As part of Edmonton's Corporate Challenge I had the opportunity to try and compete in the obstacle course event. The competition was held at City Fit Shop, a ninja warrior, parkour style obstacle course gym located just off of Whyte Avenue. In a race against the clock we needed to complete the course as fast as possible. We had one shot at each obstacle and then it was onto the next, except for the warp wall. We had three tries for that one. A fail one any obstacle meant our team was docked points. I loved obstacle courses as a kid and love them now just as much...I'm just not quite as good at them as I used to be.

The Corporate Challenge obstacle course started outside with a variety of stations to test all aspects of our fitness. This particular challenge involved moving from point a to b while standing on and moving small wooden blocks.

The tire pull is a strength test and made me appreciate fitness classes that helped me train with sled pulls and pushes...not my favourite exercises.

By comparison to the sled pull and other challenges this looks like it should have been easy. Simply stand on the pipe, balance while you flip is over and move onto the next one. This tests balance, core and coordination which I was apparently...

Finally, a challenge I can do to redeem myself for the pipe roll fail. Competitors needed to work their way around the bouldering wall at City Fit Shop as part of the Corporate Challenge event.

Obstacle course monkey bars are my nemesis. Fortunately this year, with a swing and a jump I conquered this station.

Apparently these warp walls are the same size as the ones on TV and equally as challenging. One trick that I picked up...get shoes that have good grips.
