On Saturday Blake and our friends Rob & Kevin completed Chicago's Urbanathlon.  It was a 9.75 mile race through the city and along the lake front with 7 obstacles throughout the race.  The obstacles varied from climbing through tires, going over marine barricades and under nets, doing sets of monkey bars, as well as some of the obstacles shown in the videos.  The most difficult by far though was climbing up and down the stairs & ramps inside of Soldier Field.  Blake and Rob even finished in 2 hours, a shorter time than Blake had expected.  I was so proud of his hard work and for finishing the race!!
