I can’t wait to get started.
We continue walking through the hedged weight area and back to the ropes course.
“Oh hell yes! I can’t wait to get on this thing! It’s gotta be at least three times the size of what we have at Blue Crescent.”
I walk past him, I can’t help myself.
This is going to be my new playground.
This course has to be at least two football fields long and runs in a big oval around the perimeter so you make the trek down and back.
It is full of your basic climbing ropes and cargo nets, except nothing seems to be closer than ten feet off the ground and there aren’t safety nets to catch you if you fall.
There are also various sized wood planks and pillars to climb across or over.
There is a rope bridge that has to be 40 feet in the air and it is a makeshift bridge so there is only a signal one inch thick rope to walk on and a rope above to hang on to while you climb across.
The distance between these obstacles tells me it’s set up for guys like Warrior Osiston to struggle.
I’m going to have to get creative with some of them to get through, considering I’m barely tall enough to come up to his elbow.
“‘I’m glad you’re so excited Little One, because this is your first test.
Your training starts now.
We will gain a baseline for where your body is at after being in the hospital for a month.
This will also determine how your training schedule will start.
Over there please.’ He points to a set of three logs lying parallel to each other.
The end at the starting line is in the ground, the opposite end is elevated to about ten feet in the air making them look like complicated, rounded ramps.
Getting closer to the course the obstacles are spread out too, so there is a fair amount of running in between.
“Is there an objective or a goal I’m trying to reach with this test?”
“For now, just run the course and complete it, once I have a baseline we will talk objectives.”
I fight an eye roll, he must get some weird satisfaction at not giving straight answers.
It bugs me to not know what I’m working for.
Completion’ isn’t really a goal, that’s the idea with any course.
Once I am set up where the startline has been worn into the dirt, I look over my shoulder to let him know that I am ready and then back at my target, I can’t let him catch me off guard with anything.
I have to assume every interaction is some kind of test here.
“Go!”
Was all I got.
I run towards the log and take as big a step as my legs can go and continue running to the top.
I takea running leap off the end over a ditch that is so murky, I don’t want to know what is in there, and then ontoa rope to climb down.
I hit the dirt running, sprinting toward a cargo net that leads up to a platform that looks more like a treehouse fort than a training center with its green shingled roof and tree branch railings.
The cargo net was hard to get through, it was hung loosely to make it more challenging and the netting was set wide so my legs kept slipping through the holes.
It felt like it took forever to climb.
Once I reach the platform, I take a second to look at what is next and to catch my breath.
This one is going to suck.
