Is it possible that we have been situated with one group for so long that it has taken us longer to realize we belong to another? Enter "Divergent," a science fiction story written by Veronica Roth and one of the best recent examples of its genre. The story, in my opinion, was gripping and I thought that it was told very well with a unique cast of characters. There was a great deal of physical activity to be had, though I could have envisioned obstacle event racing being a feature.
I don't think that there are more physically taxing activities than obstacle event racing. The reason that I say this is because there is going to be an influx of competitive spirits seen in cases such as Spartan Race. In the book, they are especially noticeable as the members of each faction work off of rankings, so they have to be able to rank highly in order to stay in within the action. People both strong and weak are able to find themselves doing well, as the book was able to effectively display.
In "Divergent," we hear about the events of the story from the perspective of main hero Beatrice Prior. Ever since she was born, she was part of Abnegation, a faction cemented in the idea of giving. When she turned sixteen, however, she denounced Abnegation in favor of Dauntless, which is more rooted in the idea of bravery and daringness. However, she has to work to attain such bravery, which is a challenge considering she lacks the same physically imposing nature that her peers will sometimes exercise.
Just because Beatrice doesn't possess doesn't great strength doesn't mean she isn't capable, since she actually ranks very highly. For those who do have strength, though, it seems like there are character flaws which get in the way. Al is one of the Dauntless members and even though he is a bigger member of the group, he is not quite strong emotionally. Peter is another example of someone who doesn't possess all of the ideal facets of a Dauntless member, even though he is able to attain fighting prowess and ruthlessness alike.
I think that obstacle event racing takes much more than pure strength to get to the end because of how many hazards may be in your way. You have to be able to utilize the utmost energy in order to get from point A to point B but keep in mind that muddy terrain and flames alike can get in the way. I think just about anyone can get through such hazards from a physical standpoint with the right training. It takes another level of nerve to work up the courage to get through them.
