EVENT 1 INDIVIDUALS: OBSTACLE COURSE (100 PTS)
Athletes were left in the dark, unaware of what today had in store for them, until hours before the kick off of day one of competition in Cape Town. After registration, they were loaded onto a bus and taken to Stellenberg High School, in nearby Bellville, where an obstacle course awaited them. Tackling the course one by one with a two minute staggered start time the ladies were up first.
A couple of the earlier athletes to take on the course, USA's Karla Wolford and Australia's Emily Cavell put up fast times of 3:31 and 3:32 respectively. The more well-known international athletes had later starts times, but despite looking very athletic and conquering a majority of the obstacles well, none of them were able to best those early times.
Katrin Davidsdottir, the competition favorite, likely would have put up the best time if not for two failed attempts to get over the second to last obstacle, the wall. She still managed the third fastest time for the women with 3:41 and is off to an excellent start through one event.

The men were next on the course and once again some fast early times were put up, this time by Denmark's Andre Houdet and Canada's Lucas Parker. Their times were very close and it wasn't until after the conclusion of the event that is was revealed that Houdet (2:33) edged out Parker (2:34) for the event win.
