Storm the Wall and Sunny Weather

If you live in Vancouver, you know that yesterday, and today, where sunny spring days. Sunny weather like this is a huge pickup for me, because I love the summer.

When I arrived at school today, there was live DJ playing music and lots of students about. I go to UBC, and this week is the week of Storm the Wall. They set up the walls just outside the SUB, and they had music playing. What more can you ask for, other than people, music, and sunshine!!!

WHAT IS “STORM THE WALL”?

Storm the Wall is a 5-person team relay or individual event. Including a 225 yard swim, a 450 metre sprint, a 2.8km cycle, and a 1km run, followed by “storming” a 12’ wall.

Swim: 225 yards

Sprint 450 meters

Bike: 2.8 km

Run: 1km

Wall: All 5 team members climb a 12-foot wall

This event is probably one of UBC’s most well known Rec Centre event.

Yeah, its a bit cold in the mornings but once the afternoon rolls around, its nice in the sun. And as for the 12 foot wall...its amazing what teamwork, atmosphere, and crowds cheering you on will do!!!

Wow, that'd be tough. No way I could do that lol. Glad to hear of the nice weather though, it's like 20 here in Ontario, which is a HUGE change since it was snowing again just last week.
