NZ Obstacle Team | 3K burner π₯π³πΏ
Athletes took on the 3K in the arvo after the 15K
A quick refuel, a short lie-down, then the team was back at it. Having the opportunity to touch almost all of these obstacles already and no sign of the snake pit or twister to eat our bands this time, results were absolutely stacked.
Shoutout to our 3K legends π«
