I may have mentioned my affection for Wipeout and American Gladiators before.  I think that the draw is that I am naive enough to believe that I could actually compete in events like these.  I’ve even been on the look-out for tryouts in my area, but thus far, California remains definitively not in my area.  It’s unfortunate, really.

But what if I had a chance to do something like this.  Would I actually do it or would I shy away?  Let’s say that someone made a running course that was 3.22 miles.  And suppose it had some obstacles.  Like jumping over fire.  And climbing a cargo net.  And rappelling down a wall.  Maybe even crawling through mud.  Stupid, right? How much would someone have to pay you to do things like this?

As it turns out, you only have to pay $45 to subject yourself to such torture.  You actually have to pay them?!  Yeah, that’s right.  Who in their right mind would be stupid enough to do something so dangerous and actually pay for the opportunity to do it?

I’m in the 2:00 wave for the Southeastern round.  May 22.
