So Nick, comparing the course to last year and this year, w- what do you think? Do you think it was harder? Do you think it was easier?
5:39
Um, it was very similar in a lot of ways.
5:43
Uh, the Ultra loop was a little different.
5:45
Um, I don't think the distance of the Ultra loop was any much different.
5:50
It was about two or so miles.
5:52
But the, um, the obstacles were about the same, too.
5:57
They just did it in a different spot.
8:18
... that ditch if we did.

You probably have an idea of what sumo looks like from TV or the internet, but it's more than you might think.
4:30
Sumo is a standing grappling system where if you are pushed out of the ring or if any part of your body other than the bottoms of your feet touches the ground, you lose.

So if they can get into a stance where they're not going to lose easily, they can cause the larger person to overcommit, and then pull them rather than trying to push to cause them to fall on the ground or run out of the ring, and it's actually very effective.
