i cannot begin to describe the rigorous obstacle course which is involved for these competitions. top professional firemen worldwide, who have been training for years all come together to display their fantastic superhuman type abilities. this year, our friend damen dowse was signed up to participate. damen is not a professional, nor does he have the proper training..., in fact the night before we went out for drinks and merely hours before competing he downed a pilsner. so in reality, damen is like you and me, but he took the challenge and well, gave it his best before receiving oxygen from the paramedics.
so to damen i owe a day well spent and enjoyed. the humor that revolved around this day was incomparable to anything else i've experienced. i am happy to say, he survived. so i suppose it's the effort that truly does matter, though you won't be saving anyone's life, least of all your own, it's nice to say you tried? as well as competing with all professionals from around the globe, damen was the only american to participate. so that has to also count for something, no?
