Robert listened to Ms. Vanhomrigh respectfully, he knew people like her and he knew that there would be consequences if she thought for a moment that she wasn't being given the respect she deserved. Priscilla's tardiness soon confirmed that. He wasn't really sure how to respond to the teacher's comment about her reason for tardiness. Object and point out that he had not only been there on time, but that they hadn't kissed yet. Just keep quiet and not try to provoke Ms. Vanhomrigh's ire. Or maybe volunteer to go with Priscilla. There were two lines, meaning that they probably would have everyone go two by two. Robert chose the latter.

He strode over to the front of the other and got himself ready, shooting Priscilla a thumbs-up to let her know he was cheering her on. The signal to start was given, and Robert took off. He jumped over the first obstacle, then approached the pull-up bar. He jumped up and grabbed it, but slid off almost immediately. He tried again, hung on for about three seconds, then fell face first on the ground. Good thing he didn't have his glasses or visor on, it wouldn't have been good to have broken them this early in the school year. He got back up and tried a third time, saying out loud, "Third time's the charm." Finally, he got his leg over it and rolled off successfully, sprinting to the next obstacle.

Robert made it through the next few obstacles easily enough. When he made it to the balancing beams though, he lost his footing and landed on his junk. He began to slide off the beam, holding back any cries of pain, when he wrapped his arms and legs around the wooden log. Robert got himself upright again and continued on with the course. Every obstacle afterwards was not really noteworthy, except the winces of pain with every time he lifted his legs. When he approached the second pull up bar, he groaned and pretty much went through the exact same thing he did with the first one. Finally, he reached the last obstacle, the ropeclimb. Robert made it about halfway up before losing his grip and falling. Of course it wasn't that easy for Robert, he just had to get his leg tied up in the rope and dangle there for several seconds before falling on his head. He tried again, this time making it to the top and back down with no problems.

Robert approached Ms. Iderson and Ms. Vanhomrigh after walking off the course. "Ta-da. Ms. Iderson, Ms. Vanom... Vin... Ma'am, how'd I do?" he asked, still rubbing his crotch as if doing so would somehow alleviate the pain. "Please don't be over five minutes. Please don't be over five minutes. Please don't be over five minutes," he silently pleaded.
