Obstacle

Older self-described attendees praise the mud, obstacle variety, organization and family accessibility. Two older writers describe enjoying the race in their seventies and returning with younger relatives.

OCR for Fun · 2018

Obstacle

The writer and Peter finish the short course in nearly three hours after starting in freezing conditions. They enjoy the obstacles but struggle with cold water, queues and icy grips, bypass some unsafe-feeling walls and fail the final monkey bars. They describe learning from a difficult first winter outing.

Complete original 3 March 2018 short-distance participant narrative. The organizer supplied their requested 7+ km entries. They finish but explicitly bypass/fail obstacles; this is not full obstacle completion or a 15 km/Ultra experience. The short course omitted the lake swim, but still had repeated water passages. Historical conditions and the complimentary entry are retained without a numerical rating.

Babsi and Jürgen Pfalz (TLZ Donnerskirchen)

Obstacle

The joint club account describes repeated cold water passages, lake obstacles, sandbag carries and a return through the start-area obstacles. They finish tired and pleased with a wet, demanding opening to their season.

Complete original undated account of the second main Zillingtal Dirtrun. Exact raced day and distance are unstated. Jürgen Pfalz is also named as chairman by today’s Celtic Warrior Competitions imprint, so this account is not counted as independent of the organizer. It remains historical Zillingtal feedback rather than a review of his later Donnerskirchen course. No numerical score is supplied.
