Left: McKenzie Quade tries to pick up Legos from ice cold water, while Russell O'Fallon lets his feet warm up a bit before attempt to pick up another Lego. Below: Elliot Bertram crawls through a tunnel.

Among the challenges were jumping over obstacles, crawling through a tunnel, tossing golf balls into a five-gallon pail six feet away, jumping rope, catching water balloons which were tossed 20 feet into the air, catching raw eggs without breaking one, and picking up Legos with their feet from a tub of ice cold water.

After going through the course once, the water in the tub with Legos was cooled with a bucket of ice. The participants found this to be a ÒchillingÓ effect as their feet cramped up from the cold water. They had a difficult time trying to pick up the Legos using only their cold feet.
