Team Event 3 - Tire Flip

Day 3 of the team Big Cat Challenge brought an event that required both strength and speed for every competitor.  The event was the Tire Flip.  Teams were required to flip a 150+ pound tired 100 yds. however, each team member was only allowed to flip the tired 7 times then sprint back to the starting line to tag in the next player.  That player then sprints out to the tire for 7 more flips, and this pattern continued until the tire crossed the finish line 100 yds. away.

Each team was evenly matched in this event with only 11 seconds separating the first place team and the last place team.  In the end tho, a victory is a victory and "The Gangstas of Love" led by team captain Kevin Jackson picked up their second win in 3 events thus far in the challenge.  Captain Will Keiser and his team finally pulled themselves out of the cellar a bit and finished second in the event after 2 last place finishes in the previous 2 events.  Keiser and his team definitely have some work to do in the following events to put themselves in contention on the final day, but in the end, the obstacle course can make or break a team.

Here were the results of the Tire Flip event:

Team Jackson "The Gangstas of Love" - 3:16
Team Keiser - 3:19
Team Pappas "Team Sanchez" - 3:20
Team Binder "SAWS" - 3:20
Team Klimesh "Green Death" - 3:21
Team Lawson "The Team Formally Known as Prince" - 3:27
