Storm the Wall
The university rec dept is holding the annual Storm the Wall event. Teams or individuals must complete a 225 yard swim, 450m sprint, 2.8km cycle and 1km run, and then climb a 12’ wall. Here they are practicing for the real event next week.

The white wall is for teams:





The blue wall is for Serious Competitors:

1. Are you entering?
If not, I think you should be our photographer for the event!

I'm really loving all the shadows on the walls (especially in the second picture).

3. No, I won' be participating
Apart from being very non-athletic, I have too much work to take the day off.

The shadows almost have a life of their own, don't they?

5. Shadows
The shadows are definitely the standouts in these great photos. Will your work finish in time for the end of the event?

4. That guy was a kangaroo
He kept jumping the wall in a single bound, over and over, teaching the others how to do it. He even did a back-flip off the wall.

6. The last 3 make an excellent set.
The guy in the last one would make a great stunt double for the next installment of the Spiderman franchise.

7. Yep, he IS spiderman
He could pull himself up by this fingertips. And not just once either. He was teaching the others how to do it.
