Too many jokes that would earn the Ban Hammer...
Therefore, I'm staying away from it.

I worked a spartan race last year. Not Ricky rescue at all. Some friends worked tough mudder a couple months ago and it was full on Ricky Rescue paradise

I am running a Spartan Race in August. The whole thing seems less eaten up with itself than Tough Mudder, which we did 2.5 years ago.
I would like to work medical for any of those. It's on the list.
I may try to do a Spartan Sprint later this year. Spartans look to be more focused on strength/endurance and less silly than Tough Mudder.
The water station I was at had one of the Spartan founders/death race finishers hanging around it all weekend. Talk about inspiring and super down to earth. Guy is nearly 50 and in super shape.
Working the medical was ok. Pay was decent for a weekend of work. Unless you can commute each day or split hotel costs then its about break even after paying for a hotel and expenses. Share some costs and youll make a little off it. We were BLS only; a local contracted private ambulance company had Gators and provided ALS care/transport if needed.

If you do one, try your best to be in the first wave or two. After the first couple of waves, you just end up jogging a few meters to wait in line for obstacles.

Very tempting
Just remember, Aidey isn't the only one who can swing the ban hammer.

Apparently shift bids are now open, I was half hoping to get a 911 job by now so I didn't have to leave right after they rearrange everyone's schedule. Oh well, not much I can do about it, maybe I can get an ALS or CCT shift in the meantime lol

Pfft! Lol I prefer racing 5ks and 10ks, so on the rare occasion I do an obstacle event, the waits get me far beyond frustrated!

I didn't realize you guys still used the "ban hammer". Isn't that a little outdated?

We use Sansio now and are looking at ESO. I'd love to hear more about it, what you like and don't like, what hardware you're running it on, Bluetooth capabilities and what not.
There's 4 medics that have Verizon hot spots and myself and 3 others that have Panasonic Tough Books with dual antennas and internal Verizon 4g cards for testing. Originally everyone thought it was a hardware problem but after using this TB I'm 100% positive it's a software issue.
A chart only takes me like 20 minutes but when you add in the time spent fighting with the computer it turns into more like 35-40 minutes. If you have long return times or run in a slow system it's not a huge deal but in a busy system it makes for a lot of OT from charting alone. I've had checks where I nabbed a full shift worth of OT with only working my scheduled 8 shifts.
