I've participated in a handful of races and I like to run, but this was, by far the hardest fitness challenge I've ever taken part in. I went blazing up the first 8 levels, then huffed and puffed it up the rest. I was drenched when finished and swore my lungs were going to crumble.
I think it took me about 20-25 minutes; I'll have to wait for my official time from my time chip to see. Half way through I thought I was going to be sick so I took a water break for a few minutes, then finished.
`
Afterwards I promptly proceeded to the ladies room and tossed my cookies. I was in good company...there were two other girls throwing up as well.
`
I love a good challenge. This "race" was a personal goal of mine and it felt good to know I obtained it.
`
I feel good!
`
~*Thank you so much for the nice comments and well wishes...I hope to be back with an update soon! Hope you are well.*~

I just got my "official" timed results: 16:03! I surprised myself, yahooo!!!

Way to go! Sounds like you did pretty damn good - better than you were giving yourself credit for. Awesome. Sort of makes the hurling worth it.
