So I've been watching Storm the Wall for the past week, which is a huge intramural event at UBC. There's a swim, sprint, bike, run, and then a 12 foot wall to scale at the end, generally done in relay. The sorority has a few teams, and then there's iron man, ironwoman and super ironman/woman. Those entail doing the whole thing by yourself, and then scaling the wall with various degrees of assistance. Ironman - one guy at the top. Ironwoman - a person at the bottom. Super ironwoman - a person at the top. Super ironman - no one. Super ironman is ridiculously impressive. I mean, all the ironpeople are impressive, but watching someone conquer a twelve foot wall alone is incredible.
A girl from the sorority is doing ironwoman, and watching her go over the wall on Monday was amazing. She is honestly the best athlete I've ever met; there's no sport she seems to not be good at. She's competing again, in the final, tomorrow at 12:30, and I'm so going to be there. It turns out that one of her competitors is an old friend from highschool, so I'll be cheering two girls on. Wooo!
