Maybe carrying a slosh pipe down a balance beam or a board that's low to the ground. It would be fairly cheap and easy to construct, wouldn't be dangerous and would be pretty challenging. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Just keeping it near the top. Anyone have any obstacle suggestions? Quoted:
I have been toying with a balance beam obstacle idea based off of something I had to do in the Army. Maybe carrying a slosh pipe down a balance beam or a board that's low to the ground. It would be fairly cheap and easy to construct, wouldn't be dangerous and would be pretty challenging. Slosh pipe would SUCK. I was thinking 45lb ruck and the 4x4 set at a 45* angle. Very similar to a bridge we walked across at Ft Sherman. But I damned sure don't want to put in an obstacle and fail it.

And that's the problem everyone keeps forgetting: you build an obstacle that you don't complete during the course, and you're banned for LIFE. |

Maybe just carrying it for a distance or rounding a cone and coming back to the starting point or something. I like a monkey bars idea. Especially one that has incline and decline like at tough mudder. That might not be easy enough to build though. How about a vertical wall? |

Already have an idea for a wall. Another obstacle design I have is a salmon ladder finisher on uphill monkey bars with spinning rungs and irregular intervals.
There will most likely be a couple obstacles that are a pace change/mindfuck sort of thing, but nothing will be revealed for certain until the couple weeks previous to CWSE. If we told you what was going to be there, there would be less challenge. Plus I like the shock factor. 
I can pretty well build whatever we dream up, but paying for materials and getting it to Emu's is the challenge. When we get far enough along in planning we'll address all that. |

The Texas CW thread has no shortage of donations. I suspect the same will happen here once things are firmed up and people can plan for it. If not, invite some Texans

What about a puzzle for an obstacle?
Or what if we got the Big Balls from Wipeout? |

I don't think puzzles are kosher; it's pretty well going to be obstacles, although there are a few ideas we have come up with that will be mentally and physically challenging. The mental anguish portion will be the obstacles tearing down your resolve and crushing your soul. Something like the Big Balls would be fun, but we have to buy it, build it, and transport it. Obstacles at Cola Warrior are more simplistic for a reason. |

We've started contacting a few potential sponsors. No news yet, but hopefully we'll have an update on that soon. If anyone has any suggestions for sponsors, speak up.
Southerncross and I (maybe others) are going to start chug training this weekend. This will be my first 2L attempt. |
