The NLP Rampage is a team fitness competition in Manchester, New Hampshire that benefits the Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Comprised of 12 events, participants compete in teams of four to push and pull cars, roll monster truck tires, and carry teammates on stretchers across parking lots (this was my favorite event as I was the petite one relaxing on the stretcher which ultimately led to a win in the event).
Pushing Monster Truck tires - not for the weak!
Competing on a team, each member will bring strengths and weaknesses to each event. In our case, it was clear to see that John led us in rock climbing, Max won the sprints, Dan quickly chugged the beer (yes, that's the final event!), and we all failed in weightlifting!
I rock climb while Max outlasts the other sprinters!
What I enjoyed was that this race provided a strong sense of cameraderie as the four of us would sometimes compete shoulder-to-shoulder, and in other events, we'd compete individually allowing the others to cheer on. This setup also let us get to know the other teams through friendly banter.
Fearing we'd come in last, it turns out we tied for fifth place out of ten! Mission accomplished and sore bodies to be had!
