The Devil’s Circuit is a formidable, challenging, and unconventional obstacle race. Some would label completing it a "hooray", but I am grappling to articulate the sensory jolt of plunging into an icy pool.

I had dreaded this final challenge, but before conquering it, there were another fourteen obstacles scattered across a 5 km running track to be conquered.

The race started with challenges like an 8-foot wall, multiple slanted planks, vertical poles, and monkey bars, bringing blistered palms, bruised knees, and sore muscles. Despite the physical strain, I reveled in the unprecedented fun of the grueling challenge.

The most challenging obstacle, a 14-feet parabolical wall, tested my resolve. Initially stumbling, I embraced failure as a motivator, opting for teamwork. I realized that imperfection is universal, and compensating for weaknesses is the key.

This newfound wisdom propelled me through subsequent obstacles – muddy waters, rotating floater pyramids, dark alleys, barbed wires, and swinging tires – with calm and composure.

What made this experience unbeatable was not just the thrill of completing it but the camaraderie of a team facing the challenges together.

It was a collective effort under barbed wires and over icy waters.


Embrace greed,
No accolade left unclaimed,
Relentless pursuit,
Stay focused, untamed.
Away from the noise,
The hurt, the drain,
Seek euphoria's voice,
In ups, downs, and the rain.
Through slips, falls, and strife,
Stand tall, define your life.
It's not about scars or pain,
But the game's enduring gain.
Refuse to feed the world lies,
Reject comfort in mediocrity's guise.
Don't sign off on a lesser story,
Dream big, claim your glory.
Set ambitious schemes,
Achieve them, let them gleam.
Gamble on your potential,
Trust in your ambitious credential
