New Obstacle: Dark Lightning

TM SoCal was the 2013 debut of Dark Lightning. 

The myth of what goes on inside is growing. All we know is that it separates the men from the boys, so to say....

Haha It was the best and worst obstacle at the same time. It was definitely the most anxiety inducing challenge for me. I recommend this one for every Mudder course from here on out.

Yeah, this one was a treat. Not only do you have to worry about getting zapped from above, if another mudder is touching you when they get zapped, you get to share it with them. Good times.

Basically "Electric Eel" in the dark.  Not that bad, just stay low.

I agree with Erik. I took the advice that was given at the start point, and just stayed low. I didn't get shocked once.

I was as close as a man could get to the ground without getting it pregnant and I still got zapped 5 times while working my way through.  I should have adjusted my angle, I bet I was just following the line of wires.

I was told to stay low and it worked. Got zapped once. Nothing compared to the Electric Eel. The girl in front of me kept yelling that she was getting shocked on the butt because it was too big to stay low enough. Very entertaining to say the least. I caught up with her later, at least I think it was her, and could see why. Great obstacle!!

I thought someone was bumping my ass but it was wires zapping me.  I heard lots of people getting kicked in the face and arms.  All I can say is planks!  Get used to them.  My self and my team are hooked and already signed up for the summer event.

Loved it! Advice: STAY LOW! And DO NOT touch the other mudders! It completes the circuit.....learned this the hard way!
