Ninja Warrior Course: 1, Teggy: 0
I am clearly not a ninja warrior.
Today G4 held a Ninja Warrior course on Santa Monica beach. It was really well made and there was a great turn out. I had told my Stickam audience that I would "be there with my ninja socks on," so I really couldn't chicken out from running it. If you've ever watched Ninja Warrior, you'd know that there's always that initial "girl who you know will suck, but is cute about it."
That was me.
However, the course was over mats, and not water; so if you failed on something, you could just move on. Therefore, my humiliation continued along the five events. At least if it was over water, I wouldn't have had to endure the embarrassment so long. I took my suckiness in stride and smiled the whole time. I'm not built to run the men's course. I don't have upper body strength. Though I did successfully make the spider jump! I think I surprised myself. I was only able to move about six inches before I dropped, but I was proud of it.
And um...let's just say that it's a good thing they made us all wear helmets cause the ramp down into the warped wall was a lot shorter and steeper than I thought. I totally lost control and ran INTO the wall headfirst instead of UP the wall. I heard my helmet hit the wall, but it didn't hurt me at all so I'm sure I'm okay. I did twist my ankle when I fell from the pipe slider, but it didn't hurt at all, so I'm not too worried. Hopefully it won't swell up tomorrow.
If anything good came out of it, I'm pretty sure they didn't bother taping my run. And even if they did, it's not like the general populace will recognize me...or care.
