It wouldn't have been so bad, were it not for my having sufficient foolhardiness to run at the railway-line-like traverse without holding on (arms outstretched for balance); half way along, I misplaced my left foot and "landed" both armpits on the wires I was supposed to be holding on to...!
My tibialis anterior (I think - muscles on the front of the tibia, opposite the calf) ache, and I have a few bruises, but otherwise I survived intact. I'm surprised, as I really thought the effort I had to put into the stirrups would make my shoulders punish me.
It was a very good day out, I think we should go again.
No sore shoulders, arms or stomach muscles then? Lucky you. I'm just glad I don't have hayfever or a cold at the moment. My legs are fine though (apart from the bruises, but I can't even feel those)
I won't say that I didn't put much effort into the stirrups, since I think someone would murder me...
When I stopped holding on, I found that by the time I got to the middle of the obstacle, it was swaying too much for me. Also, I cheated by putting my weight on the harness.
You're sorry that you didn't have sore muscles? Perhaps you should try it again one-handed or with weights strapped to you or something? I'm sure your muscles would hurt then...
I didn't get to see very many people doing it either. You and naath and Suzy were pretty much it. Suzy made it look absolutely effortless and hadn't done it before.

Another hot soothing bath tonight, methinks.

Nope, sorry. Today was legs and arms day at the gym, though, so I'll see if I ache tomorrow with the cumulative effect.
I didn't get to see a lot of people do the stirrups, how did people fare?
