Navy Seals Challenge by Sharkey-Images
 

1st Annual Navy Seals Challenge in Seaside Heights, NJ Sept 29th -30th dedicated to the memory of Navy Seal Denis C, Miranda.

I volunteered my services to this organization when I was asked to come cover their event over a year ago.

I had no idea what to expect being as this was the 1st event.

I arrived 7AM sharp in Seaside Heights on the Boardwalk and saw they had been busy the last couple of days in preparation for this event.

The Obstacle Course was just amazing and was most likely very close to a portion of the training a Navy Seal would go through.

The event was open to the public to take the Challenge. Along with it was a 5 K Run and a Run Swim Run competition.

This was so far different from shooting boats from a helicopter but I did catch a boat flipping over !

The event attracted such a diverse group of people . Young to old, both male and female . In fact one of the young boys took 4th overall in the 5K Run. Very impressive.

One of the most captivating moments of the day was David "Goldberg" Laurie .
Such an outstanding performance, I gave the man his very own Photo Gallery.

He was so determined to do this entire Obstacle Course.
When I came upon him in the middle of my shoot, I simply put everyone else off until I finished shooting him and that was when he completed the course.

He was a Special Ops Vet. and one of the strongest individuals I have ever met.
Physically and Mentally. When you view his gallery, you will understand why I spent so much time with this guy ! He damn well deserved every bit of it ! Such an amazing achievement !

I dont think I would want to mess with that guy.. looks like he did just fine.

Those are some really *****in shots you got there.

There is a Navy Seal Museum a 1/2 hr from our house and where it all started. One of the most humble experiences in my life was the day I went through that museum.
That human powered submarine in your pix's was one of the scarier things I saw.
I took a bunch of pix's there as well. Amazing individuals to be sure.

Thank you !

Even had running water in the pits :
