The next challenge was the Three Legged Obstacle Course. The track had multiple hurdles, tires, and other obstacles.

This time, instead of everyone running at the same time, we would run one-by-one. You'd expect that me and David had already gotten good at running, but no, we weren't. Thankfully, the counselors allowed us to practice before the race.

After tying our legs together, we tried to walk together. We already gotten used to  our first plan, so we tried other techniques to run faster, though we failed to do so.

Finally, we were called up. We stood at the starting line, and as usual, David was extremely nervous. After I comforted him, the referee blew his whistle and we started running.

It was a lot harder than I expected. We failed the jump for the first hurdle. (We couldn't jump high enough and tripped)
Then we failed all hurdles and proceeded to the tires. The tires were easier, though we did fumble a bit towards the end. Lastly, we had to cross a balance beam to the other side and try not to fall into the water. It was the trickiest one. While we were able to keep our balance, I accidentally stepped on David's foot and we lost our balance. Despite our attempts to stay on the beam, we fell in the water. By the time we exited the course, we were soaking wet. (It was a good thing that we only wore shorts)

Despite our, tbh bad performance, we somehow rose to Top 30, thanks to many of the other pairs being slower and falling in the water. Hurray for us?
