    Great obstacle coverage and commentary. However I miss Kevin Donoghue- he added a lot of good info and energy.
    Also, it would be nice and flat w better to have the men's and women's races separated. Especially since the videos aren't live and can be edited.

      @abusinghornet09 5 лет назад

      I think the mindset was the women we’re fresh on the early obstacles so it was more likely to see position changes with them than the men in the later stages of the race. They did make sure to catch Adkins pass and then battle for 4th at the end though

    @ 27:01 Standing on top of the fence? Rule 3.01(a) (iii) 4. Says - Standing on the top of the fence or crossing the fence results in an
    immediate DQ. Does this not count?

    • @charleydavis9041
      @charleydavis9041 5 лет назад

      You have a good eye. It’s funny because it says in the rule just before #4 that you do not need to keep your feet on the ground and that you can use the fence for leverage. But you’re right, she looked very close to standing straight up on that initial pull.

    • @zacholson3429
      @zacholson3429 5 лет назад

      I wouldnt consider it "standing" unless you were on the fence without holding onto anything to keep you up, being able to balance on it.

    I prefer the normal way these races are narrated and commentators are on screen as often as not. This one seems to me more of a voiceover commentary. Still good but I enjoyed the commentating of Jax a lot more.

    Few tips: it's faster to do the rope climb all arms, just jump up high and then pull yourself really quick, only 5 seconds or so. For the rotating monkey bars, try to skip 3 or 4 at a time and keep your momentum going forward. When there are no obstacles try to sprint to the next one instead of jogging. These are a few simple tips, let me know if you want the best tips on every obstacle.

  • @oumun

    Great race, but very disappointing coverage. Once the women started, we seldom saw the men! That's so weird since the leading woman was by herself the entire time whereas the 2nd and 3rd placed men were separated by just 15 seconds. Also the entire time!! :(

    • @hamzaa.8082

    • @shanaosborne7078
      @shanaosborne7078 5 лет назад

      Don't forget the men are the best of the best and for the cameramen to be able to stay with them is very difficult, however because the women start a little later they will have more camera people at the areas the women will be and it will be a little bit easier to keep with them than it is the men due to natural differences. Hope that helps x

    • @oumun
      @oumun 5 лет назад

      I would fully agree if the cameramen didn't keep up with the men before the women's race started... But they did! In fact, I'd be happy just to see the men doing the obstacles, but even that was omitted for most of the coverage. And that shouldn't be difficult...
