Spongebob and Patrick were standing behind Spongebob's house, wearing sweat suits and headbands.
"OK Patrick, if we want to have a chance of making the taem, we've got to get in top physical condition!" Spongebob said. "And that's why I ordered this obstacle course kit, it has the electrical equipment to determine the speed we're going, the overall course speed, climb speed, crawl speed, and it will give us an overall fitness rating at the end." He said.
"Well let's get to it!" Patrick said.
"Uh.. Patrick.." Spongebob began.
"Yeah Spongebob?" Patrick replied.
"We still need to put it together he said, gesturing to the array of various pieces laid out on the ground.
"But it'll take forever to put that all together!" Patrick said.
"That's where you are wrong Patrick!" Spongebob said, walking over to a large stereo and putting in a disc labeled, "Stadium Tunes". The music started playing loudly, motivating Spongebob and Patrick to build the obstacle course in about an hour.
When it was finally finished, it stretched half a mile, featuring walls, nets, ladders, hurdles, and even some high-tech surprises. Spongebob and Patrick stood at the starting line, admiring their work.
"Wow, we did great."
"Yeah we did."
"Patrick, put the music in, I'm going to go for it." Spongebob said dramatically.
"Are you sure buddy?" Patrick asked.
"Yeah, just do it." Spongebob said, taking his position at the starting line. Patrick put the music in and pressed "play". He then walked over to the controls of the performance-tracking gadgets.
"On my signal, Ready… Set… Go!" Patrick yelled, starting the timer. Spongebob sprinted straight, right into a dark tunnel. He kept running until the path slightly narrowed., The more he went, the narrower the path got. Eventually he was balancing on one toe from each foot. He leaped over a large gap, and landed on a wider path. He kept running until the "cave" ended, and he was at the foot of a giant rock wall. He reached to grab one of the handholds, but it crumbled and fell to the ground. He carefully put his foot on one, and reached up for another. He climbed this way until he was a few precious feet from the top. He grabbed for the top handhold, and it crumbled in his fingers. He slipped and fell down toward the bottom of the wall until he caught a handhold. He slowly put his feet on 2 more, and climbed to the top, testing each one before grabbing it. He leaped over the wall and started freefalling. He gasped when he saw a group of dangerously sharp spikes at the bottom, with only a small gap for landing. He curled up into a tiny ball, and landed into the gap. He carefully maneuvered around the spikes until he was on solid ground. He ran for about 100 feet before the path was completely blocked, except for a very small tunnel at his feet. He dove to the ground and crawled through sliding to avoid small rocks falling from above. He eventually reached the end, and continued to run, only to find that boulders were being fired from small cannons, using pressurized air. He dodged the impending boulders, leaping over some and diving under others. When he got to the end, there was a small doorway that he ran through, the curved around. He followed it until, he was at the home stretch. He sprinted, gasping for air as he saw the finish line. He kept running until his feet came out from under him. He had tripped over a small rock! He tried to get up, but couldn't find the strength. He agonizingly crawled the last ten feet to the finish line. He got up right after he crossed the tape.
"OK Patrick, what's my final score?" he asked. He looked around, band it was pitch dark. He looked at his watch, which read "1:00 AM". He then noticed that Patrick was asleep at the controls.
"Patrick!" he said, waking him up.
"Please don't eat me gorilla!" Patrick yelled, awaking with a start. "Oh, Spongebob, it's you." He said, catching his breath. Patrick stopped the timer.
"It says here that it took you 6 hours and 49 minutes to finish the course." Patrick said. "Which puts you at a fitness score of -4, and your overall fitness rating is "Total Whimp". It also says that the climb and crawl speeds were "Too large to measure" Wow, you must have done really good!" Patrick said. "OK, me next!" he said. Spongebob sighed as he started the timer, and watched Patrick race off. He fell asleep shortly after, and awoke to Patrick asking what his score was. Spongebob read all the gauges, but they just had letters. When unscrambled, they meant that Patrick finished the course in half an hour, and that no speeds could be recorded because he just broke through everything. His final fitness rating was, "Fullback". Spongebob's jaw dropped. All was silent for a few seconds.
"Well Spongebob, it's getting late, I'm going to to bed so I'm not tired for tryouts tomorrow!" Patrick said, walking away. Spongebob remained there, speechless.
