Swingers was another new obstacle that Tough Mudder Headquarters devised for Worlds this year. This was my favourite obstacle. You had to climb a platform, then commit to a jump to grab the handles of a swinging trapeze like rod and swing out far enough to ring the bell, before dropping to the water below. It required commitment, strength, skill and timing. If you did not fully commit, you missed the bell and had to do a penalty run. I used my hands to ring the bell but some techniques I saw, had participants kicking the bell with their feet.....but then their landing in the water below was not pretty. I was 5 out of 5 before I missed my first bell.....and that was because I picked the dodgey swinger. Remember that guys.......never pick the dodgey swinger! Overall, I think I only missed once or twice. I did look forward to this obstacle, although overnight it did get shut down due to the harsh winds. Swingers, I hope you return in 2015. #jaselydom #geelongboxing #worldstoughestmudder #wtm2014 #smaifitness
