Our university arranges a number of sporting events. Earlier this year they arranged a 5k fun run which I attended as well as various sporting tournaments including karate and chess. This past weekend they arranged a x-run for staff and students. This consisted of a 2k run followed by an assault course set up on your field. I've added some pictures of the course below.

There were 13 obstacles on total which had to be completed after running for 2k in the afternoon sun, there was an individual and team event (5 people per team). I was lucky enough to be asked to be one of the five members of the English teachers team.

There were 14 teams in total from the university and we were pitted against some of RMIT's finest athletes. Well, to cut a long story short, I'm pleased to say that we won the event. Not only did we win the event, but we did it by a huge margin as the results table shows. We completed it in under 14 minutes and the nearest team took an extra 4m30s. If your wondering "Giao vien Tieng Anh" means "English teachers" in Vietnamese. I've now got another very nice trophy to go with my darts trophies. Not bad for a group of guys in their mid to late 30s against university students.
