I know the feeling. The one before the Assault course was hard, well thats what i thought untill the next morning where we were up at 5.30 and getting 'warmed up' for the log race when we were all aching like hell, i thought that was hard untill i did the one just before the Log Race
Its all good fun and i am looking forward to my go at it again in November. Well i wouldn't say hard but challenging, you stop way beyond the point of this is solid.

Tab,
I found my son's free fall records, and near the begining I remember seeing "bad exit and position, back to the dope rope". Have never let him forget it

Thats similar to mine. I was clasiffied as a 'good exit' but 'bad position', because my legs were bent at the knee. Looked good on the video we watched of it afterwards
